 Yemeni Mutton Haneeth




Yemeni Mutton Haneeth is a popular dish where lamb meat, preferably ribs cut/ shoulder cut is marinated in a blend of spices with butter and slow roasted until the meat is so tender that it falls off the bone. So the meat is usually cooked for many hours until tender. Since, we live a fast life, it's preferable to cook the meat using the pressure cooking method. But if you have the time, I would suggest to prepare the Haneeth using the slow cook method. The meat becomes so tender either way, that it just melts in the mouth. To give it extra texture, the cooked meat is then roasted in the oven, for the skin to develop a juicy crust.

Since the meat is rubbed with spice rub, you do not want the spice rub to come off completely whilst the meat cooks, so I use a rack/ trivet that helps the meat not to be completely in direct touch with the water, hence the masala stays intact and the meat gets cooked well and also the juices from the meat drops in the water which is used to cook the rice, this helps to make the rice extra flavorful.

Mutton Haneeth is something that I can't have enough of, my husband says that I have an extra tummy when we go and eat haneeth/ mandi from restaurants! xD I am that much of a fan of the flavorful Yemeni dish. I used Basmati Sella rice here, you may use the usual basmati rice too, but I fee texture and flavorwise, sella rice stands out in Haneeth. Let's make this scrumptious main course right away! Or at least it's Fridayyy tomorrow :D Without further ado, let's get started!



 Ingredients :

  • 1 kg Mutton ribs/ shoulder *
  • 50 gms Butter
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Paprika powder
  • 1 tsp Freshly crushed Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 2 tsp Arabic Spice powder (store bought), optional
  • 1 tsp Rock salt
  • 1 MAGGI Chicken cube (less salt)
  • 2 tbsp warm Water
  • 1 cup Water

For Rice:

  • 1/2 cup oil 
  • 2 tbsp Cashews
  • 2 tsp Raisins
  • 2 Onion, 1 sliced and 1 chopped
  • 3 cups Sella Basmati Rice
  • 2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seeds
  • 2-3 Bay leaves
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • 3-4 Cardamom pods
  • 4-5 Garlic, slightly pound  
  • 1 tsp Whole Peppercorns
  • 1 Dry Lemon
  • 1 Chicken Cube
  • 1/2 Capsicum, sliced
  • 4 1/2 Boiling water
  • 1/2 cup mutton broth 
  • Salt, as required
  • 3 whole Green Chillies, Large
  • A pinch of Saffron strands, soaked in warm water

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, blend all the spices, rock salt, chicken cube along with room temperature butter and warm water.

  2. Poke the mutton ribs using fork and rub the marinade well onto the ribs.
  3. In a pressure cooker, place a trivet or a stand that helps elevate the meat from the water.
  4. Place the marianted meat over the trivet and pour water and allow to pressure cook for 7-10 whistles depending on how tender the meat is, allow the pressure to release naturally.
  5. To make the rice, fry the sliced onions in the oil until golden and crisp, drain and set aside. 
  6. To the same oil, add in your cashews and raisins, drain and set aside.
  7. Now add the whole spices to the oil, along with lightly pound garlic, dry lemon, Maggi chicken cube and capsicum. Mix everything well and now add in the washed and drained rice.

  8. Check the mutton ribs, once the pressure is released naturalluy, set aside the broth water and roast the ribs in oven at 180 Deg C for around 10 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crisp.
  9. Pour water and the mutton broth water. Place lid and allow the water to evaporate.
  10. Open the lid, give the rice a good mix, place whole green chillies and pour the saffron soaked water. Close the lid and allow the rice to cook well on simmer for 20-25 minutes. *

  11. Check tenderness of the rice and transfer to a large platter and place the oven roasted mutton ribs and sprinkle the crispy Fried onion, raisins and cashews.
  12. Serve Haneeth piping hot, super tender ribs with Shatta** (tomato chutney).


** Shatta recipe - Blend tomato, green chilli, salt, paprika powder and set aside. 
Prepare the Shatta early, as the blending makes teh tomato chutney frothy, so when done eariler, helps the bubbles and foam to settle on its own. 
 

Notes:

  • You may soak the sella basmati rice, but it is not necessary .
  • Rock salt is preferred to use when marinating in the spice rub, as rock salt helps to marinate the meat thoroughly, (I did not keep the marinated meat overnight or even a few hours, yet the meat was perfectly marinated)
  • Do not open lid in between the cooking process, allow the heat to cook the rice really well. 
  • *I used mutton racks in this, you may choose any cut that is tender. 
  • Please note that different brand rice require differ amounts of water, but to stay on the safer side I take the ratio 1: 1 1/2 ratio for rice and water respectively and add an extra 1/2 cup water, and the additional broth water makes it perfect.
  • You may smoke the rice by adding a hot piece of charcoal and pouring oil over it in a small disposable aluminum/ steel container and closing the lid. But I prefer otherwise, without doing this step, as I feel the flavors feel very artificial whenever I smoke the rice and gives me a very bad headache, so you may do it if you like smoking the rice 👍🏼

Ps: This may not be the authentic recipe, but it definitely is the best!

Cheesy Murtabak with Chilli Mayo dip




Day 7 of Ramadan already? Where did the first 6 go? Jokes apart, time is ticking away and we need to utilize our valuable time to the maximum for Ibadah etc. Keep your tongue moist with zikr and adhkars. Also doing your chores, cooking food and being of some help to the family are also considered Ibadah and rewarded in the holy month. Just don't be extreme. Moderation is the key.

I have been asked to share oil free iftar dishes and I have come up with Cheesy Murtabak in my style. It is also called Muthabaq. Oh boy is it yummm?! 

Murtabak or mutabbaq is a stuffed Paratha with your favorite fillings like spicy minced meat and for that extra cheesiness I have added a ton load of cheese 🤪 (you know you can never go wrong with cheese). The classic, Saudi style matabak consists of green onions and leeks. But I kept it very simple. Just eggs and cheese with the spicy minced meat. And instead of adding in chopped onion, I have simply substituted by adding in some onion powder. 



It is a street food specialty especially seen in Saudi, Kuwait, Malaysia etc. Mini pockets  of these non fried Paratha are the best snack for iftar, coz these use little to no oil.
Now I won't call it healthy but definitely a step towards healthy eating for iftar. These little pockets are so delicious and filling. The chilli Mayo dip adds on to its yumminess, and a karak chai! Aaaaah, definition of bliss... Sooo soooo good. I cannot stress enough!

Here I have used meat mince, you may use chicken Mince also if you like, but traditionally mince meat is used for Murtabak. 

Let's get on to the ingredients to prepare this easy and delicious iftar dish. 



Ingredients :

Dough:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1/2 cup water 
  • Salt, as required 

Filling :

  • 300 grams minced meat
  • 3 small green chillies, chopped
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp red Chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper po]]] wder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 2 tsp paprika powder*
  • 1/2 of a tomato* (chopped fine) 
  • 3 tbsp Cream cheese 
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, as required 

Instructions :

  1. Mix all the ingredients under dough by adding water little at a time, the dough should not be sticky, yet soft. Pour some oil over the dough ball, cover with a plastic wrap and to set for around 1 hour. 
  2. In a cast iron pan or any heavy bottom pan, pour a dash of olive oil add in your minced meat with a pinch of salt and break the minced meat using a wooden spoon.
  3. Once the color of the minced meat changes from red to brown, add in your garlic paste.
  4. Allow to cook for a couple of minutes, at this stage it is normal to see a lot of water ooze out of the meat.
  5. Next add in your chopped green chillies and sauté.
  6. Now add in your spices like onion powder, paprika powder, red chilli flakes, pepper powder, and cumin powder.  


  7. Allow your filling to cool, whilst at that in a bowl Crack 2 eggs, Mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. 




  8. Next dump in all the contents of the filling to the bowl with eggs and cheese. 


  9. Add a tad bit of salt if required. 
  10. Make lemon sized small balls out if the dough. 
  11. Pour some oil in your Countertop and press and spread using your fingers and a rolling pin until it is very thin and see through. 
  12. Add 2 tbsp of the prepared filling and fold overlapping inner sides and outer sides. 

  13. Place the murtabaq on a pan with med high heat pan, seam side down, flip and cook 2 minutes each side or  until a sizzle starts coming, this indicates that the murtabaq is done. Using thongs, cook the sides of the murtabaq too (which only takes seconds). 
  14. Serve with your choice of sauce/dip or serve it just like that right away! *



Note:

  • You may substitute paprika with Kashmiri Red Chilli powder if you cannot find paprika.
  • You may use more tomato if you like. Or you may also add it after the meat cooking process.
  • I made a chilli Mayo dip, prepared by mixing hot sauce, Mayo and garlic powder.

Sindhi Biryani



Good evening folks!

Who doesn't love biryani yea? I love our classic Thalassery Biryani the most, but once in a while, a change could do. Ever wondered that no matter how detailed of a recipe of a biryani is given to a person, no one comes up with the same flavors. Almost every biryani made by each one of us has a different taste to it, even if it's the same recipe. This is because everyone prepares biryani with so much love and care. 

For us every Friday it is Biryani day in here. So how about we try a different type of biryani this week that consists of meat, rice and potatoes with a special spice blend that goes into the making of the dish. Yes, you guessed it right! It's Pakistan's most beloved Sindhi Biryani. 



Sindhi biryani originates from the Sindh Province of Pakistan, it is known to be the most popular biryani in Pakistan. The main ingredients that makes this biryani stand out is the use of dried plums or prunes and potatoes. 

It is a very delicious biryani that can be prepared with chicken or meat. It is said that the Persian Travellers passed on their recipe, and the chefs took over and added their authentic flavors to it. And that pretty much sums up how this aromatic and indulgent Sindhi Biryani was born. What makes the Sindhi biryani distinct is also the fact that the biryani masala is cooked in caramelized onion. 


Ingredients :

Sindhi Biryani Spice Mix from scratch :

  • 1 tbsp Kashmiri Red Chilli powder 
  • 1/2 tbsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 10 pcs whole Black Pepper
  • 5 pcs Cloves
  • 2 black cardamom (optional) 
  • 4 dried Bay leaves
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon 
  • 3 pcs Green Cardamom
  • 2 pcs Star Anise (optional) 
  • Salt, as required 
  • Sugar, a pinch

Masala:

  • 3 cups Basmati rice, soaked for half an hour and drained
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 cloves 
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 500 gms Fresh Chicken/Meat
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp Ghee
  • 3 large onions, sliced
  • 2 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste 
  • 5 Green Chillies, slit
  • 1 large Tomato, chopped
  • 4 pcs prunes or dried plum
  • 4 tbsp Curd, whipped
  • 3 tbsp Prepared spice mix
  • Handful of Coriander and Mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 large Potato, peeled and cut into cubes. 
  • 2 strands of saffron soaked in warm milk


Instructions:

  1. Grind all of the spices mentioned above to make sindhi biryani spice mix . 
  2. Into a pressure cooker pour in your oil and /ghee and Sautee your onions until caramelized and not burnt. 
  3. Next add in your ginger garlic paste. 
  4. Drop in your cleaned and drained chicken/ meat which has been marinated in salt and allow to fry for around 10 minutes. 
  5. Next add in your tomatoes, green chillies and your chopped herbs*. Sautee well and finally add in your cubes of potatoes. 
  6. Next add in your prunes and curd.
  7. Add in your spice powder mix and salt as required. 
  8. Cook the chicken with 2 cups of water with a closed lid without the weight of the pressure cooker for 5 minutes and you are done. *
  9. While the chicken gets done, let's prepare the rice. Into a large non stick pot add in your rice, water, spices and 1 tsp cooking oil and switch on your flame. *Click here to know the cooking instructions for the perfect, fluffy Basmati rice. Switch off the flame once it is 80% done,open lid and fluff up the rice. 
  10. If the chicken masala has too much gravy, remove the chicken pcs and allow to reduce by boiling on high and stirring occasionally. 

  11. Next, put the biryani on Dum by putting the first layer as the chicken masala and then top it with the 80% cooked rice and smoothen lightly. 
  12. Gently sprinkle your saffron milk and allow to stay on dum for at least 10 minutes on simmer.
  13. Slowly fluff up and toss your rice, very gently. Keep in mind not to over do this just a couple of times. You don't want mushy rice. 
  14. Finally garnish with fried onions, cashews and chopped Coriander leaves. 
  15. Serve hot with raita. 



Notes:

  • If using other meat like mutton or beef cook for around 6-7 whistles depending on the tenderness of the meat. 
  • Authentically, You may add your tomatoes, green chillies and Coriander leaves in the dum process after the layer of the masala. 
  • If using meat, do not add the potatoes along with the meat as meat needs more time to cook compared to chicken, and the potatoes in turn can become super mushy. You may boil the potatoes separately and add too.

 Meat Sauce Spaghetti AKA Spaghetti Bolognese
 


I love quick dinners and this is one recipe that I tend to make quite often, whenever I get minced meat. And I also like to make this Shepherd's pie and this Rigatoni Bolognese. Bolognese Sauce is basically a meat based tomato sauce using slow cooking method. It is super easy, yet very versatile. You may add veggies of your choice like carrots, celery, mushrooms etc for that extra boost of nutritional values. Spaghetti Bolognese is super easy to prepare, you only need to prep some chopped onions and garlic and you are good to go.

If you do not like too much tanginess, you may use cream cheese and tomato ketchup to balance the flavors. This pasta recipe comes together quickly, makes the perfect lunch/dinner. I have not used milk here, though you may use it to make it even creamier. Also if you have parmesan cheese, you may use it for garnishing, I ran out of it! (always has to happen only when I plan to document the recipe) 🙇 

 Anywhoo, let's get started!




Ingredients :

  • 1 pack Spaghetti 
  • 2 Onions, finely chopped
  • 4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Salt, as required 
  • 500 gms  minced meat
  • 1 tsp freshly crushed Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 3/4 Cup Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Reserved Pasta Stock Water
  •  2 tbsp Cream Cheese (Optional)
  • 1 Chicken Stock Cube
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  • Parmesan Cheese and chopped Parsley Leaves, for garnishing

 

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, pour olive oil and add in the butter.
  2. Next, add in the chopped onion and allow to cook until translucent.
  3. Next add in finely chopped garlic and salt, as required.
  4. Drop in the minced meat and add your seasonings like salt and freshly crushed black pepper.
  5. Break the meat using your wooden ladle.
  6. Next add in red chilli flakes, oregano, cumin powder and tomato paste and mix well. Close the lid and allow to cook for at least 15 minutes on low.
  7. In a large pot, Cook the Spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions.
  8. Next, add in cream cheese (optional), Maggi chicken cube and tomato ketchup (optional). Combine well, make sure the stock cube has dissolved into the sauce.
  9. Next add in your reserved stock water to make it even saucier.
  10. Finally add in your cooked Spaghetti and check for salt. Give a final mix and serve into a deep plate, sprinkle chopped parsley and garnish with Parmesan Cheese. Serve hot.


Notes:

You may add vegetables of your choice like carrots, celery, mushrooms etc.before adding the minced meat.

I used cream cheese, so that much quantity of tomato paste gets diluted, if you aren’t using any diary products, I would recommend to use lesser quantity of tomato paste depending on the quantity of pasta/ spaghetti you are preparing.

Succulent Shepherd's Pie



Ever heard of food made out of waste? Yes, you read that right! I am sure most of you are aware of this delicious dish that has its origin from Britain. But have you ever thought how this delicious dish got its name?

This was a dish prepared quite often by the shepherds or their wives for dinner using leftover food, as mashed potatoes were a staple and often wasted by the husbands and children of the family, the wives came up with this solution. How wonderful of an idea to not waste it and come up with a dish that is now a favorite worldwide and loved!

Shepherd's pie as the name suggests is a pie that was invented by Shepherd's in Britain in 1700's and later it was introduced in Ireland and other countries like France and India also adopted the dish too. In short, this is a dish that is equally loved among people all over the world, in different names.

The dish consists of two layers and occasionally three layers. The pie is usually prepared in a dutch oven or an ovenproof casserole dish, with the first layer consisting of minced lamb that is cooked with chopped onion, garlic and other spices with a dash of tomato paste and the base is thickened using a sprinkle of flour to bring the meat pie together and the second layer consists of a mashed potato layer, that is baked until golden and crisp. This dish is so comforting and flavorful. It keeps you full at the same time, it is super delicious. The same dish is also called cottage pie when the minced meat is that of beef. 

There are many variations of Shepherd's pie with different flavorings to suit one's taste buds. Another variation is also made in vegetarian using lentils and other pulses along with sweet potato that I had once come across that is of Jamie Oliver's recipe.

I had Shepherd's pie from a restaurant first time in my life, and then and there I knew I had to remake this at home and Oh boy does everyone love it here? It just vanishes in no time. Whenever I prepare this, I actually feel the warmth and love that the shepherd's wives put into the making of this dish. If you ask me why I love to make this dish? I prepare the meat base in my dutch oven that is oven proof and simply add on the mashed potatoes, so easy to prepare and fewer dishes to wash, also the oven does the rest of the work for you! Shepherd's pie done, in no time at all!


It isn't necessarily the same ingredients and the same flavor, it varies from houses to houses. So like I always say, I don't follow a particular recipe and this recipe is my own with adaptations from the authentic ones that I could find. Make yourself feel good by making some for your family and let me know how you liked it! Let's move on to the ingredients:

Turkish Pide



Turkish Pide resembles pizza just like the name suggests. It is one of the most popular foods in Turkey. A flatbread that is boat-shaped consists of meat toppings (minced meat etc), chopped veggies which includes onion, tomatoes etc herbs such as parsley and spices along with some cheese or egg mixture which is completely optional; it is what Turkish Pide comprises. The flatbread is similar to pita bread or the Italian pizza crust. It is known as their fast food that is "slow-cooked". Lahmacun is another dish that is similar to the Turkish Pide. Turkish Pide is made into a boat shape/oval flatbread whereas lahmacun is round in shape made of thin dough topped with minced meat and vegetables. Another name for Turkish Pide is Kiymali Pide.

The flavor-packed Turkish pide is much thicker and they are served in slices. Some people like to bake the pide with raw meat filling, but I like to cook my filling first to be on the safer side and then top it up with the filling. Cooking the meat mince first with the other ingredients like the veggies, spices and herbs helps the flavors to combine well so, we can make sure if the filling is well seasoned/cooked etc.

If you are somone like me who loves simple and easy recipes for lunch/dinner then thi sis defineely one recipe you got to try! The steps seem very intricate and the dish itself looks very sophisticating but I guarantee you one you are done you are going to feel it was so easy and so much FUN to make it! I myslef when I tried it for the first time I was surprised that it was done effortlessly rather I enjoy making it! If you have a kid grab him/her along to bake these 'Pides'. Ask them to help to make the boat shape or maybe to brush some egg wash on already prepared 'Pide'. I bet they are going to love it; not only to bake them but to gorge into them too. This Turkish Pide recipe is BOMB.


I hope you enjoy recreating this Turkish speciality with your loved ones!

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt and make a well in the middle and pour in the olive oil and the yeast mixture.
  3. Pour in the remaining ½ cup water and combine to bring the dough from the sides of the bowl and scrape the dough from the bowl completely onto a clean countertop and knead well using your hands.
  4. Work the dough for 3-5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. The more you work with the dough it might start to get sticky, add in a couple of tbsps of flour and olive oil to hep shape into a soft dough.
  5. Transfer the dough into the large bowl and cover the bowl with a cling film and set aside for 1 hour until it doubles in size.



  6. While the dough rises the filling can be prepared.
  7. In a heavy large pan add a tbsp of butter and pour in some olive oil, once the butter is melted, add the chopped onions and saute well.
  8. Season with some salt for the onions to cook faster.
  9. Next, add the minced garlic and saute well until fragrant.
  10. Now add in your veggies - carrot, capsicum, tomatoes and cook well in medium flame.


  11. Now season with salt and pepper and spices like paprika, cajun/oregano etc and squeeze in a tbsp of lemon juice.
  12. Once the veggies are done add in some tomato paste which is optional so that it makes the filling look more colorful. 
  13. Add in the minced meat and salt and pepper as required.
  14. Cook until the meat renders some water and the water is reduced. Add in some chili flakes for some fire.
  15. Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C
  16. Now take the risen dough and place it on a lightly floured countertop and knead for a minute and divide the dough into 4 equal portions.

  17. Next, roll the dough balls into 4 boat shape/oval shape and transfer the rolled dough into a baking tray lined with baking paper sprinkled with some semolina which helps in even baking.

  18. Now place and spread the filling leaving the edges with no filling about 2 cm border. (Please see images for better understanding)



  19. Fold the edges to act as a barrier so that the filling stays intact. Press the dough at the 2 ends of the oval shape to form a pointy boat shape.
  20. Beat an egg in a small bowl with some olive oil and brush the dough with the mixture using a pastry brush.
  21. Bake the Pide for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden.




Notes:
It is easier to fill the flatbread with the topping while the flatbread is placed on the baking tray.
