Both the daal and stir-fry look good.

Thanks for the posting. :jz:

I've always wondered how authentic stir-fry is made. I've tried cooking Chinese food but can never get it to taste like they make it in the shops.
 
follow this recipe it is sooooooooo easy and tastes much better than resturants. I sent some to my sis and my brother in law asked which shop we got it from and he couldn't believe I made it.. I substituted the sherry for vintage balsamic vinegar. I stopped eating out because I was always getting sick even in the fanciest and most expensive restaurants walhi imagine spending $90 on a microscopic meals only to beg the cab driver on the way home to take you to the emergency room instead..
I just don't trust people or their hands even if they claim it is Halal.



not sure why this lady fried the veggies separately I do the veggies one shot.
You can of course use beef or shrimp .. but this by far was the best recipe out of all three I tried..
:w:
 
I just wanted to that that you can experiment with the daal and try different stuff. I've done mixed veggies and daal and even potatoes and daal and it came out pretty good.
 
Dinner today,"Smoked Beef" "Dhuaan Gosht" :D I made it a few days before and my mother loved it :statisfie Today,she asked me to prepare it again :D

When cooking daal, I find that if you add about a teaspoon of either ghee or butter just before you turn off the heat, makes it taste absolutely amazing.

Regarding using balsamic vinegar in sitr fries, I read somewhere it wasn't halal. Is this true?
I love stir fries, but I've never put vinegar in..
 
Jazakillah sis,
I was just getting slighlty confuzzled, as I had read in various sites that the use of balsamic vinegar was not permissible due to trace alcohol presence, but then other places state that it's not a majority haraam component, but then got the gist that it is halaal.
So yeah, very confuzzled.
Apparently it's tasty drizzled on pizza.
 
I use all kinds of vinegar to be quite honest not just balsamic but yeah it is awesome .. the more aged the better.. like cheese, and I have a maddening craving for cheese all the time.. I try to avoid certain foods anyway because I don't want to gain weight but certain items if I start eating them I'll never stop :p
 
I loves all kinds of cheese!
Camembert with cranberry, mozzarella, cheddar and these:

I have such a weakness for chocolate & cheese :( but I am trying to turn my body into a well oiled machine not gross with man muscles but in shape for an impending war against Muslims and once I start on either of those I can'T stop.. one night I kept saying one more just a little nibble more of this chocolate box I received as a gift and I finished the whole thing in one night =( all zillions calories of them lol
so I try not to buy things that I know I have an addiction to and I am certainly not appreciating you listing for me all the possibilities.. right now I just have this laughing cow at 35 calories a wedge and some aged cheese we call jubn rumi it has cracked peppers and I think I finished that in two days but keeping a couple more slices. It is hard aged cheese and probably one of my fav.. but to be honest I don't recall a cheese I didn't like except one which I have a feeling was the restaurant's fault and not the cheese itself..
 
^^LOL!
I always say I want to lose weight. Masha'allah I'm not overweight, I would just like to feel healthier, walking up 8 flights of stairs at work has me floored though!
Food is a weakness of mine and I know we should not be glutinous or overeat, but I loves my crisps (you'd call them chips I think) and my chocolate.
Have you ever tried eating chocolate, then chilli, then chocolate, then chilli then chocolate again? You can buy chilli chocolate, but I care not for them. I like them separate, much more yummo and crunchy.
Sorry for going on. :exhausted

I have tried that combo and I promise you every combo there is on earth sans the alcoholic ones I think my personal favorite is orange chocolate.. one time I was taking this 18 hour exam over two days and I had made me a thermos of coffee and brought those orange chocolate squares and I was having the most amazing moment on a most difficult day right there on the stairs.. :p
glad I did that for myself al7mdullilah...
I am looking at an emergency bar right now across from me but I'll have to refrain.
At any rate what's more important than not being overweight is being in good shape.. Yeah keep with the stairs in shaa Allah it is an excellent thing type of exercise.. and it is the one I do aside from swimming. Sometimes I take 5lbs weights with me and just do that too while climbing..
 
:salamext:

As stated earlier this week, I decided to try out sister Shadin's recommendation on the stir fry recipe from Youtube.

I'll let you judge for yourself...

Scene 1: A masterpiece in the making?

Scene 2: Out of the cooking pot and onto the plate

Scene 3: In the dining room ready to eat!

​




This little experiment was quite interesting.

As you can see it looks nowhere near as good as Shadin's. :ma:

I used chicken instead of sea-food which is why it looks slightly different.

But it's still the best tasting stir fry I've ever made to date. :alhamd: I think the vinegar definitely adds a special flavor to it. I've always been wary of using vinegar but after I read an opinion by an american Muslim food consumer group posted by sister harb recently, I decided to try it.

As far as looks go, I don't know where I went wrong. I did everything the same except use corn starch. Oh and I used apple vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar because I read somewhere on this thread on a post by sister Harb that balsamic vinegar is not halal.

Next time I'll try malt vinegar maybe?

It's just as well that men don't have to do the cooking when they get married or else it would be a complete disaster.

Anyway :jz: again for the recipe sis.

I'm having it right now!

That can be a fun activity to do together..
it is very good ma shaa Allah.. did you use soy sauce and oyster sauce? the corn starch is what thickens the sauces and brings out the rich full flavor. I don't think vinegar is Haram in general from what I read so long as it doesn't say wine on it, but Allah swt knows best it is indeed best to stay away from doubtful matters. But we have vinegars in all the Muslim countries I visited and think if none of them were compliant at least Saudi Arabia would be and I lived there for four years..

how did it taste by the way?

Sorry let me re-phrase that... I meant to say, It's just as well that men don't have to do all the cooking when they get married...

Of course, it can be a "fun" activity to do together, on the husband's days off.

I used soy sauce but no oyster sauce as I don't like it.

The only thing I didn't use was corn starch as I couldn't find it in the supermarket and those leeks. I just used half an onion. I'll have to look around for the starch in other supermarkets.

It was still really nice. The vinegar really added a nice kick to it.

Re: the vinegar. Of course I know that pure vinegar is halal. The problem I've always had is figuring out which vinegar is pure as there are so many. Anyway I think that opinion from the Muslim food consumer group fixed it :alhamd: and :jz: to sister Harb for posting it.

:jz: again for the recipe. Please do post any other good recipes you know of.

Baraka Allah feek.. believe it or not I am just learning myself.. I was lucky in grad school I had a roommate who was an excellent cook, she made me all sorts of Indian delights but I had heartburn often because she liked to spice everything up.
Whenever I find something exceptional I'll post it in shaa Allah..
I tend to make alot of pumpkin based recipes (which I don't think are popular outside the U.S and I like pastries and creme brulee so I concentrate on those unless it is a very easy meal to make. .. I don't do the stuff that my mom makes which takes all day, all those pressure cooker stuff. I can't be bothered and I don't like things that stew forever the flavors become muddled and I like things a bit on the raw side.

Next good recipe I'll share in shaa Allah..
I also make an excellent chicken pot pie but it is very fattening =( so that happens once a year hehe
