In an attempt to become the true foodie I aspire to be, I'm going to *try* and make something new everyday that we're quarantined

Making a thread to hold myself accountable lol

Starting with Adeni Chai (Yemeni cooked milk tea with cardamom/nutmeg/etc)

made with tea from @QahwahHouse (which is )

Poha - an Indian dish made of flattened rice, mustard seeds, haldi (turmeric), onions, chilis, topped with crispy peanuts, cilantro, and lemon juice

Popular for breakfast, but I added potatoes to mine to make it more filling for lunch

Tahini Rose Chocolate Chip Cookies - mixed white chocolate and a pistachio dark chocolate bar from Turkey bc we ran out of regular choco chips lol

PIZZA NIGHT!

grandma ish pizza - simple homemade tomato sauce, fresh mozz, parm, basil, garlic evoo

palak paneer pizza - homemade white sauce, layered with palaak paneer, fresh mozz, parm, then finished with zeera/laal mirch baghaar/tadka and fresh squeezed lime juice

Turkish Coffee Latte - I'm not a big fan of traditional Turkish coffee bc I like my coffee milky/creamy, so I added whole milk to the ibrik

Zaatar Croissants - croissants topped with zaatar, garlic olive oil, and white cheddar and no I did not make these from scratch I'm just having serious croissant withdrawals (thank you Trader Joe's for selling these frozen ones)

Paired with a cardamom oat milk latte

butter chicken mac

pic 3/10
taste 9/10 (ran out of cheese lol)

ROSE TRES LECHES

Saturday brunch: savory blue corn pancakes, my bomb refried black beans, @sadiyaharabia's spicy and cheesey hashbrowns

New Orleans style cold brew - dark roast coffee steeped overnight with chicory, then mixed with pure cane sugar simple syrup and milk

Tried to recreate the best cold brew ever (aka the NOLA from @bluebottleroast). Not as good but it'll suffice

Mini Bagel Croissants - stuffed these croissants with TRUFFLE cream cheese and topped with everything seasoning

(also there needs to be better croissant dough options bc these Pillsbury ones are trash)

Paneer Tikka tacos and Garlic Chicken tacos - with hari chutney crema and pickled onions. @sadiyaharabia and I made these - simple but so so good

Brie and raspberry jam stuffed french toast with rose whip

bruhhhhh.

Cardamom espresso con panna - Yemeni cardamom coffee (from @QahwahHouse!) prepared in an ibrik, topped with rose whip

shahi paneer - this was so rich and delicious I actually surprised myself with this one

I also made an apple pie which was very ugly and very difficult to make and I will not be making one again so long as the amazing $4 Publix ones will be there

tandoori parmesan sweet potato fries! with hari chutney cheese dip!!!

the cheese dip had brie, gouda, parm, and mint cilantro chili chutney

based off this recipe from @HBHarvest for feta harissa dip, but I had to improvise bc I had neither lol https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/skinny-tandoori-butter-sweet-potato-fries-wcreamy-baked-harissa-feta/

gulab jamun donuts with cardamom rose cream cheese frosting!!!

churros con chocolate ice cream samosa!!

homemade samosa dough filled @COOLHAUS Street Cart Churro Dough ice cream, flash fried, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled with melted milk chocolate

fried chicken and waffle samosa!!!!

fried chicken with a bit of parmesan, stuffed in homemade samosa dough, waffled, then flash fried and served with hot garlic chili maple syrup

took a bit of trial and error but daaaaamn, mA

finished of #30days30samosas with a knafeh donut

cheese blend stuffed in homemade samosa dough, covered in shredded phyllo, and doused in rose syrup

finished off* lol but also

air fryer chicken 65 (4 years late to the air fryer game but if you have good recipes pls send them my way!!!)

adding this to my food thread https://twitter.com/agenthals/status/1283127968219435012

mocha knafeh chocolate flavored phyllo dough, stuffed with dark chocolate and espresso infused cheese mixture, finished with rose syrup and pistachios

also loving my stovetop Turkish knafeh plates which are the perfect size for experimenting!

not so traditional shafoot (yemeni appetizer layering savory raita-esque buttermilk yogurt and lahoh which is yemeni bread) but used a baguette instead of lahoh

not really cooking but brie and fig en croute (mostly made this to test a new fresh fig compote recipe for something later)

I forgot about this thread for several months lol oops but here's some air fryer fried chicken sandwiches

marinated in buttermilk mixture for like 24 hours so it was v tender and juicy

only took me like 5.5 hours but khausay (if you're memoni pls I know it's not completely authentic but it was still so good)

I need to start making ice cream again // gajar ka halwa ice cream
