Hey Najia! I love this blog so much! I have a question. I find cooking pretty difficult sometimes. I'm chronically ill and also the kitchen stresses me out a bit because I'm very scatterbrained and there's knives and fire and stuff. I also fuck things up in the kitchen pretty easy. Are there any recipes on here you find particularly easy to make? That you'd recommend for when you just cannot be arsed? Hope you're having a wonderful day, I know it's your birthday 😄🎉
Thank you!
I can understand your stress—cooking can involve things that are objectively dangerous and also time-sensitive. I'd recommend:
Try recipes where you don't have to come into direct contact with the blades you use. Some Indian dals, for example, cook lentils in a sauce made from blended onion, tomato, and garlic; you could process them using a food processor or blender. A lot of things (fresh salsa, guacamole, a duqqa of garlic, chilies, and spices that you can throw in to cook with some lentils) can be prepared in a mortar and pestle, too.
I've never used one, but a vegetable chopper might help in a similar way that a food processor would, by reducing the amount of knifework that you have to do. There are a lot of recipes where a chopped onion is the only knifework required.
Also try recipes that are cooked in the oven, and not on the stovetop. Something that gets thrown into the oven on low heat to cook (like a casserole or fukharat dish) takes longer, but is more hands-off, than something that's cooked on the stove.
Do all of your prep work first. Read through the recipe and see what chopping, blending &c. needs to be done, prep each ingredient, and put it in its own little bowl. This includes anything in the ingredients list that says "1 onion, diced" or similar: do that right off the bat. If the recipe says "meanwhile" or asks you to do prep for anything while anything else is cooking, you might choose to disregard that and do all the prep first, depending on how long the cook time is and how much attention it needs (e.g., soup on a low simmer for half an hour can pretty much be left alone; anything in a frying pan cannot). This way you won't be rushing to chop anything quickly while worrying that something else is going to overcook.
Look for vegetables, like broccoli / cauliflower / romanesco and green beans, that can be broken up with your hands rather than chopped. Rip up cilantro and parsley rather than chopping them.
Admittedly "simple" is not the guiding principle of this blog, but here are some recipes that I think could be easily adapted:
Fukharat l3des: just one onion to chop. Cooked on low heat in the oven.
Fried tofu sandwich: just mixing sauces and spices. You can skip coating the tofu in cornstarch and frying it. Instead try freezing the whole block, thawing it, cutting into two or four pieces, and then marinating it in a plastic bag with your sauce overnight. Then bake the tofu for 15-20 minutes, turning once, at 350 °F (180 °C).
Roasted celery and potato soup: requires only very rough chopping; the cooking methods are baking and simmering. The fried tempering could be skipped by just adding those ingredients into the simmer earlier.
Carrot salad or chickpea salad or tapenade: you could throw all of the ingredients in a food processor.
Moroccan lentils: just an onion and tomato to grate or process.
Kashmiri lal chaman: the only thing you need to cut is tofu; the gravy is just water and spices. You could bake the tofu instead of frying it.
Black bean burgers: no chopping or frying if you omit the onion and carrot and elect to bake the finished patties.
'Chicken' and olive tajine: the marinade is blended or pounded, and there is no other prepwork to do other than chopping one onion. Everything can be simmered on low heat until cooked, so it's pretty hands-off.
Chana pulao: mostly rice, chickpeas, and spices. Some aromatic prep, but you could crush instead of chopping those.
Romanesco quiche: no knifework at all if you omit the aromatics and break aprt the romanesco with your hands.
Spanish garlic mushrooms: just crush garlic instead of slicing and buy pre-sliced mushrooms. There is frying, though.
Eggplant cooked salad: the eggplant is broiled and then spooned out. No knifework required if you use tomato puree.
Butternut squash soup: just roasting and simmering. No knifework required if you omit the aromatics and buy pre-cubed squash.
Dishes with a base of lentils, chickpeas, beans, rice, and/or noodles are great because there's no knifework that needs to be done to prepare the beans &c. themselves.

fixing ur ask drought hi top 5 uhh vegetables
U KNOW THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING TO ASK ME I AM SO BAD AT VEGETABLES. I'M GETTING AN F IN VEGETARIANISM
ok all of these will be under the caveat of. being cooked indian style. i am too unused to vegetables cooked other ways and am generally greatly bothered by their textures. when i eat veggie noodle it is actually just noodle. and egg.
i'm also gonna link random recipes that i have not tried and cannot vouch for the qualities of but just to give an idea of how i eat them
okra (bhindi masala - we don't make this with any of the additional stuff like onions/tomatoes, it's just the okra and spices stir fried)
um. are beans vegetables? if so, garbanzo beans (chana masala)
POTATO (aloo curry) (drier version: jeera aloo)
oh. onions are vegetables. i love onions! no recipe needed, put onions in everything (red > spring > yellow)
i'm cheating again (or not, google says beans and lentils are vegetables) and saying yellow lentils (moong dal fry)

I saw African cuisine is your current hyperfixation /curi, I would love to hear some facts/things you find interesting about the subject! /gen
omgg i always love to talk about my hyperfixations thank you for asking
it's only been my interest for a few weeks so i don't know much YET but i've been researching how historical events and circumstances have affected cuisine so i was looking at the transatlantic slave trade and colonization of the americas and how it shaped cuisine in places mainly in southern america and the caribbean
i know that about 69% of enslaved people were brought from west africa, especially the kingdom of kongo so the cuisine is very influenced by that region and things like shrimp and grits, gumbo, okra, oh and BOILING PEANUTS this was very fascinating to me also collard greens and legumes like black eyed peas. the technique of frying chicken is also credited to west african influence but i don't know much about why/when it started. the one pot cooking method and stews is from west africa as well esp putting together meat and vegetables in a pot and cooking for long period of time (we do this a lot as well in bengali cuisine)
in regards to like regional african food, i've been most interested in ethiopian food because how similiar the flavors and cooking methods are to south asian food as a result of the indian ocean trade route it's just so cool to me how familiar it is to me despite being thousands of miles away from bangladesh absolutely mind boggling but yeah like injera bread, roti, sambusa, cic wet which resembles chana dal very much, they have dishes that resemble daal and south asian curry a lot too like misir wot and doro wat which is ethiopian chicken curry
but my favorite thing i have seen so far is their berbere spice first of all it is so fun to say second of all it has SO MANY DIFFERENT FLAVOR COMPONENTS i love it it's even more intricate than the spice mix i use for bengali torkaris/jhols (curry) not to mention the color is so vibrant you can't not be giddy cooking with these spices they smell and look so amazing it's my favorite part of cooking is the colorful spices
other african dishes/recipes i have been very interested in: jollof rice, okra stew, FUFU my god i am dying to eat this it looks so stretchy and soft i think i would be in love with it i just gotta go buy and make it or buy it from a restaurant when i get time.
i'm sure there's a lot more i can say if i keep digging around in my brain but i think this is long enough lmaoo thanks for asking!

CHEF ILONA: VEGGIE PAKORAS
Tumblr media
Pakoras are a delicious traditional snack in India, typically made with a batter of chickpea flour and spices fried in oil. They can be made with various vegetables or meats and are often served with a dipping sauce. 
Tumblr media
What are fenugreek leaves and what do they taste like?
If you're wondering what gives Butter Chicken that distinct flavor, then this is it!   Dried Fenugreek Leaves have a slightly bitter and earthy taste compared with celery, and a sweet finishing kick similar to the taste of maple syrup. (Surprisingly, fenugreek extract is often used to flavour artificial maple syrup).
Tumblr media
What is Desi Besan
Besan or gram flour is made by grinding split brown chickpeas (chana dal) into a fine powder. Besan has a less bitter flavor profile than garbanzo flour. It works great in recipes where the flour might not always get fully cooked/roasted, or used for crispiness.
Tumblr media
Here's a quick roundup of how pakoras are made:
Preparation of Ingredients: The main ingredient (vegetables like potatoes, onions, spinach, cauliflower, or eggplant; paneer; or meat) is cut into bite-sized pieces.
Batter Making: A batter is prepared using chickpea flour mixed with water to form a thick, smooth paste. Spices and herbs like cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and sometimes fresh green chilies and cilantro are added to the batter for flavor.
Coating and Frying: The prepared ingredients are dipped into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated, and then deep-fried until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serving: Pakoras are typically served hot with chutneys like mint-coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, or one of my favourite sauces, curry mayo. I usually make my own- a little mayo, yogurt if you have it on hand, lemon juice, garlic, madras curry powder and a little sriracha sauce.
My recipe is a plant-based recipe and makes use of affordable vegetables readily available on PEI.
Vegetable Pakoras
6 cups vegetables, shredded (1 cabbage, 1 onion, 1bunch kale (leaves only), 2-3 carrots)
1 ½ cups besan
½ cup rice flour
2 jalapenos, seeded, small dice
1 cup cilantro, chopped
½ cup mint, chopped
¼ cup ginger, grated
3 Tbsp Garam Masala
3 Tbsp Fenugreek
2 Tbsp Black Mustard Seed
2 Tbsp Cumin Seeds
Salt to taste
Enough ice water to bring together a tight batter; approximately 1-1 ½ cups.
Stir all ingredients to combine. Drop small spoonfuls into oil heated to 350C. Deep fry the pakoras until the vegetables are cooked and the batter is golden brown.
Gobble these crispy treats with reckless abandon!

Dhuska
Dhuska is a popular dish in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a deep-fried, savory rice pancake often served as a snack or breakfast item. Here’s a simple recipe for making Dhuska:
Tumblr media
Ingredients:
1 cup rice (preferably parboiled rice)
1/4 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram)
1/4 cup urad dal (split black gram)
1-inch ginger, finely grated
2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
Salt to taste
Water, as needed
Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
Soaking
Rinse the rice, chana dal, and urad dal together and soak them. Soak them for four to six hours, or overnight, in water.
Grinding
Drain the soaked rice and dal and grind them together into a smooth batter. Add water as needed to achieve a thick, pancake batter consistency.
Seasoning
Add grated ginger, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt to the batter. In order to equally blend the components, mix thoroughly.
Fermentation
Allow the batter to ferment for about 4-6 hours or overnight. Fermentation helps in making the dhuska more flavorful and gives it a slight tanginess.
Deep Frying
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making small pancakes. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Draining Excess Oil
Remove the fried dhuska using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve
Dhuska is typically served with chutney, yogurt, or any sauce of your choice. You can also enjoy it with a cup of tea.
Remember, you can adjust the spice levels and other ingredients according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade dhuska!

The Perfect Fried Thattai Recipe
A minimally spiced crispy flour golden friend round disks are a traditional snack of Tamil Nadu with scrumptious flavours of butter, curry leaves, and sesame seeds in the flour. Let's check out how to prepare crunchy snacks along with sunflower oil manufacturers in Tamilnadu.
Ingredients
Rice flour - 1 cup
Urad dal - 1tbsp
Curry leaves chopped - 1 tbsp
Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
Water as required
Oil for frying
Red chilli powder, as per preference
Salt as per taste
Roasted Chana Dal - 1 tbsp
Butter - 1tbsp
White sesame seeds - 1tsp
Split chana dal - 1tbsp
Preparation
In a bowl, rinse and soak the split chana dal for 45 minutes in warm water.
In medium or low-medium heat a heavy-bottom kadai or saucepan. Once it is heated, add the urad dal and roast it for a few minutes. Don’t let it brown.
Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
In the same pan, fry the rice flour for a few minutes. Check whether the flour is warm. Once it is warm, remove it and set it aside.
In a blender, add the roasted split, chana dal, and urad dal. Grind it until it becomes a fine powder.
Add the ground dal powder, curry leaves, sesame seeds, salt, asafoetida, and red chilli powder to the rice flour. Combine the flour thoroughly to get an even mixture.
Now add the butter and water, and combine them well with the flour.
As you combine, add the soaked channa dal to the dough and mix. Make it into a semi-soft dough as you knead. Let it rest for a few minutes, then divide the dough into small balls.
Now grease a zip-lock bag or piece of parchment paper.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadai at medium or medium-high flame.
Grease your fingers with oil and flatten the ball into a thin round in a greased ziplock bag or on parchment paper.
Fry the rolled-out thattai in the oil by flipping each side till it's crisp and the oil stops sizzling. Remove it from the oil and place it on the kitchen towel.

[ID: First image is a large, shallow dish filled with a bright yellowish orange soup filled with red cabbage and green onion and drizzled with coconut milk. A halved samosa sits in the soup and a plate of samosa is visible in the background. The second image is a close-up on the samosa resting in the soup, showing its deep brown filling. End ID.]
Samusa thouk (Burmese soup with split chickpeas, tamarind, and samosa)
Samusa thouk is a bright, savory, slightly spicy soup often eaten with leftover samusa. The samusa are broken and placed in a bowl, and the soup is then spooned over them.
My recipe makes Burnese samusa that are flavored with turmeric and black mustard seed and made richly sweet with the addition of jaggery—they play beautifully against the tartness of the tamarind in the soup. You may also use Indian samosa from frozen or from take-out.
Recipe under the cut!
Patreon | Tip jar
Ingredients:
8 Burmese samusa
1 Indian bay leaf (tej patta)*
2-3 dried Indian red chilis, broken in half
2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp brown mustard seeds (rai)
1/3 cup neutral oil
1 red onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced (3 Tbsp)
1-inch chunk ginger, minced
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp sweet paprika (optional)
1 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 tsp black peppercorns, toasted and ground
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup besan (chickpea flour)
1/2 cup water
8 cups (2 liters) vegetable stock
1 Tbsp tamarind paste
1/2 cup chana dal (split chickpeas), soaked in cool water for an hour**
1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)
Salt to taste (about 1 1/2 tsp)
Shredded red cabbage, mint, green onion, cilantro, and lemon or lime to serve
*Indian bay leaves are distinct from Turkish or California laurel bay leaves and have a different taste and fragrance. They will be labelled "tej patta" in an Asian or halaal grocery store, and have three vertical lines running along them from root to tip, rather than radiating out diagonally from a central vein. Omit if you don’t have any.
**You may substitute toor dal (split pigeon peas) for chana dal, or use moong dal (yellow lentils) in a pinch. These grams would not need to be soaked. If you have not soaked the chana dal, the cooking time will increase by about 20 minutes.
Instructions:
1. Heat 1/3 cup of a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola, in a large pot on medium.
2. Add bay leaf and dried chilis and fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add cumin and mustard seeds and fry until they are fragrant and popping into the air.
3. Add onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (15-20 minutes).
4. Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add chickpea flour and toast, stirring often, for a few minutes until fragrant and several shades darker. In a mixing bowl, whisk chickpea flour with 1/2 cup water until smooth.
5. Add ginger and garlic to the pot with the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, about 30 seconds until no longer raw-smelling. Add ground spices (turmeric, paprika, coriander, and black pepper) and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add lentils to the pot and toast for 2 minutes.
7. Add tamarind paste, vegetable stock, and chickpea flour mixture and stir to combine. Raise heat to bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
8. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until the dal is tender and cooked through. Add coconut milk, if desired, and salt. Taste and adjust spices.
9. Serve warm over broken samusa. Top with shredded red cabbage and fresh herbs.
