Wow Labibah.......this looks so yummy...I'm gonna try this tonite Insha'allah :happy:

But then.......I dont have enough people in my house to eat it.....:uhwhat

and I myself dont like sweets...

I guess I"ll just distribute it to the neighbours :giggling:

I'll post a pic insha'allah! ;)
 
Lol Mawaddah sis.. I'm practically drooling over your potato pic! I'm going to try that today inshaAllah :giggling:

BBL with another recipe inshaAllah..my own one :D
 
:sl:

In malay culture the old folks said that...if you eat too much of potatoes you will have big bum (i mean your behind)

:giggling:

it does fattening...but then why focus on one place :? ...hehe...sometimes old folks saying are too deep for me to understand.
 
:sl:
Mawaddah sis, I made the greek chips yesterday. They were really nice but I had to drain the olive oil and water mixture as the potatoes were literally swimming in it lol. The end result was fantastic though! :thumbs_up :statisfie


~ROAST CHOPS~ (own finger-licking recipe)

These are actually fried but I say roast as they do look roasted at the end.

part 1
3 lbs back chops (double chops are best)
2 white onions (chopped)
6-7 cloves
3-4 green cardimoms
3-4 cloves garlic
2 tsp salt
a big stick of cinnamon

part 2
3 red onions
half jar Plum chutney
1 tsp red chilli powder
salt
oil to fry (about a cup I think... if u feel it's not enough to coat meat, add more).
cumin seeds (generous handful)
pomegranate seeds (generous handful)
oregano - half tsp

Method

1) Wash meat and boil. Throw away water and add clean water.
Add everything in part 1 to the pan and boil until meat is tender. When done take out meat and throw away everything else or freeze for stock in other recipes.

2) Chop red onions in large pan and fry until browny soft. Add meat, stirring it occassionaly. Add extra salt if needed as most has gone is stock.

3) Add chilli powder, pomegranate seeds, cumin seeds, bit of oregano, and about 1/3 to 1/2 jar of plum chutney and keep stir-frying everything on low heat until onions have totally dissolved and meat appears fried.

4) Final taste of meat will be sweet, sour and spicy.

5) Serve with roast potatoes (recipe given earlier).

Pomegranate seeds are optional but they do add to the flavour. I think I added crushed coriander seeds but I'm having trouble remembering lol. Add a bit if you want to though.

Labibah I made your Chocolate Tunnel cake last night!! :happy: And my sister was taunting me all the way thru that it wouldn't taste good :rollseyes Because according to her, Chocolate cake is only made with cooking chocolate and not powdered cocoa :p
But I made it and Masha'allah the nuts made it taste really nice, but I ran out of icing sugar so I couldn't make the frosting :( but tonight I'll go out and get some and frost the cake then perhaps I can' snap a pic and post it up here :p


Muslimah_Sis..........I had modified the recipe a bit when I made those potatoes too......I forgot to mention :-[ because the original recipe has a bit too much liquid yes......I'm glad you liked it though!! :statisfie

I want to make that Roast Chop recipe......it's practically making me drool :D but I dont know where I can get plum chutney from? :(

me too and neither liking much eating of: but with sweets the sugar holds a shape so well and you can make the food so pretty:D

When I was little I was sssooooo disappointed that Easter eggs were hollow and one year I made my children some with halva yolk and marshmallow albumin and chocolate shell;D then it is fun even the repetitive tasks because only then can you perfect the appearance:happy:

And here's another potato recipe I love........I make this for comfort food :p

this I quote in sympathy the potatoe is most comforting but my du'a scares me off a bit (my Dad ate too many mashed potatoe sandwiches after dinner all through my childhood) (but even The Dajjal got a prob with over supply of potassium salts for the kidneys to process: dis the common health problem among Aussie believers: even immigrants)

Thanks for news about using pomegranite seeds. I once made a heap of pomegranite juice and the seeds had such a lovely texture and taste that I put them in the fridge awhile and even wanted to vacuum seal bottle them because I so hated throwing them out. They grind up frothy in the juice in one of those heavy duty juicers.

I kept the oregano in the post to tell it is not good for Fathers. The psycho-active properties of oregano run with a pattern of exposing too much knowledge for pleasure. That is OK if there is no genetic susceptiblity. (potassium overloads indicate)

By OK if no genetic susceptiblity I am meaning only that the psycho-active properties readily digest without certain health conditions present, or an overdose of oregano that prevents rapid enough passage through the full digestive process. I think it is a spleen thing.

Yay...glad it turned out wonderful and you prooved your sis wrong. ;)

Ohh...this thread is making me hungry. I gotta try some stuff from here. :-[
 
Labibah...............I made the frosting of the cake

And I'm afraid I ruined the cake :-[

I made it too watery!! :'(

I was in a rush so I didn't measure things properly I guess.....and I forgot to sift the sugar....so it really ruined the cake :(

I'm embarrassed to put a picture of it up here.......it looks hideous :-[
