Hey brothers and sisters. I had this idea of starting a cookery club where we can swap recipes. It'd be sooooooo good cuz we're all from different parts of the world and we can share some of our fav dishes here. I know students living away from home miss home-made food. So why not try to make it yourself?!
I'm gonna start off with a really delicious and easy recipe. Anyone can make it. Don't let it put you off just cuz you've never even boiled an egg
I am only having to cook for myself these days, so it's all simple and quick to make food. That's when I had this idea. Brothers don't be put off by cooking. It's well worth the effort and if it makes you feel any better, just remember that the world's best chefs are men looooool
This recipe contains fishfingers. Don't let that put you off. wait till you taste it lol. My bro used to request me to make it for him when he was going out on day trips. So you can imagine it can't be as bad as the fishfingers make it sound.
Ok here goes...... (BTW, this is a snack, not a dish)
You will need: (for one person)
* 5 fish fingers
* half an onion thinly sliced
* 1 small tomato or half a large one finely chopped
* 3 table-spoons of cooking oil
* 1/4 teaspoon of chilli powder (or add to your taste)
* salt to taste
* pitta bread/bread/chapatti (heat last)
*frying pan (the best are the non-stick ones)
Method
* heat the oil in the pan and fry the fishfingers on one side and the onions on the other side.
* keep moving onions to prevent them from burning and when they turn brown, add the chopped tomatoes. Mix and allow to cook.
* check to see if fishfingers have browned and turn over.
Note: To check if fishfingers have cooked, break or lift the batter to see if fish is white. Raw fish will be a transparent colour. Cooked fish will be an opaque white.
* add the salt and chilli powder to the onion and tomotoes.
* once fish has cooked and tomatoes have melted. Using your spatula or blunt knife, cut each fishfinger into bite size pieces.
* Now mix everything in the pan together and cook for another min or two, on the lowest heat possible.
*while you wait, heat up the pitta bread, chapatti or whatever you will use.
Note: Do not heat bread.
*Allow the fishfinger filling to cool slightly cuz by now the smell will have made you hungry and you'll burn your mouth trying to eat it quickly lol.
Now just add the filling to your choice of bread and enjoy!
Some Tips
*If you like, you can put some salad in your bread or even add sweetcorn to the filling when cooking it.
* pitta bread can be warmed in a toaster.
* pitta bread is easier to handle when eating if cut in the middle to make two separate pockets, rather than the way they do it in take-aways.
We've all had our donners in pitta bread fall apart on us havent we? lol
I hope that looked easy. It really is If any brave sis or bro attempts this, let me know how it went lol. I've never tasted arabian, somalian, turkish or food from any other country for that matter, so I can't wait to see some of your recipes. LOl, I'm feeling so hungry now.
everyone should learn how to cook its a life skill, my sons aged 10 and 5 can make a meal between them, eldest makes a pasta sauce from scratch( passata and onions with basil) and cooks pasta, 5 yr old makes the salad, ripping up washed lettuces and mixing lemon juice and honey to make a dressing,
my husband is also a great cook Allhumdulilah though he rarely cooks as he doesnt get the chance,
you'll find most men can cook just fine if u let them in the kitchen!
Ok here's another one. I got the idea for it from the Italian dish paella.
Buttery Prawn Rice
It's soooooo easy and quick to make an tastes so creamy and buttery laying:
You will need:
* one large onion (finely chopped)
*ready to eat frozen prawns-as many as ur heart desires.
*1 cup rice (washed)
*1 small tin sweetcorn
*1/4 or more block of butter (you can use oil but won't taste the same)
* salt to taste
Method
Melt the butter in pan gently so it doesn't burn. Add onions and fry until golden brown. Add rice and stir for a min on gentle heat. Then add 3 cups of water and salt. Normally you add two cups of water per cup rice. But this tastes better if rice are soggier. Cook on low-medium heat until rice are nearly cooked. Add prawns and sweetcorn and cook for another 10 minutes.
Voila! There you have a fantastic dish ready in no time
cool jazakallah khair for this one sis it sounds delicious, I may try it inshaallah.
try this, my husband loves it
bubble and squeek
4 boiled potatoes
cooked cabbage
onion chopped
fry the onion slice the potatoes and mix with the cabbage add a little seasoning(black pepper) and fry it all slowly with the onion until crispy, serve with scrambled eggs, english people make it to use up left over vegetables from a roast dinner.
i remember back in school we used to have cooking lessons. one lesson i was with farhan and we had to make our own special scones which weren't plain. so the clever guys we were we came up with this fantastic idea to make pizza scones. so we both bought in different ingregients we wantd to add which you'd add to your pizza.
we ended up making one the best scones in the class, when i took some scones home for amee and everyone else to taste. it was so fantastic that my auntie who was down my house at the time had to come get the recipe the next day. How amazing is that.
allaaaaaaaaaahu akhbar
p.s they do say men are the best cooks

Oh defo smefo, you know that bruv. *sighs* Those were the days...
I’m not going to disagree but let me put it this way, When I was in school, the best male chef put 2 tubs of water instead of 2 tea spoon on the flour while making his scones and the teacher had to sieve out the ingredient.
As for recipes, alright let’s try sauce to go with pasta, no I’m not talking about runny watery tomato rubbish we used to get served in the canteen.
Ingredient: Can of chopped tomato,
Garlic clove
Dash of salt/or a teaspoon of Maggie
Chopped Onion
Oil
Mince meet
Note: ground the garlic and blend the tomato till there are no chunky bits.
Method: (full heat) Place some oil on the saucepan and allow it to boil, then add the chopped onions (how you chop it is up to you). Let the onion turn slightly golden, not burnt, add on the mince meet. After a minute or 2 add on the grounded garlic and the whole can of tomato, mix the mixture (for several minutes). Turn the heat down (half way of the full heat) and let it simmer. Then add on a dash of salt or Maggie, which ever one you prefer and place a lid on. Every 5 minutes just mix and make sure the mince meat is separated properly within the sauce. Keep on the heat for about 25 minutes, switch off and serve with pasta (but if you feel it is ready before that you may switch off and serve it).
anyone know how to make an easy cheesecake

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar

Alright if I remember correctly this is what you do.
Base: Get biscuits, plain biscuits and then crumble them with your hands in a bowl. Melt some margarine and add the margarine to the biscuit until the biscuit is able to stick together. Empty the bowl of crumbled biscuit and margarine onto a glass pan and spread it out as a base leaving room for the topping.
Topping: Wisk the double cream till it becomes hard then Get soft cheese (philadephia or something) and blend them together. Add sugar to the mixture and a tad bit of lemon juice (if you want other topping then you don’t need its juice). Blend all the ingredients together. You then take the mixture and spread it on the pan on top of the base. If you are doing lemon cheesecake add some lemon skin on top of the topping. If you want strawberry cheesecake add some sliced strawberry on top of the topping etc. Place it in the freeze until it becomes hard, get it out and serve.

Awww Umm sis I loved it when you said your sons help you out in the kitchen. That's so cute mashaAllah and they will be grateful to you for teaching them when they're older. My son begs to help me in the kitchen so I let him peel potatoes and garlic for me and he loves cracking eggs lol. One day he was annoying me so much so I said that's it, mummy is on a strike and won't be cooking dinner. Loooooool, the next thing I know he went downstairs, put some pasta in a bowl, flung it into the microwave and just walked back with like he'd been doing it since birth hahahaha he told me that he can get his own food loooooooool
But your recipes are torturing me lol. Earlier when I was reading this thread I got so hungry that I had to go and make something to eat lol.
Lool Sapphire sis was right abt the broz, but looks like they are happy with left-over pizza
