CHOTPOTI FUCHKA PANI PURI Yay, after like forever

CHOTPOTI FUCHKA PANI PURI

Yay, after like forever I managed to record how I learnt to eat and make chotpoti!

I have an amazing cheffy friend from Dhaka and I’ve learnt lots of food recipes! We share food every single week and this is one of my favourites when she makes it for me.

She’s been really kind enough to share her recipe so I hope you make it and enjoy it as much as I do.

Just to note, chotpoti is a classic Bangladeshi street food snack and she loves to fill up Pani puri shells with it, otherwise you can just have it on its own like you would do chaat.

Here’s what you will need:

For the chotpoti:
🌿one pack bengal gram
🌿3 potatoes cubed
🌿1TBSP salt
🌿 x1 radhuni chotpoti spice mix

For the Pani puri sauce:
🌿100g natco fry tamarind
🌿300ml boiling water
🌿6 garlics
🌿6 green chillis
🌿bunch of coriander
🌿pinch of salt

For the salad extras:
🌿2 chopped tomatoes
🌿1/2 chopped peeled cucumber
🌿1 chopped red onion
🌿bunch coriander
🌿green chillis

🌿Pani puri shells
🌿deep fry or rub with oil in air fryer 2 mins

Please note if you don’t have a pressure cooker , u can book the bengal gram like you would do lentils with a pinch of bicarbonate soda.

Enjoy 🥰

KEEMA CURRY ✨ Let’s step to the good part ⬇

KEEMA CURRY ✨

Let’s step to the good part ⬇️

🌿 1/3 cup oil
🌿cinnamon stick, bay leaves, black peppercorns. Green and black cardamom, star anise
🌿3 large chopped onions
🌿2tbsp garlic
🌿1tbsp ginger
🌿2.5tsp salt
🌿1 large vine tomato chopped
🌿250ml hot water
🌿1kg mutton or lamb mince
🌿50g hungry spice mix available www.hungryhijabi.co.uk
🌿1cup water
🌿fried potato cubes
🌿1/4 cup peas
🌿 fresh coriander and green chillis
🌿1tsp sprinkle dust available www.hungryhijabi.co.uk
🌿 1/4tsp naga paste or pickle

1 | In a large cooking pot add oil. I know it’s a lot but let me tell you that a fabulous curry needs a lot of oil so the spices can blend and cook nicely in it.

2 | To this hot oil, add whole spices, temper and then add onions. Brown them until golden. Add ginger garlic, salt and tomato.

3 | Add in the keema. I use mutton mince. Cook and stir continuously untill brown. Add water. Cook 30 mins.

4 | Add hungry spice mix. Cook for 5 mins.

5 | Once the oil separates add chillis, fried potatoes and simmer for 15 mins.

6 | should leave you with a gorgeous colour, aroma and taste. Garnish with fresh coriander. Sprinkle with sprinkle dust, stir in peas.

7 | Add naga paste and enjoy hot with fresh white basmati rice 👌

Whilst u are ordering the Hungry Spice Mix varieties online, why not also grab the cookbook!

I just want good days. But I know I have to pay a

I just want good days.
But I know I have to pay a price for that.
Imagine if we just had only good days?
How would we appreciate them without the bad days…?

When my husband lost his mum eight years ago, he asked me if it ever gets easy? Will it get easy? I didn’t really know what to say except “I don’t know I haven’t lost anyone before…” but I did know the answer…. I lost everyone, when I left everyone and the answer was no…

People say with time pain gets easier,
But the truth is you just carry the pain with you for longer.

You don’t forget anything.
You remember everything.

There are days where I just want to do nothing and that even includes thinking.
But the reality is when you do nothing,
You think of everything 😩

So the best way to move on is simply get yourself preoccupied with the things you like to do best with the people you like to be around.

Quite often i feel like I’m a burden to those around me but you know what they say a problem shared is a burden halved. But life is so busy now who ever has the time to listen to anyone…?

I recently discovered that many people get throat cancer because of bottling up their feelings and it just goes to show how much stress and not having anyone around you as a coping mechanism can really mess you up, in many cases finish you off…

I also read recently that despite an increasing culture of sharing personal information through social networks and online gossip, when it comes to more serious issues we all bottle up our problems and worries. Sometimes we create the problems in our own minds by overthinking 😩

With everything that’s going on around us and how everyone’s being cut off from each other I’m beginning to see a sharp rise in people struggling that it makes my own problems seem small. I worry about the children. I want them to be able to always communicate their feelings with each other and us.

I just had a thought today,
As parents do we actually listen to our children? Or are we that busy and so stuck to our phones what we forget that they need to vocalise their feelings to us?

Are we open for cuddles and random hugs or are we closed for cuddles with our phones?

Here’s to more (((hugs))) ❤️

FIRST BREAKFAST ❤️ I visited my father today

FIRST BREAKFAST ❤️

I visited my father today
It’s been over a month.
I didn’t wanna give him my cough so I was patient enough to sit this long until it disappeared…

He harvested mums final crops and said “please take it and eat the last of your mums plants” 😞

So here we are… the last of my mums harvest. Potol and pumpkin.

It was my first time sharing breakfast with my dad today in 15 years. We had breakfast for the first time. I made pakoras and shemai. He gobbled them down fast.

I love how they say “oh I don’t eat this it’s no good for me” but they eat the lot 🥰

I made my father tea today.
The last time was 15 years ago.
He still pours the leftover milk from his cornflakes in his tea.

I watched my father water mums plants today. Keeping them healthy and alive wishing I wish that was mum instead.

I don’t know how many more years I will spend with my father but I’m taking small steps and making our final memories.

Im here for my father even if it is on my own.

“What do you do all day Baba?”
He says he watches cricket and walks up and down the house.

“I do the same Baba, I have to watch Manchester United lose every weekend and im always running around your grandkids”

“How are they?” He asked…
“They wanna meet u Baba”….

Silence…

Sometimes in life we are afraid of connecting in fear of disconnecting.

Im a really strong minded and a very strong willed character. Nothing stops me from doing what I need to do and want to do. I. Never feared anyone. Iv always been courageous. I may have left home with four bin bags of the things I needed to make my life with but today I’m throwing out four bin bags of things I no longer need every month.

We start life with nothing.
We will end our life with nothing.
Except our good deeds & memories.

I will always be sorry for hurting my parents but eating breakfast with my dad once a week now is all I can do to make up for the time lost.

We all make mistakes and will make more mistakes. But we aren’t a mistake & so today I’m using my powers to shape a happier today and a more fulfilled tomorrow.

Love those around u.
Thrive from love u receive.
Make your parents happy.

Have breakfast with them ❤️

#LoveYourParents

TURKISH BULGAR RECIPE 🙏🏼 I must admit I’m

TURKISH BULGAR RECIPE 🙏🏼

I must admit I’m not a huge fan of restaurant bulgar because it’s too dry and I much prefer Turkish baldo rice at the restaurant. But I do enjoy the bulgar sometimes with grilled chicken as it reminds me of African jollof rice. This recipe of mine is delicious and is a little similar to jollof rice.

Enjoy.

1. In 3-4tbsp oil saute and cook down 1 chopped onion.
2. After 10mins, add 2 blended tomatoes which have been blanched. Skin off. Also add 1 green pepper finely chopped.
3. Cook for 10 mins and add 1tbsp butter and 1tbsp tomato paste.
4. Add 1/2tsp black pepper and 2tsp salt. You can add 1 chicken stock cube instead of salt if you wish for extra taste. Add extra salt if you wish.
5. Add 2 cups of washed bulgar stir everything for 2 mins and finally add 3 cups hot water. Optional add herbs of your choice.
6. Stir everything and cook like rice on a small Hob on very low for 30 mins.
7. Fluff up and serve with a nice Turkish grill. You can access the Turkish chops and ribs recipe from the cookbook.

Lots of things to find on www.hungryhijabi.co.uk

Fry Up! 🍳🥓🍞 He’s questioning the peas

Fry Up! 🍳🥓🍞

He’s questioning the peas 🤪 but quickly ate the lot as I fried them in the rendered fat from the beef rashers. “Sweet” he scoffed!

Sometimes going through my freezer, gives me the same joy as doing the weekly food shop 🙌🏻
