Hey precious Friends !
Hope wining your fight against odds brought by Covid 19 .I think like all other challenges we faced in history this disease is also going to leave us with much more awareness and maturity about life ,environment and human behavior . All is well if end is well right ,i know talking about end is too early yet it is reliving to hear that some countries have started to reopen their system slowly which points out towards "hope" hidden somewhere .
Our government is seriously thinking about this too as since Ramadan month has started from 25th April people need to earn and shop as well because Eid our biggest yearly festival is hardly 25 days away and people seems desperate to g out and move normally . Despite of all fear and concern their longing for preparing for Eid is inspiring and appreciable. Following what is necessary to stay healthy and not giving up to the pandemic is positive thing to me at least. Life must go on with cations pandemic has taught us to adopt .This is beauty and need of life .
More then 15,500 people are hit by virus in Pakistan till today 343 deaths and 34,25 recovered .Heartfelt pray that may people strictly follow instruction if state is opening on Saturday .
Last day for no reason while cooking i picked up my phone and start to take photos of my cooking process ,so i can share with you (see how unpredictable i am ) because it was totally sudden and unplanned so avoid my rough kitchen glimpse
when onion were slightly golden i added paste of garlic and ginger ,stir it for a minute
then added tomatoes ,green chilies and other ingredients such as coriander powder ,bit of red chili ,salt ,cumin ,i add black paper in last minute
when in five minutes everything was melted and mixed i added okra or lady finger ,after cooking in lowest flame for 20 minutes i turned off stove
this is how we extract oil from cooked dishes and waste it away
this is one for me and kids ,i prefer onion and tomato disappear ,my mom used to do same though she would some veggies less cooked like spinach ,cauliflower which my mother in law and hubby like differently ,they grind the spinach after boiling and then add ingredients and cooking oil , prepared dish dish looks like paste and i find it hard to eat though when i did i found it tasty yet i love the way mom used to cook :)
no more oranges ,carrots or apples ,Melon and watermelon are available now days and both are our favorite luckily
this image is taken by my younger son's phone ,details are great i think ,but when we ask him to have fruit he puts condition that he will eat some fried things as well ,he is fasting so we cannot say no to him
since he is at home due to virus vacation ,sometimes he himself get into kitchen and cook for himself ,few days back when he was making Samosas i asked him to take few photos for me ,above it is mashed boiled and mashed potato sausage
he made all seasonal flour dough and formed round tortilla ,then cut them out into triangular ,turned them into bowl like he hold in hand in photo above,he filled the sausage in
i tasted it and it was delicious beyond my imagination ,i wish i could eat this but i have to stay careful due to my poor stomach condition ,i can see how nice it feels when stomach is on ease ,so it is okay to miss fast food like this :) i wonder why all things that get us taste and fun cause harm :(
I hope you are taking good care of yourself friends!
Stay positive ,strong and blessed!
all of you in my thoughts and prayers!
