Homemade pancake mix from @nigellalawson recipes I am so glad I found this recipe in Nigella Express cookbook What is so great about it is that you can mix the dry ingredients and store it. So when you are in the mood for homemade pancakes take some of the stored mix and add egg, milk and butter. I used mini pancake maker Pancake mix 4 cups flour 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp baking powder 40g caster sugar 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda Mix all the ingredients and store. To make pancake batter: For each cup of pancake mix add and whisk together: 1 egg 1 cup milk 1 Tbsp melted butter Heat a flat griddle or pan with no oil. Spoon drops of 11/2-2 of batter onto the hot griddle or into the pan and, when bubbles appear on the surface flip them over to make them golden brown on both sides. A minute or so a side should do it. #nigellalawson #pancakerecipe #minipancakes #nadaleinskitchen https://www.instagram.com/p/ChMN0EUISCe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went to see my friends at @bandageksa I have talked about this place before and still rave about their customer service. The appetizers and sandwich were okay not bad but not super great. Bottom line I would go again and order the same food which is for a cafe is great. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7TfqHI9EL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday we went to @comogelato to have desserts with hot drink. Unfortunately there were not serving coffee perhaps the coffee machine was not working so I ordered Turkish coffee with Crème Brûlée. I wasn’t impressed with my dessert the top was hot and crunchy but the center was cold and I mean fridge cold. My sisters and nieces’s order was great. Would I go again yes but I won’t be so hungry and I would just want a nice place to sit and a have chat with a friend. #jeddahcafe #comogelato #comocafe #cremebrulee #cremebrûlée #desserts #frenchdessert #italiandessert #nadaleinskitchen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1dMADo-pH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been wanting to find THE cafe where I can go anytime and have a cup of coffee and find good selection of desserts. That is when I decided to give @bandageksa a visit. The location is perfect since it is close to my work place. So I can drop myself there to do some computer work while have something to eat before going home. I have never felt welcomed in a place like this place. The employees there get 100/10 for hospitality. But first I had to try their coffee. Coffee was not to my liking but the manager was a professional who offered to try again and again until I have my perfect cup of coffee. He succeeded out of his first try 👏🏼 I loved the dessert but not so much the udon dish. It was too oily and had too much garlic for my taste. Will I go again? ✅ definitely I loved the service, coffee and the ambiance and I would love to try their breakfast selection. #nadaleinskitchen #bandagecafe #jeddahcafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmfrEEIzlx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been craving brownies for the last two weeks and with work and everything I didn’t have the time or the energy to bake. I really wanted to treat myself with the best brownie served to me at home but then I looked at food delivery apps and nothing caught my eye. I don’t know how but stumbled upon this account @thebrownory and it looked so good and I asked about it in my Story. Also, I contacted them and they kindly replied with all the details but I forgot to order one day ahead for Thursday because I was busy with the school graduation party 😭 So Thursday came and I had my best friends over and guess who was following my story about this brownie account- and actually made the order and brought it to me @ruba852_963 💙💙💙💙💙 My friend doesn’t like too sweet dessert and asked for the brownie not to be overly sweet and they did it as she asked and it was great 😋 We all liked the ones with the fruit toppings. I highly recommend @thebrownory #friendstime #thursdayfriendnight #nadaleinskitchen #brownies #chocolatedessert https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5qRZvoIiG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking at old pictures I found these. I went to @cosmocafe_sa with my nieces on the 9th of January. The service and ambiance were great however the churro were not. You can taste the burnt oil. Or maybe it was already fried and then refried for when customers order. The coffee was good. #nadaleinskitchen #cosmocafe #churros #loopchurros #desserts #frieddessert #jeddahcafe https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5kWNIo67x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wanted to make something very different from our dishes. When I was @danubeco couple of weeks ago I could resist the Thai curry paste especially the Tom Yum paste 🤤 I got also this very interesting never tried it before Panang curry paste. I like this recipe but I might omit or half the brown sugar. To be completely honest here it is was not my family’s cup of tea but it was ok I enjoyed it along with our lovely house maids from Philippines. I was like ok you ladies will be my partners in crime from now on. Panang Chiken Curry 1 can coconut milk 1 tablespoon panang curry paste 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter 1/2 onion sliced 1 small bell paper sliced 225g chicken breast marinated and cubed 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar 

Skim off two tablespoons of the coconut cream and add it to a sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Add the Panang curry paste along with the peanut butter and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken and stir to coat, cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, sliced onion, and red bell pepper.  SIMMER: Allow the curry to come to a simmer, lower the heat and let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken cooks through. Turn off the heat. Serve warm with rice or cooked rice noodles. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-jos1Inyx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strawberry Salad I prefer strawberry salad with spinach or rocca but I only had lettuce 🥬 The original dressing recipe asks for 2 tablespoon of honey and when I followed I got comments from my family that is was too sweet. Perhaps because our honey is genuine from Yemen’s mountains so the taste was strong. Strawberry and Lettuce salad 2 cups strawberry sliced 8 cups lettuce 1/2 onion sliced 1/3 cup walnut toasted chopped 1/3 cup cheese ( haloumi or feta) Dressing 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon honey 6 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 tsp Salt #ramadan #ramadanrecipes #ramadan2022 #nadaleinskitchen #strawberrysalad #salads #saladdressing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-h9fkI07T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I didn’t meet anybody who doesn’t like Caesar salad. This salad is all about the dressing in my opinion. You want to add chicken boiled egg that is all extra but the focus should be on the dressing. Every time I look for a better recipe I find anchovy in the recipe. Soooo I added fish sauce yes fish sauce but only a tiny bit. For the other components of the salad is up to you. I added sweet tomatoes and chicken. Caesar Salad Ingredients to Caesar dressing:
 1 Tbls garlic minced 1/2 tsp fish sauce 2 Tbls lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper Wisk together the garlic, worcestershire sauce , lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and fish sauce. Next, whisk in the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing and enjoy. #caesarsalad #salad #ramadan #ramadanrecipes #nadaleinskitchen #ramadan2022 #caesardressing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8NIzCI5bS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beehive Sweet Buns I love this dessert so does my mom. My mother used to make every Ramadan when I was a child. Now that I made it myself I understand why she doesn’t bother making them again. They are so delicious but time consuming. However, it is worth it. I used @arwa.bamehriz recipe and it is bulletproof proof. The adding of Tangzhong roux really makes a difference. It is a Japanese baking technique to make the dough soft and fluffy. Tangzhong dough 3 tablespoon flour 1/2 cup water Yeast mixture: 3 tsp yeast 1 tsp sugar 1/4 cup warm water 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/3 cup butter melted 1/2 cup buttermilk Cream cheese Syrup In a mixing bowl, combine water, sugar, and yeast; mix well. Leave the yeast to activate. To make the Tangzhong dough just mix the flour and water and microwave it and stir every 30 second until you get a nice, thick pudding-like roux. Add all the other ingredients to the yeast mixture and knead until is come together then add the Tangzhong and knead the dough for 5-8 minutes until it becomes elastic. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until it becomes double in volume. Turn the dough onto a wooden board dusted with a little amount of flour. Bring the dough together and knead a few times. Divide the dough into 20 balls. Flatten each ball and stuff with a teaspoonful of cream cheese. Pull up the sides of the ball and wrap around the filling, pinching it closed at top. Arrange the balls in a greased 9 or 10-inch oven proof skillet or round cake pan in honeycomb pattern. Cover and let them rise again for about 40 minutes Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Brush the top of the buns with egg wash or cream and sprinkle sesame seeds, Bake the buns for 25 minutes.
 When the buns come out of the oven, pour the syrup over the hot buns. Serve warm or at a room temperature #sweetbeehivebuns #beehivebun https://www.instagram.com/p/CcztPlDoph9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chineses Chicken cashew stir fry You cannot just follow the recipe as you use vegetables that you have. I have looking for the past two month for oyster sauce at all supermarkets with no success. All I see are soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, mushroom sauce and all purpose sauce. So I got the all purpose sauce from Makati and the whole bottle is about a cup and this recipe need 1/2 cup of sauce. 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces 3 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon ginger grated 1 tablespoon garlic grated 1/2 cup onion cubed 1 cup carrot sliced 2 cup cabbage cubed 1 cup bell peppers, cubed 1/2 cup chines mushroom 1 cup unsalted dry-roasted whole cashews 1/2 cup of all purpose sauce To a gallon-sized ziptop bag, add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, chicken, seal, and shake to coat chicken evenly To a large skillet, add oil, chicken, and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat, flipping and stirring so all sides cook evenly. Set the chicken aside. Add more oil if needed and cook the garlic and ginger. Add the 🧅 , 🥕, 🫑 , cabbage, mushroom , and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and add chicken ; stir intermittently. Add the sauce and stir to combine. Allow sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes Add the cashews to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve with rice or on noodles. #chinessefood #chinesscuisine #chickencashew #chickenstirfry #chinesestirfry #nadaleinskitchen #ramadanrecipes #ramadan2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CcxgjGEIUfo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The topping needs just five Snickers bars melted with 120g of cream. I didn’t have five bars so I mixed Mars and Snickers and I added a bit of coffee ☕️ Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 egg 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup brewed coffee 1/4 cup oil 1 tsp vanilla extract For the topping 5 snickers bars 120g cream Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Mix all the dry ingredients Mix all the wet ingredients Mix all and pour into a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes Meanwhile melt the chopped bars with the cream.
