starch

Hello everybody.

Very very busy morning,my husband brought a big bag of turnip from the farm (لفت ) so I bought extra beets,cauliflower and eggplants and made two large pots of pickles for Ramadan.

I also made a batch of date rolls for my lovely cousin to take with her to Dubai,these rolls are becoming my traditional gift for people I love ,better than anything you buy <3.

After all this work I cleaned all my kitchen in and out then started to cook,I posted this recipe in the early days of my blog,today is a repeat to remind you of it,I know many people cook it first day of Ramadan cause they say you must cook something white !!

Ingredients and method:

* hulled courgettes.

* cooked minced meat spiced and mixed with roasted pine nuts.

* ewe yogurt or jameed and butter milk.

* starch.

* cook the yogurt after mixing it with equal amount of water and 2 big spoons starch,add salt,pepper and margarine.

* stuff meat after cooling into the courgettes.

* fry courgettes or as I prefer roast in the oven with a bit of oil and keep turning them till golden from all sides.

* dip courgettes in boiling yogurt on low heat for 40-50 minutes.

* serve with rice.

I had some courgettes left so I cut them to rings,added salt,garlic,summaq and a bit of oil then roasted them in the oven and made tahini sauce on the side,really good side dish 🙂

Enjoy .

Morning everybody.
Today we have a big lunch with lots of dishes on the menu on the occasion of my sister in law’s visit to Amman. My mother in law is cooking her favorite dishes all this week long ♡♥.

As for me I made spicy potatoes as a side dish and a kind of sweet.

Took this recipe from our Iraqi relatives. We ate it many times in lunch and dinner parties specially at Basma’s, very easy and tasty. It’s a very popular traditional dish done at home usually in small flat dishes or a big one.

Ingredients and method:
* 2 cups powdered milk.
* 2 big spoons starch.
* 2 big spoons flour.
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil.
* 1 1/2 cups sugar.
* 4 cups water.
* 1 tsp rose water.
* almonds or pistachios for garnish.

* Mix milk with starch, flour and oil.
* roast in a pan with continous stirring till golden.
* add sugar then water and mix very well till no lumps exist.
* if lumps are too much beat with electric hand mixer a bit.
* keep on low heat till it boils and thickens, add the rose water.
* spread in a wide serving plate and garnish when cooled.
Enjoy ♡♥.
