    it makes about one big jar ... now it can look very yellowy until you add the vinegar and lemon and i forgot to ask it you find it thick just add a little water it will thin it out for you

    and no it doesnt taste eggy at all

    Assalamo alaikum,

    I once saw an Algerian sister making this, and I couldn't even bear to try it! Soooo much vegetable oil, then raw eggs. I could almost see the salmonella jumping out at me, lol! Yours does look very nice though mashaAllah, hers was yellow, she didn't put in any lemon juice.

    the lemon juice and vinegar is important and does change the colour

    and i agree about the amount of oil but think about it at least if you make it yourself you can see whats in it

    but bought ones how can you be sure... really

    if when i saw my bil`s wife making it i too had the same thought but i dont use as much as she did and she only used lemon juice as i said i too use vinegar

    and water to thin it out

    which in tail reduces the amount of oil

    jazak`allah khair for your input so nice of you to take the time to read my blog

Guest post From Halal Home Cooking ....Pancakes with a twist

As-Salaamu Alaykum I'm Umm Hamza from  Halal Home Cooking  today I'm sharing a recipe for a breakfast staple with a twist. Pancakes are my children's favourite breakfast food. They will gladly eat cereal with milk, creamy porridge and jam/jelly doughnuts but unlike those aforementioned staples that only get half to three quarters eaten because A. they turn soggy B. get's cold and sticky or c. no jam left, pancakes will  always  be eaten, no excuses. Once you've honed your basic pancake recipe you are free to experiment with flavour combinations and that's exactly how these chai spiced chocolate and tahini pancakes came about ma sha Allah Source :  http://www.drinkmechai.co.uk/chai/latte/spiced-chai-latte.html I found this chai spiced latte powder whilst searching 'halal' during my on-line grocery shopping. I'm always hoping when hitting that search button new products will pop up and this time it d

Pocasi/ split green pea soup

Asalamu alikum Well it sure has been a long time since i posted so i thought let me share this Pocasi recipe with you while i remember This soup is made from split green peas first i wash the peas and then add them to my pot (i used a pressure cooker) i added onion ... garlic..... i diced up carrots ...courgettes...and potato into  really small bits and added to the pot i also added black pepper....salt ...cumin...and razel hanut.... fill with water and placed lid on  and allowed to cook about 30 to 40 mins in total ... then let the pressure out and open then  stir.... if you need more water add and allow to cook towards the end add some tomato puree and allow to thicken up a little .... when i make this i do not use oil and i should say that this type of soup will continue to thicken and even the next day you will need to add more water to thin out ... but masha`allah is a really nice soup
