Grilled Cheese Sandwich

[whentherewerebicycles]

omg this basil-ginger veggie stir fry with braised tofu was INCREDIBLE I can see this becoming a staple in my quick weekly dinner rotation. I used this recipe but doubled the sauce (except for the sugar), added a bunch of extra veggies + ginger + red pepper flakes + scallions, and made the tofu in the air fryer (my beloved). YUMMMMMMM. I want to check some labels as I suspect that the sauce mix might have a lot of sneaky added sugar (how else could it be soooo rich and decadent) but yeah this one is a KEEPER.

Rice Kheer

Rice Kheer, also known as Chawal ki Kheer, is a traditional Indian rice pudding delicacy. Made by simmering rice in milk and sweetening it with sugar, this creamy dessert is often flavored with cardamom, saffron, and garnished with nuts such as almonds and pistachios. It is a popular dish served during festivals, celebrations, and special occasions, cherished for its rich, comforting taste and aromatic spices.

Dairy Free Kheer by Sheniz

We are days away from the book launch of "Cooking Up Feminism" and right in the midst of welcoming Spring with Nowruz (Persian New Year) and Ramzan | Ramadan, 2023. Let's celebrate with a beautiful bowl of Kheer. I invited Nature Artist and Poet, Sheniz Janmohamed - who has guest-facilitated for "Cooking Up Feminism" - to submit her dairy-free recipe of this beloved sweet dish, enjoyed in a variety of unique ways in countries across South Asia.

When I was growing up, kheer (Indian rice pudding) was my favourite dessert. While it wasn’t a dessert we made at home, it was one I always ordered when we went out for special meals or occasions. There was something about the first spoonful of rich, creamy kheer that enlivened all my senses and awakened the nostalgia of my ancestral homeland— India. When I switched over to non-dairy alternatives, I missed the familiarity and decadence of kheer. It was during one of the silent retreats with my Teacher that I was introduced to a healthier, vegan version of rice pudding, singing with notes of cinnamon.

Dairy Free Kheer by Sheniz

During the pandemic, I’d make myself warm bowls of kheer, sit by the window and watch chickadees flit about the trees. It was a small comfort on long, dark days of uncertainty. It brought me back home, and hugged me in the reminder that even though I felt alone, I wasn’t. I had the recipes of my ancestors and teachers at my very fingertips. ~ Sheniz

Ingredients:

1 cup of basmati rice 1 cup of unsweetened oat milk 2-3 tbs of honey or agave syrup 1 tsp of vanilla extract 3-5 stems of saffron 1 tbs of cardamom powder 1 tbs of rosewater A sprinkle of cinnamon A sprinkle of nutmeg

Garnish:

2 tsps of slivered almonds or pistachios 1 tsp of edible rose petals

Steps:

Soak a cup of basmati rice for about 10 minutes. Rinse it of stones and husks.

Boil rice and strain, setting aside for later.

Heat a cup of oat milk in a pot on medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Swirl in 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup. Add according to your sweet tooth :)

Scatter in 3 - 5 stems of saffron and stir until the mixture turns a pale golden hue.

Add in 1 tablespoon of cardamom powder.

Sprinkle in cinnamon and nutmeg.

Swirl in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add rice and lower temperature to medium.

Stir gently until it achieves the consistency and taste you like— you can add in more milk or hot water if you want it runnier.

Gently stir in one tablespoon of rosewater before garnishing— rosewater tends to get lost in cooking, so it’s best to add at the last stage before serving.

Garnish with crushed edible rose petals and nuts, then serve.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, sweet recipe with our community, Sheniz! Stay tuned as we launch "Cooking Up Feminism" in book form on March 25th, 2023.

Banana Buns

Most of them would mistake this recipe as Poori, there is a difference between a traditional Poori and Banana Buns. Banana Buns are sweet in taste and its texture is rubberier and flakier from inside. It has a thick texture just like bread or buns. The sweet taste is not just because of ripped banana but also sugar which is added in the ingredients.

cooking terayaki tempeh

I’ve been adventurous with my cooking lately. My most daring exploits earlier meant adding extra garlic to the spaghetti sauce, but not anymore. I’m improving my cooking and trying new recipes. So, when I stumbled upon a recipe for tempeh teriyaki, I thought, “Why not? How hard could it be?” Spoiler alert: it was hard. It began with a trip to Trader Joe’s. Now, I had heard of tempeh before, but…
