chilli sweet potato fries
If you're after a party in your mouth, then this is the recipe you're after. It's packed with flavour, fried nutrition (:P), and loaded with texture to kick-start the best flavourful experience you'll ever have. I'll make an outright confession here: these aren't as healthy as Rufus' baked sweet potato fries, but they're fries, so I'll fry … Continue reading chilli sweet potato fries
spiral curry puffs
I wonder if anyone is finding today a particularly weird day. Because it's the 29th of Feb. Since I don't know if I'll be here or alive after 4 years from now, I thought I'll put up a recipe for the occasion. A while back I tried a recipe for 2-toned curry puffs I saw on Tes … Continue reading spiral curry puffs
Syrian lentil soup
I've been so brain dead for the past few days. Like in the same way society scrutinises blondes for being dumb. Only tenfold worse. You see..... I've been aiming to get my driver's license since August last year... I did a practical driving test on the 23rd Aug 2011... and after passing all the exam … Continue reading Syrian lentil soup
fatayer bil jibneh recipe
Fatayer… I can’t explain to you how much I love this fat-full, carb-full, little delight. Back home in Syria, on the days you feel like it, you wake up, wash up, wear your clothes and head down to the “bakery” and order x-amount of pieces of “fatayer”. The whole ritual is so appeasing; the crispy fresh … Continue reading fatayer bil jibneh recipe
vermicelli sushi
Ehm. Just thought I'll make a little announcement that YES, I'm still alive 😉 You may have caught me at your blog commenting on your amazing posts, but I've been so busy since last Monday, I think I missed all the online fun. Well, my blog did anyway 🙂 I've had family come up … Continue reading vermicelli sushi
Syrian shish kabaab
I made these kabaabs by chance when abati said "what's for lunch?", and I said "we have left over rice, and I'm making salad".... You know, rice and salad for lunch doesn't make sense all that much for a Syrian. So he said, why not make some kabaab?! As he fired up the coals, I … Continue reading Syrian shish kabaab
Syrian style moussaka
Musaqa'ah literally means "cold". Of the very cold cold. But the tanginess, and let me tell you it's served piping hot from the pot, is everything but musaqa'. If you're having trouble reading this word, click on the link above, and click on the little speaker sign in Google Translate to hear it 🙂 This dish … Continue reading Syrian style moussaka
zesty za’tar potatoes
I came home from uni a couple of weeks ago, and found a plate of gorgeous looking potatoes sitting there waiting for me! 😀 I asked who'd made them, and how, but I was answered with a question. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to guess everything in this recipe card, but that didn't matter, because I … Continue reading zesty za’tar potatoes
