Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe
Very Veggie Box patties, the name itself rings in your ear, doesn’t it?
You must be wondering is it a box or a patty 😉

The unique and interesting name is because of the way the these patties are folded and made, like wrapping a box. A savory veggie filling is put inside samosa wrappers and then deep fried.

Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe

So what exactly are Very Veggie Box Patties?

If you are not familiar with box Patties, they are a deep-fried Pakistani pastry snack usually filled with something savory. They are called box patties because their shape resembles a square box which is made by overlapping two samosa wrapper sheets. They are loved all throughout the year but they become almost a staple in every household during Ramadan on the Iftar tables.

Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe ~ Ramadan snack doesn’t get better than this!

Ingredients in This Very Veggie Box Patties?

Not only are these simple to make (they require nothing more than few veggies, seasoning and samosa sheets), but the stuffing possibilities are endless!
1. Veggies: I used carrots, green peas, sweet corn, capsicum, boiled potatoes, cabbage.
2. Olives: Green and Black Olives
3. Seasoning: Black pepper, red Pepper flakes, salt
4. Sauce: red chili Sauce and soy sauce
That’s all you need to make this Very Veggie Box Patties ! Surprisingly simple ?

How to Make this Veggie Box Patties:

This Very Veggie Box Patties recipe is so easy to make and simple that definitely it’s worth trying.
1. Prepare the Filling: I start off with sautéing veggies to which I add boiled green peas, potatoes, carrot, capsicum, cabbage and sweet corn and olives. Then season it with salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, soy sauce and for an extra kick red chili sauce .
2. Prepare the Box Patties: Then put two samosa sheets in a cross pattern, one over the other so they make a + (plus) sign. Then put some veggie filling in the middle. Fold each of the edges one by one over each creating a parcel.
3. Frying: Then deep fry on medium flame till crispy and golden. You can fry these in advance and keep them in the oven on warm mode and serve when required.

Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe

Can I play around with the filling?

Yes, you can! In this recipe, I have used vegetables carrot, cabbage, capsicum, corn and olives. Some options that I suggest are:
- For a meaty version use chicken or beef instead of veggies or use shredded cottage cheese (paneer) instead of meat for a vegetarian option. Just make sure that the protein in the filling is cooked through. As the box patties are only fried for a few minutes, I wouldn’t suggest to put raw meat.
- Skip the vegetables, or add more vegetables. Such as French beans carrots, black olives, green chilies, mushrooms or broccoli.
- If you are using large vegetables like broccoli or carrots, make sure they are finely chopped. Pulsing them in the processor for a few seconds will work.
- Add some taco seasoning for a Mexican twist or experiment with other spice blends. 😛
- To give a different taste to the patties box, you can also add pizza seasoning or Oregano and Chili Flakes to the vegetable stuffing.
Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe

Other variations to this Very Veggie Box Patties?
- Healthy Alternative: These square shaped patties are filled with a flavorful veggie filling. The chewiness of the veggie stuffing and the crunchiness of the covering, is a delicious combination. There are two options, baking or frying. If you do not like oil, you can bake it in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Deep frying obviously gives best results but they can also be baked or air-fried.
- Wrappers: If you do not get samosa sheets , then cut the spring roll sheets into strips. The trimmings you can fry and keep them to garnish your soups or salads.
- Extra Crispness: For extra crispiness, roll them with Bread Crumbs before frying.
Very Veggie Box Patties Recipe

Can I freeze them?

Definitely!
1. Grease a tray (can be plastic or a baking tray) and lay out the box patties one by one on it, making sure there is space between each one of them.
2. Keep them in the freezer for an hour or so till they are partially frozen. Once they are frozen, carefully remove them from the tray and place them in a plastic box or zip lock bags.
3. To make the box patties, just take them out of the freezer, thawed and deep fry on medium heat until crispy and golden brown.
4. This recipe actually makes a large batch that can be easily frozen and is just the thing to have on hand for impromptu guests or if you are in the mood for a light snack to enjoy with your evening tea.

Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Imagine if you will that a lamb meat patty married a corn fritter and they had babies = Lamb corn Fritters. I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought of this sooner. They are healthier than regular lamb fritters; being half meat and half veggie and they are super juicy and flavorful.

Here’s a healthy recipe for Lamb Corn Fritters – without deep frying! Because nobody likes soggy fritters. And nobody wants to deal with a vat of oil tonight! Dinner really doesn’t get any easier than this! These Lamb Corn Fritters are so easy, you can practically whip up these juicy fritters in no time!

These fritters are ideal to make with fresh corn cut off the cob, but can be made with canned or frozen corn. Serve for breakfast, lunch, dinner!

Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

What you need to make really great, Lamb Corn Fritters

Here’s what you need to make these Lamb Corn fritters:

Ground Lamb: I like to grind my lamb at a ratio of about 80% lean. I feel this brings out the most flavor. The best places to buy fresh ground lamb is your local butcher shop. If you want to use lamb, ask your butcher to grind it for you or, to make your own ground lamb, start with a lean cut. You can also use lean ground beef or turkey instead.
Corn: as noted above, fresh is better for both flavor and crispiness. But canned and frozen work too, you just need to make an effort to dry it out as much as you can.
Egg: egg to bind the meat and corns. It will help to get mince to stick together better.
Ricotta Cheese: – for a good hit of savory flavor AND to make the fritters extra juicy and flavorful!
Green Masala: Green onion, green chilies and coriander – for a hit of freshness.
Seasoning: salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes (my fav)
Olive oil: to sauté

Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

How to make Lamb Corn Fritters

And here’s how to make them.
1. Mixing: Place lamb mince and corn in a bowl. Then add 1 lb fresh ground lamb. 1 egg, finely sliced green chilies, green onions, fresh coriander, salt, black pepper, red pepper and 1 cup ricotta cheese. Mix until well combined. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Cooking: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. extra light olive oil. Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hand and form a oval or round shaped patty about 1/3-inch thick. Cook over medium heat uncovered for 5-7 minutes, then flip, cover and cook for another 5 minutes more or until meat cooked through. Add more oil to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.
3. The fritters take a good 12-15 minutes to cook so they’re golden on the outside and for the raw meat to cook through (remember, these are fritters so they are not very thick).
4. Pro Tip: You can use an ice cream scooper with a lever to scoop the batter into the pan. Then flatten using a greased spatula! But don’t crowd the skillet, adding more oil to pan if required.
Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

How to serve corn fritters

Corn fritters is one of those rare foods that truly spans the breakfast-lunch-dinner spectrum! Here’s how to serve it.
- stack of 4 corn fritters topped with poached or pan fried egg (runny yolks of course!)
- dollop of sour cream or yogurt – or go all out with Jalapeno Cream Sauce
- optional extras: side of toast or bun (try this simple Buttermilk Rolls
- finishes: small side of lightly dressed leafy green salad
- To make it a meal, the bread fills it out nicely, though you could opt for a big salad instead – try one of these: Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad, Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs, Russian Macaroni Salad ,Apple and Orange Salad
Though having suggested those various ways to serve it, the reality is that you will want to snatch them fresh off the stove, before you’ve even had a chance to plate them up properly. And that’s totally ok too! – Bushra

Chewy crust, spicy sauce, meatballs and plenty of melted cheese? Ummmm…. yes, please.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Pizza is always a winner in our house and cheesy meatballs are definitely comfort food around here, so we threw together a super easy, super cheesy meatball pizza. Make a big batch of meatballs and freeze in portions along with this fresh pizza dough recipe so you’ll have meatball pizzas ready to go when you want them.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

You can use frozen meatballs to save on time but you will have to adjust points accordingly, I prefer to make my own and I added a little pizza flare to mine.

How do you make Meatball Pizza?

1. A pizza pan is rubbed with a little bit of oil. Pizza dough is spread into the pan, poked with a fork. Then spread prepared sauce over it.

Spread pizza sauce over the dough

2. The topping is assembled by cooking the meatballs in a hot pan.

4. Then baked in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden and crust is cooked! Remove from the oven and cut into the wedges. ENJOY 🙂

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Where is the best place to buy Pizza dough?
1. Most markets have some sort of pizza dough that they sell. You’ll probably be able to find the kind of pizza dough in the can (not my favorite), and some will offer it in a little plastic baggie (probably a better product and likely more fresh).
2. I do have a tip for the best place to buy pizza dough. Most pizza restaurants will likely be willing to sell you a ball of their pizza dough. Just ask! That’s going to be your best bet for good pizza dough!
3. You can also make your own. I have good recipe for Easy Pizza Dough.
What are the best toppings for pizza?
1. If you’re a meat lover, you’ll most likely enjoy some sort of meat lover’s pizza like this Meatball Pizza! BBQ Chicken Pizza is my another favorite.
2. And my personal choice for pizza topping is Bell Peppers, Olives and Pineapple. Chicken Chunks, Sausage are also popular pizza toppings ( but I don’t like it that much).
3. Some people like to add olives, corn, goat cheese, spinach and more. The possibilities are endless!
It’s pretty likely that everyone in your family will enjoy this Meatball Pizza. It’s a nice, quick and easy dinner for those nights that are crazy!

Stuffed Chicken Buns

How to Bake Perfect Stuffed Chicken Buns every time!

Stuffed Chicken Buns
1. Dough: These stuffed buns are an easy bake with only a single rise needed for the dough. That makes it a comparatively quicker snack. When making anything with yeast, including these buns, let the dough rise to the point the recipe says it should, e.g., “Let the dough rise till it’s doubled in bulk.” Rising times are only a guide; there are so many variables in yeast baking (how you knead the dough; what kind of yeast you use) that it’s impossible to say that bread dough will ALWAYS double in bulk in a specific amount of time.
2. Stuffing: They prepared a cheesy chicken filling and stuff into these soft buns and life will be so much simpler for you. You can fill up your buns with lots of different things. I like to add some mushrooms and olives to mine, but you can use any kind of vegetables, meat stuffing you prefer! Pizza sauce would be another great addition. Or throw in some fresh herbs. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
3. Shaping: Shape them as per your liking and bake. For slightly smaller buns, divide the dough into 12 pieces instead of 10. Bake the buns for 12 to 15 minutes, instead of 15 to 18 minutes. And how about “slider buns” — about 3″ in diameter? Divide the dough into 24 pieces, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Proceed with the recipe as written.
4. Alternative way of Shaping: What’s another easy way to shape buns, besides rolling them into balls and flattening? Gently deflate the dough, and form it into a smooth 8″ log. Slice the log as though you were slicing cinnamon buns. Gently pull each slice into a circle.
5. Brushing: Brushing buns with melted butter will give them a soft, light golden crust. Brushing with an egg-white wash (1 egg white beaten with 1/4 cup water) will give them a shinier, darker crust. For seeded buns, brush with the egg wash; it’ll make the seeds adhere. And, feel free to add the extra yolk to the dough, reserving the white for the wash.

How to make the Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites

First I line up the muffin pan with homemade pizza dough and cut it into round circles (No need to be extremely accurate with the measurements). I just wanted the pizza bites to be about the same size. Then I top it with the pizza sauce. I always keep a jar of homemade pizza sauce in my pantry to make these kinds of easy pizzas at a moment’s notice. Next is the cheese then the leftover seekh kebabs with onion and peppers then sprinkle herb seasoning and bake at 180 degree C for 10-15 minutes!

These couldn’t be more simple.

Once they have cooked, I remove them from the oven and allow them to cool enough so that they can be safely eaten, about 5 minutes and serve.

How to Freeze Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites

Once they have cooled completely, place them onto a sheet pan and allow them to flash freeze for about 30 minutes. Then, package them in freezer-safe zip top bags or containers for up to 2 weeks. To serve from frozen, just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in the oven for about 10 minutes until heated throughout.

Extra Bounce Tip:

The fun thing is that they are completely customizable. And if you have kids around, or want to get friends involved in customizing their own, these are a great idea for a make-your-own-appetizer set up. Everyone will love tossing in their favorite toppings.

The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Can’t decide whether to make a grilled kabab or an egg in a hole? Make both!
Two of my favorite food groups—eggs and toast—unite in this take on the playful dish also known as egg in a hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat or, more simply, egg in toast. I fancy it up by filling the bread center with mince crust and topping with basil or chili flakes. And It came out so delicious!

Egg in-a-hole – Look at that perfect texture !!

For this recipe, I used a normal mince kabab mixture for filling the bread , to keep it low carb. The outside was crunchy and crispy and inside was so juicy and tasted so good with the egg in the middle. A nice way to add some more protein to a sandwich, while also providing something of a sauce from the egg yolk (depending on how you cook your egg). It’s adds just a little oomph of flavor to the sandwich.

Watch carefully as you cook the mince crust, and don’t raise the heat higher than medium: The goal is for the mince crust to brown and the egg to set simultaneously. Save the crust center for making breadcrumbs.

Also how well the eggs must be cooked is a personal choice. Some like over easy, sunnyside up or completely cooked through. No matter how you make it, this will remain a favorite breakfast option passed on for many generations to come. When you make this cute breakfast-for-dinner recipe, you can vary it by using cheese, vegetables or sauteed Spinach in place of the mince filling.

This Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe can be an excellent addition to a healthy weight loss diet. They’re not only low-carb and low in calories but also high in protein and fiber that keep you feeling full.

I’m really excited to share this recipe with you.

Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe

Let’s take a quick break from dessert and talk about pizza. Thick style homemade pizza crust topped with BBQ sauce, Barbecue flavored Chicken Chunks, onions, capsicum, jalapeno, and tons of cheese. Your soon-to-be favorite pizza!

It’s Cheesy, doughy, crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, loaded, homemade pizza. All you need is 35 minutes and a few fresh ingredients for this Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe.

Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza

What’s your favorite kind? For me, nothing beats my Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza. But this BBQ chicken pizza is in close 2nd place! Sweet BBQ sauce, chicken chunks, red onions, a dash of jalapeno, and tons of cheese.

My version of savory heaven, right here.

Unbelievably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza

When I make homemade pizza, I like to get the cheese extra melted and bubbly. I love the sides to get a little brown and the bottom to be extra crispy. To obtain all this goodness, I switch my oven to broil for a quick minute as the pizza is finishing up. I suggest you try it! What I don’t suggest you try is walking out of the kitchen to answer your phone, only to come back finding your pizza burnt to a black crisp with the oven still on broil.

Whoops! Yeah, I make mistakes too.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

My love affair with barbecue chicken pizza began long, long ago. The flavors and textures in this pizza are incredible! You have the sweet tang from the BBQ sauce, the meaty chicken, the zesty red onion, fresh green pepper, smoky jalapeno, soft crust, crispy edges, and ultra cheesy mozzarella covering it all. Does anything sound better?

Ditch the delivery guy, you’re eating homemade tonight! It’s easy, cheesy, and fun, especially on the weekends! While you can never go wrong with traditional cheese and pepperoni, give BBQ chicken chunks a chance and you wont be disappointed! You can cook your own chicken and shred it for this recipe, or use a rotisserie chicken, which gives great flavor and cuts the prep time in half! This is the easiest recipe and tastes super delicious!

Bismillah let’s get started.

First, get your oven heated up to Gas Mark 180 degrees C. Then, grab some pizza dough. You can use a ready made pizza base which would make dinner appear a lot faster. I used one batch of my Fresh Pizza Dough.

Place it onto a floured surface. And, roll and shape the dough into a 9-inch triangle. Roll out to fit your pizza tray. Next, You need barbecue sauce. Use shop bought or make it homemade which I did using this Homemade Barbecue Sauce recipe. It’s really easy and uses ingredients that I bet you already have in the cupboard. Now, grab the rest of your ingredients. Top with chicken chunks and play with your favorite toppings.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Finally, take some Grated Mozzarella. And, then the jalapeno slices.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Place the pizza into the hot oven to bake .. for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Slice and serve immediately! Try not to burn yourself when eating!

Btw, feel free to add anything else to the pizza that you like.

The Easiest Bread Pizza Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

No time to make your own dough? Same here. Skip the homemade crust for easy, cheesy love in 10 minutes. Use bread slices for the crust and have dinner ready in no time. Loaded with great taste and ready in under 15 minutes start-to-finish, it’s sure to become a family favorite! A fun and flexible recipe you’re sure to make over and over again!

Just try saying no to that

The Easiest Bread Pizza

I could eat pizza all day, every day. But I don’t always have the time to make my own crust. Delivery adds up, and store bought crusts tend to be pretty low quality. That’s where this bread pizza recipe comes in. It isn’t even so much of a recipe, per se, but a guideline for happiness.

I love it for many reasons.
1. First, it fits the quick and easy bill beautifully. Simply places the bread slices, brush with butter, and give it a little broil to create that crunchy-on-the-outside but soft-and-chewy-on-the-inside texture that’s so wonderful in this easiest bread pizza. Then slather on some prepared sauce, load on the toppings, and give it all a quick 6 to 8 minute bake in the oven. Done. Add a side salad or some fresh fruit, and dinner’s served.
2. Second, it tastes delicious. Before piling on the toppings, the bread itself is seasoned with garlic powder and oregano for a little added flavor touch. And then with the classic “supreme” combination of toppings, how could it not be tasty, right?
3. Third, it’s versatile. Change up the toppings to suit any personal tastes. Don’t like veggies? No problem … leave them off. Want more cheese? Great! … load it up. Or hey, get totally crazy and prepare each bread toast differently … perhaps Supreme for one slice, and just pepperoni and cheese for the other. Or, if you like more unique pizza flavor combinations, give My Favorite French Bread Pizza a whirl.
4. Fourth, it reheats well. If you don’t mind soft bread all around, a quick zap in the microwave works great. For that classic bread pizza touch-of-crunch, pop the pizza back in a preheated oven for just a couple of minutes and you’re good to go.
5. And fifth, The Easiest Bread Pizza isn’t just great for a quick and easy dinner, it’s always fabulous for game-day {or any day} snacking, too. Bake some up and slice into fingers for a tasty treat while you’re cheering on your favorite team.
The Easiest Bread Pizza

Bread pizza is one of the quickest & easiest snacks that you can make with minimal ingredients. All you need is of course some bread slices, veggies of your choice, pizza sauce, cheese, leftover chicken, and some seasoning. Easy right?

To make the bread pizza healthier use whole wheat breads or any bread that you fancy. Garlic bread would taste great too.

The Easiest Bread Pizza

There are a few tricks to making this bread pizza taste its best. First, you’ll want to toast the bread for about 5 minutes by itself to crisp it up a bit. Then you’ll add the pizza sauce , cheese (a good melty mozzarella) and your favorite toppings (I liked veggie version, but you can add leftover tikka, seekh kebabs, cooked mince, mushrooms etc choices are endless ) before returning it to the oven to get the cheese melty and the pizza glistening.

And that’s all there is to it! This is great recipe to make with your kids or better yet, let your kids make themselves.

So easy, so yummy!

The Easiest Bread Pizza

Allow to cool for a few minutes, slice and enjoy!

For dinner, I’ll serve it alongside a big salad. For lunch, I usually put out veggies and hummus to go with it. And for an ea snack, I cut each toast into fourths and serve it with fruit. They’re easy to make, easy to eat and easy to clean up after. YES!!

Bismisllah Let’s Get This Started !

Ingredients You will Need:
For Buns Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon milk powder
- 1/2 cup water (might use less)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups boiled chicken, shredded
- 1 large red onion, finel chopped
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili, crushed
- 4 tablespoon coriander leaves
- 4 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
For Assembling Buns
- white & black sesame seeds, as required
- 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tsp milk, for brushing the buns before baking
How to Make Flower Shaped Buns:

Step 1: Sieve the flour and dry milk powder in a large mixing bowl. Make three holes in the flour, and then put sugar, yeast, and salt in each hole. Gently cover the holes with the flour. Then add the oil, melted butter and the egg, and combine together.

Step 2: Pour lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Start kneading together and gradually add the lukewarm water a little at a time. You may not need to use all the water, so add it sparingly until your dough comes together and is nice and soft. Knead for a good 10-15 minutes.When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done. (Note: The more you knead the dough, the softer the buns will be).

Step 3: Touch a bit of oil with your fingertips and apply all over the ball of dough. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap or cover with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place for 40 minutes to an hour for it to double in size.

Step 4 :To Make Chicken Filling – Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a frying pan or wok. Saute onion in butter until transculant. Add flour, salt, pepper and red chili and cook for 2-3 minutes. Now add milk and cook for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add shredded chicken, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves. Stir until well combined and remove from the heat. Let it cool completely.

Step 5: When the dough has risen into a nice big size, take the dough out of the bowl and Punch it down to remove some of the air in the dough.

Step 6: Divide the dough into 16-18 balls, depending on the size of buns you would like.

Step 7: Gently roll out each piece of dough and make a round ball. Flatten a ball until it is about 3 inches in diameter and place 2 tablespoon of chicken filling in the center.

Step 8: Pull up the edges of the rolled out dough and pinch together to firmly seal the filling within.

Step 9: Put the sealed part face down on the board and press the dough into about a 2 inch diameter. Make 8 decorative slits around the edge, equally spaced apart (either using a pizza cutter or sharp knife or even a pair of kitchen scissors).

Step 10 : Place the prepared buns on a greased cooking sheet or tray and cover with a light cloth and let them rise for about 20 minutes to half an hour.

Step 11: Brush each bun with beaten egg yolks and put some black and white sesame seeds in the center of the each bun.

Step 12: Bake the buns, in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Step 13: Remove and brush the buns top with melted butter (it will give nice shiny look) and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.. Flower Shaped Buns are ready to serve. ENJOY with your favorite dipping sauce.

These Flower Shaped Buns are definitely a treat for weekend Tea Party. Especially when served with a luxurious garlic sauce generously topped with mayonnaise.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Who says making fish cakes is tedious?
Who says you need some clever work?

Today, I am going to share My favorite ‘Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes recipe’ with all of you!!

Fish cakes are real comfort food and so easy to make with some leftover fish(you can use salmon, tuna cod or haddock etc). Delicious, family-friendly Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes. Perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes

Yes, its so easy to make!!
The process is done in less than 15 minutes with a food processor, plus some manual work.. stirring and forming patties and frying.
That’s all.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes

This is a full-of herbs fish cakes indeed! The herbs ; dill, coriander, basil, parsley and ginger. The herb mixture is so fragrant, the basil leaves gave a wonderful aroma that no other herbs can give, do not leave it out. I have always used fresh basil leaves for my cooking, a common ingredient over here in my Kitchen. Basil leaves are so fragrant. And I do have many pots of basil plants in my potted garden.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes

White-fleshed fish meat (boneless and skinless, I’ve used sole) are cut to chunks and process briefly in the food processor just so they are broken into small pieces. They are then added to the herb mixture, along with chopped green onion, half an egg, cornflour, ground coriander, sauce, lemon zest, and salt. Shape into cakes, flatten a little, and fry in hot oil on both sides until cooked through. Fish meat cooked pretty quickly, So I have cooked the fish cakes on the stove over medium-low heat on both sides, turning them over a couple of times until they are cooked through.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes: they get a high score on the flavour front.

Bright, bold and richly flavored, these are not your typical fish cakes. There are a lot of herbs and various other aromatics in these fish cakes, which gets them a high score on the flavour front. That flavor is layered into every step: the fish is mixed with green onions along with vibrant herbs and fragrant lemon zest. If you use less, they will still taste pretty good, and the fish will stand out more. These quantities make 12-16 cakes (depending on size), or enough for four as a first course; or serve as a main with a substantial salad and some good crusty bread. Serve these crisp-edged cakes with a dollop of garlic mayonnaise — or mayonnaise spiked with garlic sauce or preserved lemons.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes

Fish cakes are an economical way of making fish go further. You can, if necessary, replace some of the fish by adding some mashed potatoes but check the seasoning carefully to make sure the finished cakes don’t taste too bland. The addition of herbs gives flavour and also produces attractive green flecks.

Full-of-Herbs Fish Cakes

Very tasty and really fragrant from the basil leaves. These fish cakes taste the best when hot (as recommended in the recipe), as when they cool down to room temperature, they do get a little fishy! I ate these with some green salad as part of my dinner dish.

Extra-Bonus Tip:
1. You can fry, bake or grill them.
2. Food processor might smell for sometime. You can remove the smell bu pulsing the food processor with vinegar or lemon juice mixed with some very warm water, and put it out to dry properly.

One of the great things about this happy little dessert is that it doesn’t take long to make and it doesn’t break the bank! Not only is the dessert met with smiles and giggles, it’s an easy and inexpensive way to make everyone at the table happy! And making everyone happy is what its all about.

I made the Chocolate Coffee ganache with hot cream, good quality chocolate, butter and coffee extract. The higher the quality of chocolate used, the better the flavor and texture your ganache will have in the end. Coffee and coffee extract enhances the flavor of chocolate. It enhances the chocolate, and brings out the flavors in the chocolate while adding richness to the taste. I love to add coffee to all of my chocolate cakes. Some things are classics.I put chocolate cupcakes in that category. Pillows of rich chocolate cake. Top with chocolate ganache.

Extra Bonus Tips:
1. If you would like to add coffee to the recipe, either add 1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee granules along with the sifted dry ingredients, or replace the water with room temperature brewed coffee.
2. Please make sure that you bake these for 20 minutes and not more. Baking timing is the most crucial thing for any cake recipe. A few minutes over and you’ll have a hard rock in the name of muffin. So keep checking!
3. And yes..no peeking and opening the oven door for the first 15 minutes at least.
4. Cupcakes are best the same day they’re made, but can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
5. Un-frosted cupcakes can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw, still covered, on the counter or overnight in the fridge.

Chicken Shashlik Sticks

When a friend blogger posted Chicken Shashlik Sticks recipe on Instagram AND I saw it pinned on Pinterest on the same day, I knew it was a sign that I had to make this. The pictures looked so good, and the recipe seemed too easy to be true (spoiler alert, it isn’t!). So I added it to my weekly meal plan. I finally got a chance to make it yesterday, and I am praising the convenience and tastiness of this dish.

This is an easy recipe for Tender & Juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks. The shashlik sticks were loaded with tender pieces of chicken between juicy tomato chunks, sweet peppers and flavorful onions. The chicken was marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce before firing and the sticks were brushed with the leftover marination while they were being cooked. What a great combination of flavors!

Remove from the grill or griddle and serve immediately. The combination of the juicy chicken bites and colorful veggies with the Shashlik sauce is fantastic! I loved how juicy they turned out.

Extra-Bonus Tip:

Make sure you don’t use too big of pieces of chicken because you want everything to cook evenly. I have had one too many (okay, two total- but still that is more than necessary) meals ruined because my chicken wasn’t all the way cooked.
