White Zarda Rice| Sweet Rice | How to Make Zarda Rice with step-by-step photos and video

White Zarda Rice is a traditional Pakistani sweet dish, which is a must for every occasion. It is easy to make and consists of simple ingredients rather than rich and calorie-dense ingredients. This white zerda is made by boiling rice with sugar, flavored with cardamom, raisins, saffron, pistachios, and almonds.

But here I did some variations in zerda; it looks a bit different from traditional orange zerda. Additionally, I added green and red coloring along with homemade khoya and ashrafi that you find in any local shop or store.

If it is hard to find, you can use Tutty Fruity instead of Ashrafi and skip a few ingredients like raisins and saffron. Additionally, you can also garnish it with small gulab jamun and chum, so let's go ahead with the preparation.

Recipe tips:

To prepare zarda rice, it is best to use sella rice instead of basmati rice. When serving, garnish the zarda with small-sized gulab jamun and chum chum sweets, along with khoya and dry fruits. Zarda can be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days. When using sella rice, make sure to cook it thoroughly (100%). If the rice is not fully cooked, it will harden after being placed in the sugar syrup. If you want to make orange or yellow zarda, add a pinch of food coloring while boiling the rice.

Masoor Dal Kadhi | Kadhi Pakora | How to Make Kadhi Recipe with step-by-step photos and video....

Kadhi Pakora is a popular Pakistani dish and quite different from curry. It is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. It contains a thick gravy based on chickpea flour (gram flour) and pakoras, to which yogurt is added to give it a slightly sour taste. It is often eaten with boiled rice and roti or naan.

The dish is seasoned with sautéed cumin, whole red chilies, and curry leaves after preparing the kadhi pakora. The main kadhi dish is made from gram flour along with sour yogurt to thicken the consistency, and it incorporates pakora (or phulki). It is typically enjoyed with long-grain basmati rice or, more commonly, with roti.

Unlike the variations found in other states, Pakistan and India have their own unique takes on this basic dish, which may include different vegetables and meatballs.

As I mentioned in my last post, I will be making kadhi using the masoor dal phulki recipe by adding masoor dal fritters, which I have already shared. This version differs slightly from the typical kadhi recipe. I encourage you to try this unique recipe: Masoor Dal Kadhi.

My Latest Masoor Dal Kadhi Video Recipe:

This Pakora Kadhi Recipe is finger-licking for Desi Food lovers. So let me the go-ahead to know how to make masoor dal kadhi.

Tips:

- Don’t leave the kadhi unattended, even for a minute, while it’s boiling to prevent it from sticking to the base of the pot.

- After boiling, the kadhi can be left on a low to medium heat until it is properly cooked.

- Masoor kadhi will not have the thick consistency of besan kadhi; it will be slightly thinner.

- You can add meatballs or any vegetables instead of pakoras.

- Give it plenty of time to slow cook; the longer it cooks, the more delicious and flavorful it will become.

- It's best to cook the kadhi a day in advance before serving.

- Stale kadhi actually tastes more flavorful than freshly made kadhi.

Grilled Mutton Chops| Mutton Ribs || How to MakeMutton Chops with Step-by-step Photos

Grilled mutton chops are a delicious and slightly tangy dish, perfect for a family barbecue get-together. This recipe uses just a grill pan, No Oven or barbecue grill, and involves marinating the mutton chops in yogurt, green chili, black pepper, lemon juice, and papaya.

For the best flavor, I recommend letting the chops rest overnight so that the spices can be absorbed more effectively. Mutton chops can be cooked in various ways, including fried mutton chops, masala chops, or grilled chops, but the grilled version is truly a delight.

This is a simple, easy recipe prepared with basic spices and a straightforward process.

In every region, people apply their own method of cooking, and almost all over the world, these chops are eaten, whether they use lamb, mutton, or pork chops, depending on their region and religion

The Masala chops recipe is already on my blog. Soon I will share fried mutton chops, so let’s begin
