Passing Through This Life

so today my mil brought me some rishta and chicken , so that was dinner for tonight rishta and i done something extra cauliflower and cheese which i love it`s a piety i didnt have brown sauce to go on top .... i know not nice ... but to me it is ingredents i pack of rishta i chicken chickpeas onion courggets luft (white raddish) or you can use parsnip black pepper salt cinnamon method chop the onion small add chicken pieces and place in a pot with a little oil and cook for a few mins then add spices and chickpeas and place lid on leave fora few mins then add some water halve way through add veg  in the meantime prepare the rishta , this can be steamed the same way as cous cous it`s just cauliflower with a bachemal sauce and cheese of your choice , i can only really get cheddar here , their are other but i`m not a cheese person so i don`t bother and if my dh was here i would put some garlic in the bachemal as that is the only way my dh will eat cauliflower enjoy

so i have decide to try to increase my eman so what i`m doing is taking out my tafsir of the quran and started with surat al baqkarh and going slowly and as i go i will take notes just as i have decided to this my friend as if we can do it together and compare notes so masha`allah we will have a study sessions i`m really looking forward to that

so when i started this blog i wasnt sure if i would keep it up as i have never done anything like this before i wasnt even sure what i was going to put on it but when looking through things i realized that you are following it and i am so grateful for that so i would like to say thank you to you all and i hope that you will continue to follow my blog

so today i decided to try something different i have never cook this dish before but masha`allah it came out really nice and even i used fresh fennel and was able to hide the fact that it was their as my kids would never have eaten it ingredients chicken breast fennel spinach onion garlic black pepper cumin ginger salt rice method dice onion and chicken and place in a pot add a little oil and cook on a low heat then add the spinach and fennel that has been cut into strips and then the spices and cook for a few mins then add water or stock and cook on a medium heat when half cooked add rice and continue until rice is cooked and their is a little sauce then place on a big plate and let cool for a little while so that some of the sauce will be soaked up and eat with bread enjoy

it`s hard always trying to this of what to cook for dinner as you don`t want to always cook the same things so i took some chicken pieces out of the frezzer and thought what can i do with this , then i remembered i have some spinach so along time ago a friend of mine showed me a red sauce using the spinach so i though let me add the chicken and see how this works ingredients a few chicken pieces some spinach potatoes garlic black pepper cumin carwia salt method place chicken and garlic in a pot with a little oil and put on a low heat  cook for about 5 mins then add spices and cook for another few mins then add some water or chicken stock and let cook for a little while then add spinach and continue once everything is nearly cook add a little tomato puree and let the sauce reduce a little while all of this is cooking  fry up some chips and then add to sauce insha`allah you will enjoy this , my kids left nothing on the plate masha`allah

so lately we have been eating alot of rice at my dh rerquest and one of the things i have cook is a curry, chicken and green beans to be exact i normally put mushrooms and peppers , but one day i decided to try it this way and masha`allah it turned out nice as i used natural yougart to help with the cooking ingredients 2 chicken fillets 1/s kilo of green beans 3/4 pots of natural yougart black pepper cumin carwia coriander saffron tumeric ginger curry powder salt method place chicken and spices and yogurt in a bowl and leave for about a hour or more depends on yourself then after this time add to a pot and place on a medium heat once everything has loosened add you green beans and cook until everything is soft i sometimes add a little tomato puree and if i want the sauce thick i will add a little flour that i have mixed with a little water it as easy as that

so tomorrow is eid yeaaaahhhhh i`m not one for baking, and those that know me would tell you yes thats true, but this year alot has changed  and i started to bake some different types of cakes so i`ve been asked are you baking for eid and as usual my answer no , well that was until last night when i decided to give it ago so this morning off i went to the kitchen and started and by the time it was to break our fast i had finished masha`allah i didn`t makelot of different kinds as i don`t know that much, but as the years go on i will try to increase it so here is what i made and now in a while i will make a carrot cake and maybe something else , i will just have to wait and see
