Kheema caramelized onion sliders

Ingredients
1 lb ground meat
1/3 c oil
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp @nawabi_usa ginger garlic paste

1 cup @nawabi_usa fried onions
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Slider buns
1 tbsp butter

in a pan, add your oil and heat it up. Adding your ground beef and cover and cook until there’s very little pink meat left. Most of it should be brown. Add in your @nawabi_usa ginger, garlic paste and your powdered seasonings. Cook until the oil rises to the top. This shows that the oil has separated and the meat is ready to eat ready to eat. At this point, you are going to sprinkle your @nawabi_usa fried onions on the top of your meat and cover it. Lower the heat and let it steam for about 10 minutes or until you see that the onions have softened. They won’t be crispy anymore. They’ll have more of a caramelized look. At this point, you’ll sprinkle your cheese on top and cover it again and let the cheese melt. At this point, you can eat it as is, on top of rice, in a tortilla, in a slider or sandwich, anyway that you want it. I made toasted sliders. To do that, fill the meat filling into your sliders and toast them on a fry pan and some melted butter until both sides become a little golden brown and toasty. You can serve it with a yogurt. Write that or a cilantro, chutney or even ketchup. Enjoy!! by @cilantrochronicles

Hubby was working from home today so I got to make myself a satisfying egg sandwich.

1 egg, you can also use 2
A small handful of onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro. (Add whatever other veggies you want)
A tsp or less of chili onion crunch or any chili oil
2 slices of bread, it would be delicious on sourdough I just didn’t have any
A slice of cheese, I used pepperjack but again, use anything you have
Cream cheese

Sauté up your veggies and add in the chili oil once they’re softened
Add in your egg and scramble
Add the cheese and then your cream cheese toast

If I had avocado I would have added that. You can also add bacon or any meat you want. Enjoy it with some spicy hot sauce ♥️ by @cilantrochronicles

Chaat Masala Ramen- sis I’m pregnant don’t judge me. This is a concoction I made based off all my cravings today and it hit the spot!!! Next time I might garnish it with fresh onions, tomatoes and cilantro.

Ramen, boiled without the spice packet
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp @the.spice.lane chaat masala
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Shredded cheese to taste

Melt the butter and add in the gg paste, soy sauce, lemon juice and chaat masala
Add in the noodles and mix together well
Turn off the stove and melt in the cheese
Garnish with whatever toppings you want. I used @nawabi_usa fried onions and green onions but I can imagine it tasting good with so many different things too.

This is one of those dishes that would hit the spot late at night after a dawat or wedding! Try it!

Achar Chicken the easiest way ever! At ISNA I discovered this aunty and uncle who were sourcing fresh spices and creating their own wonderful spice blends. They so graciously gave me some of their spices to try and let me tell you, I am in love. Being 32 weeks pregnant (surprise!!), I am always on the hunt for quick, easy and scrumptious recipes! And let me tell you this was it. Literally only a handful of ingredients needed to make the most satisfying meal! Make sure you follow and order from @the.spice.lane

1 lb chicken
1.5 large tomato’s
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
1.5 tbsp @the.spice.lane achari masala
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup yogurt
Cilantro to garnish (optional)

Follow the steps in the video making sure to cook your chicken until the oil separates (I tried to show a close up of what this means). Garnish with cilantro and enjoy with naan or white rice. Enjoy and keep me (and 🍉) in your thoughts and prayers.

P.S this has the perfect spice level, both my kids, my husband and I enjoyed it without any issues (and my husband doesn’t even like Achar chicken)

Greek Pasta Salad-This is the quickest and easiest dish for a bbq potluck or party! This recipe is so customizable and you can honestly measure with your heart but for those who neeeeeed it, the recipe is written below!

I truly believe that the biggest “secret” to making good pasta salad is making sure your vegetables are all cut to be approximately the same size!

You’ll need:
1 box tri color rotini (16 oz)- you can honestly use whatever noodle you prefer
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
12 oz feta cheese
1 box cherry tomatoes, halved
1 can black olives, sliced
2 small red onions, cut in bite size pieces
1 large cucumber, peeled and cut in bite size pieces
1 1/3 cup Ken’s Greek Vinaigrette

Boil the noodles according to the package and run cold water over them when you drain them.
While the noodles are boiling, chop the vegetables up.
Soak the onions in half of your dressing.
Toss the noodles in olive oil.
Mix together everything and serve chilled. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @cilantrochronicles

Cinnamon Cakes with a Brown Butter Maple Icing

You’ll need:
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 stick of butter
1.5 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp maple syrup
A pinch of salt

Prepare the cake mix according to the box but mix in the cinnamon powder

Bake in whatever dish you please according to the time on the package

In a sauce pan, melt butter. Cook it until it gets a dark brown color. Stir often.
In a separate bowl, pour in your milk, syrup, sugar and salt. Set aside until the butter is ready.
When the butter is brown turn off the heat and wait 1-2 minutes for it to cool down slightly.
Pour the butter into the dry ingredients through a mesh strainer.
Gently stir to combine.
When your cake/cupcakes are ready cool them until they are like 75% cooled down and then drizzle the icing over the top.

Enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee.

Palli Gosht (green beans and meat) comfort food at its finest. Growing up, I never understood why kids didn’t like green beans (or spinach) because I LOVED them.

Tell me in the comments what food you love that most people don’t.

You’ll need:
1 lb lamb cubes
3 tbsp oil
2 cups diced green beans
1 tsp salt
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp each turmeric and cumin powders
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup water

Turn your @instantpotofficial on sauté and wait until the screen says “hot”
Add your oil and onions, sauté for 2 minutes
Add your lamb and spices and sauté for another 3 minutes until well combined
Add water
Turn the instant pot off and cover it
Set to pressure mode for 17 minutes
Release the pressure, open the lid and pour in the green beans. Cover with the lid (machine off) for 5 minutes to soften the green beans.
Turn sauté mode on high
When the water is almost completely dried up, add the fenugreek leaves.
Sauté until the oil separates.

Serve hot with white rice and khatti daal.

This collaboration with @halalwinecellar to make Shrimp Puttanesca! This was yummy and spicy and just full of flavor!

You’ll need:
1 bag of shrimp (35-40)
2 tbsp of a neutral oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp + 1 tbsp red chili flakes
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp capers
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp black olives
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup halal Chardonnay
Dried parsley to sprinkle on

I hear up oil in my always pan (link in bio) and added the red chili flakes.
Toss in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same oil/released water, I added the remaining chili flakes, onions, garlic and salt.
Once the onions were soft, I added the capers, tomatoes, olives and wine.
Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce, then add the shrimp.
Sprinkle on parsley to taste.

Enjoy hot with noodles and a glass of @halalwinecellar wine!

Doing something a bit different this time! This is raw but marinated ground chicken. I use this same combination to make meatballs or kabobs for my kids and it just looked so beautiful I had to share

1 lb ground chicken
1 onion, diced
1 handful cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño (optional)
1 tsp each of salt, red chili powder and cumin
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp each turmeric powder and cumin
2 tbsp lemon juice

Mix it up really well and keep in your fridge until ready to use.
I often shape them and air fry on 400 for 10 min (more or less depending on preference or your air fryer)
