Chicken xacuti
I lost my father when I was just 6 years old. It is hard growing up without a father, but it’s easy when you have fantastic mother who plays both roles. I know mom you are emotional but stand like rock, tired but you kept and keep going, worried but full of hope. Wonderful even in chaos. Yesterday I had visited mom I had asked her, mom what was dad’s favourite food, she said whatever I used to cook he loved it. Happy father’s day mom.

Chinese 5 Spice Chinese 5 Spice
I had been wanting to post a separate recipe featuring this spice blend for quite a while. I finally have the chance to do so today and in my humble opinion, this is a very underrated spice blend. Which I always wonder why. Not only you can use this on various Chinese dishes, but you can also use it as a BBQ rub or even in cakes. Once you start making your own spice blend, you will never go back to those store-bought ones.

Pakistani Lamb Curry (Dumbay ki Nihari) Pakistani Lamb Curry (Dumbay ki Nihari)
Modified from the recipe on Saveur. This recipe makes a curried lamb in a pressure cooker that cooks in an hour and falls apart in a spiced sauce. You could make this in a dutch oven instead, but it will take longer. The masala is made from whole spices, but you can substitute store bought. Serve over turmeric rice with minced cilantro and raita. I make my raita with curried fermented limes and Greek yogurt

Garam Masala - Indian spicemix Garam Masala - Indian spicemix
Garam masala is a delicious warm tasting spicemix from India, there are a few recipes I love to make that require this and although you can probably also find a ready-made-mix in a shop when in a hurry... a fresh homemade mix is definitely much more rich in flavour and taste. You will need a old coffee bean grinder or something similar if you use whole ingredients. If you need more, just use a bigger spoon and keep it in a closed (glass) container to keep it fresh
