Breakfast diaries - Yum Yum Old-Fashioned Doughnuts

 

This and chicken bread was our conclusion for our sunday breakfast. The husband and I have had several weeks of relentless work and entertainment. So it was with much joy that we had a slowdown weekend. Golden hour: The bright sun woke us early, we headed to brisk walking following with our yoga regime. Hashim craved for little cookie or a moderate piece of donut so I went straight to my kitchen and prepared these chocolate glazed donuts after all what counts is how you start your day.  It is one of Hashimz favorites, consistently delicious with excellent services *ofcourse. It is very simple to make and delicious way to start your day. The lamination on it is a pure art and we washed it down with latte which made it more alive and of course our last episode of Supernatural. We have held this season for so long, mainly because we didn’t wanted to be a part of the show’s shutter down. Throughout the episode, I was wondering where did the dog go! Also the finale was very much truncated without the existence of Crawly and his epic dialogue – “Hello Boys”, wherein the boys had a terrific ending. Despite all of this, GoT last scene similar iteration made easy for us to get the hang of the loose ends.

Arabic Coffee

When it comes to tea or coffee, I usually turn my side towards nice cuppa milky ginger tea. But, due to my unfriendly relation with milk, many a time I have to put a brake and decide on watery options like black tea or black coffee. Black tea doesn't add excitement to my morning routine, although I am a tea person, tea without milk is just like experiencing winter without snowflakes.

Potatoes Stuffed Flatbread / Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha with Mint + Yogurt Dip

Parathas are basically an Indian version of flatbread made from wheat flour or all purpose flour. Kneading the flour with water and ghee brings out the final output into silky finish, smooth touch and soft texture. In Indian houses, flatbreads are regularly eaten with any vegetable or chicken curry, due to which it becomes necessary to revamp the normal food recipes into something delightful, good looking and awesome in order to uphold the charm of food appearance on the table.

Semolina Upma

This is my another semolina recipe, previously, I had shared the recipe of Semolina pancake means uttapam! Upma is the quick and easy peasy recipe on my blog, so far. As it is said, don't judge a book by its cover, I think, the same goes with food! So please don't make that awful face by just looking at the color of the food. I think all food that has a tint of white always taste better than the spicy red or appealing yellow one's. If I can name a few, take it simple vegetable or chicken pulav, white chicken kadhai, idlis, dosa's, white dhokla's or some non-desi food like Chinese fried rice and noodles, creamy white sauce-pasta, mashed potatoes, and so many more! See, hence proved!

That Instant Dhokla

Served With Healthy Sambhar And Coconut Based Chutney

If you’re Gujju then you know what I’m talking about. If you’re not!! Welcome to my another post recipe that will surely blow your mind. What is dhokla?? No need to stress yourself, it’s not at all an IIM based interview question LOL Well! Don't get confused because of its heavily melodramatic name, dhokla is just another easy-to-go dish of Gujju community like other edibles such as khandvi, handvo (recipe already shared) but not at all Khakra! All the names sound like something powerful and dangerous, but believe me the look and feel is other way round. Coming back to the topic, what is dhokla?? Let’s have a sneak peek!! Dhokla comes in different colors and shapes namely, khaman dhokla, White dhokla, sandwich dhokla and what not! Some are famed for its protein rich factor, a few because of its flamboyant garnishing style, some of its healthy added elements and some because of its instant cooking modus operandi.

Classic Cinnamon Rolls - Mouth Watering Recipe and more !!

Karachi has stretched its new sectors, from china port to outwards towards the charna island. I feel the change palpably on couple of annual visits. There is a new network of roads, a proliferation of malls too. What I love about the city is the call of variety of food not restricted only towards Pakistani and Indian food but at my surprise I cram my trip with list of cuisines. December is a lovely time to visit, but I prefer warm days coaxing flowers to bloom, trumpet flowers hung heavy with their fragrance, in my father in-laws garden, we had many cups of afternoon tea and late lunches in the garden. How can I forget that mama in-law made her signature biryani of chicken along with fruit custard and of course sight seeing, the latter often makes me feel like a tourist.

Hashim and I woke up early on Sunday to drive to the mall of Karachi. We had wanted to take pictures of the ancient buildings and museums. Karachi malls are the namesake of the mall in Dubai, it has existed because of the impressive and stunning architectural talent in the locals of Pashtun laborer, worth exploring to witness a piece of dubai. We ended our morning excursion on a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, chocochip waffles and frappuccino (Clifton city). The place we picked was tranquil and capacious, cinnabon rolls came out in a tray of their own in a steady rhythm. They were surprisingly good in a way soft bread rolled in flavors with delicate frosting all over the top, nothing can smell as good as freshly baked cinnabon rolls. If I am given an option to select the soft rolls or Hermes bag, I would choose these rolls! we were addicted to it, afterwards we had inviting waffles and came along candy ice cream!

Soupy Maggie Noodles

Tried and nibbled Maggie noodles from the divergent belt of mores, but none can beat the taste maker of Indian Maggie noodles. Kick of sour tang, punch of spicy flavor is what always let me down in noodles resulting in disillusion of choices, maybe this is the reason why my hands are always on the Indian masala Maggie noodles considering its minimal taste in spices and perfect makings of noodles with any blends of veggies. I usually love the cotton soft and gentle spirals that melts quickly in my mouth, curls with amazing mild piquancy, savoriness and loving taste of garlic and flavorsome cilantro balances well with sliced onions and other set of refreshing veggies of course.

Virgin Pina Colada

The first working day of February asked for comfort, I can’t get over with the patch of morning blues, these are the days when I behest to pamper myself. What can be easier on the eye than a rousing and inviting fruit mocktail, I love the charm of pastel and soft hued shades, which is why this mocktail tries to enthrall my attention urging me to make it again and again. The refreshing flavor of pineapple coalesces quickly with the mild and sweet taste of coconut butter. As it's saccharine with a pronounced pineapple flavor, you can add milk cream to balance the sweetness, there is a fragrance of strained pineapple and coconut cream, because who doesn’t love a little luxury?

Itsy bitsy goodies in a form of breakfast have always pushed me to rise up early during my sluggish and dull days, Hashim would happily make pina colada and I would be busy plating slices of avocados, sourdough and scrambled egg, perfect kick start of our day. As it is said, happy life comes from happy tummy! And we love to dig our forks into an amazing piece of nature! Pina colada has been a staple drink of Spain and has always given its frequent appearance at tiki lounges, but now this yummilicious drink is giving a regular visit especially when we don’t have a time for breakfast! As pineapples are rich in enzymes, which is great for the digestive system as well as it is the best source of vitamin C, knowing the facts we love to sip this drink more often.

Vegan Pina Colada

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 3 persons

Ingredients:

1 cup pineapple juice

½ cup pineapple slices, I have used the canned one’s

2-3 tablespoons coconut cream

1 tablespoon milk cream

Sugar as required

Crushed Ice as required

Method:

• In a blender, add 3 tablespoons coconut cream and 1 tablespoon milk cream, blend until smooth.
• Now add white rum to the blender, but I always make virgin pina colada by skipping this step. You can also add vanilla ice cream for a twist in flavor.
• Add ½ cup pineapple slices, 1 cup pineapple juice, and sugar in a blender. Blend it well so that pina colada turns into a smooth, soft & creamy mocktail drink.
• Adjust the consistency and taste by adding milk cream and pineapple slices. Before pouring the drink decorate the rim of the glass by simply rotating the rim of your glass in sugar syrup or honey until the rim is evenly wetted, later press the rim gently in the plate of fresh coconut flakes, Easy!
• Pour it into a glass, sprinkle coconut flakes and garnish this delicious drink with crushed ice, pineapple or strawberry slices.

Who said Pina colada cannot be a non-alcoholic drink? Leave the rum out if you’re making this for the little ones as the points remain the same with or without. The main ingredient for making pina colada mocktail is coconut milk or cream. If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, then this one is definitely must try for you. Whisk yourself away to a balmy tropical island for a few heavenly moments.
