Kosai
As we all know iftar will never be complete with out the heart of the north fritters(kosai). I always love kosai and I still love it. I don’t really mind eating extra cold kosai tbh, yes this is how much I love it. But living in a place where by you can’t get access to a commercial Grinder isn’t easy on top of that their cowpeas are not good enough for making kosai sadly. This why I adapted some of my tricks from my fluffy oily free masa recipe,and a trick on how to get a thick cookies that I learnt somewhere( yes I can’t even remember where, cuz i read a lot and it’s driving me crazy) May Allah heal me because I’m obsessed 😭🙏🏻. Okay enough of the blabs ya dive in.

Cooking Instructions

This how i clean my cowpeas within few minutes. I start by adding hot water to the cowpeas and let it sit for five minutes then add it to the blender and pulse that’s all. You’ll then wash it make sure there’s no a y traces of the skin!
- 2
I then soak the beans with cold water for like an hour or so. The reason why is because we want the batter to be as soft as possible
- 3
Drain the water and add the beans to the blender and blend till it’s smooth (make sure you add as minimum amount of water as possible)
- 4
Without washing the blender add the vegetables and blend then add it to the batter together will all the spices and the okra the sizzling and whisk. I actually use a hand mixer and whisk for 10 minutes in medium speed then put it In the fridge to rest for 15 minutes. I did this thrice and the result was all I hoped for.

Pollo al Chilindrón (Chicken Chilindrón) Pollo al Chilindrón (Chicken Chilindrón)
Given my love for food from Spain, I took special note when I read about this in Milk Street Magazine. Seems like a cousin of Basque Piperade, but easier and some differences in key ingredients. There's varying opinion on origin (Aragón, Navarra, País Vasco???) and whether there's a proper original recipe or not. Well, let's not stress out too much ... here's a place to start!

Hassan’s Salona Hassan’s Salona
My husband and I come from completely different backgrounds. He’s Palestinian born and raised in the UAE and I’m American. He has always enjoyed my cooking but I knew he was eating at his mom’s a lot too. Although he loves her cooking he’s a finicky eater and doesn’t like a lot of animal flesh in his food on an every day basis. So I started experimenting in the kitchen to adapt Arab recipes to his tastes and preferences. I’m also particular about spices and don’t care for some of the spices used in this part of the world.This is one of his favorites and he asks me to make it often.Adjust the seasonings to you preferences. Sometimes I will add cardamom pods if I have them but I’m not crazy about the flavor.

Chicken Pochero Chicken Pochero
I never liked beans; but over time I grew to love them. I ESPECIALLY like anything simmered in tomato sauce. Here’s a terrific fusion of the two; another Filipino household favorite.PS: Grandma likes to pan-fry the potatoes, chicken, and plantains ahead of time to get some color on the outside, but it’s purely for aesthetics. This version doesn’t do that - but you can totally do it grandma’s way if you like :)

Spicy Tuna Sandwich Spicy Tuna Sandwich
Actually, it has been so long since I wanted to make this sandwich. I make this as simple and as quick as possible, because I have a very active 2 and a half years old boy that I need to look after, and this dish is really yumm, easy, quick and still make you a super mom for your beloved boy. 😂😂😂I missed one ingredient that would make this sandwich having a great texture and perfect as heaven when you chew it, yes... chopped onion, well, it would be so perfect with it, I chewed my tuna sandwich and imagined myself... inside my mouth... that THERE IS... chopped onion within 😂😂😂BUT! It still have a great flavor even without the chopped onion, AND! At least good for your breath 😂😂😂Well, a story about a mom who needs to be quick in the kitchen 😅😅😅

Blackberry Smash Blackberry Smash
The original Blackberry Smash that I drank was described on the menu at the restaurant where I first sampled it as a "Bourbon based drink with lemon-verbena and blackberries". My Internet research showed that the base recipe for the drink is Bourbon, blackberries, mint and soda water. I tried making the drink with both lemon and lime, various sodas, flavored simple syrups, etc. I think that my recipe shows the Bourbon off to its best advantage because the ginger and spice bring out the smokiness of the alcohol. I would not suggest more than one and a half of these drinks...and the half is only on offer because it is too good a cocktail to only have just the one!'
