November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Sorry for always thinking about food  Grin  but it's my weakness ..

Sister Zeynab would know about 'zarda' (sweet rice) very well.  But for everyone else who browse here, ever heard of sweet rice?  The ususal concept of rice is a dish seasoned with spices and salt.   And dessert made with rice brings the picture of rice cooked in evaporated milk (known as 'kheer' in Urdu).  But if none of you have heard of another kind of rice dessert called 'zarda,' well, here it is. 

Zarda is not a very rich dessert, however, it's a formal one and usually prepared on occasions such as weddings and large parties. 

Best of all, I have the recipe on YouTube, so it will be ever so easy to follow.  You can see, it's a simple dessert with simple ingredients requiring short cooking time.



Variations:  If you want, you can omit garnishing the Zarda with those broken white pieces of sweets or mithais.  Instead garnish it with some extra nuts and raisins or simply don't garnish at all because the nuts you mix with the Zarda while cooking give a good appearance.

O my Allah!  lovely.  I adore zarda.  but never knew how to prepare it.  This is good info.  I recall during my 4 or 5 yrs of stay in Pakistan in 1980s, I had eaten this dessert quite often.  Really fantastic! 

Thanks sis. 

And btw - 'food lover sis'  Cheesy  there's another great Pak dish called 'yakhni pulao' i.e. rice with lamb or chicken where rice is cooked in the meat stock.  Can u put up that recipe pls.  I'm dying to cook it but don't know the method at all.  If u can put it up through youtube, like this one, it will be easier for me to understand.

thanks again sister  Smiley
