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.

 BismEm



Here are some excellent vermicelli desserts that are considered the speciality of Eid -al-Fitr in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and perhaps also in Iran.

For those of you who don't know what vermicelli means, it's something very simple.  Vermicelli is basically pasta in long, thin strands, thinner than spaghetti .. like a thin wire.  And like spaghetti, you need to break it up into 2-inch (or so) bits before cooking it.  In Urdu, vermicelli is called 'sewai.'  LOL .. hope I pronounced it right.  Learning from sisters .. me the typical Arab  Grin


Before you start reading these recipes, beware, these aren't health foods but are really high in calories.  So, if you're a weight watcher, forget about this post and move ahead  Grin

Add milk with sliced dry dates and cook on simmer till the dates are tender and the mixture looks thick & creamy. Add sugar and when the sugar dissolves add saffron, almonds and pistachio. Chill and serve in small dessert bowls.


SPECIAL SHEER QORMA

½ cup vermicelli
¼ cup almonds, blanched, fried and ground
¼ cup pistachios, fried and ground
½ tsp saffron, crushed
1 tsp cardamom powder, levelled
1 tsp cooking oil, heaped

½kg sugar made into syrup with 1½ cup water
1 cup cooking oil
1kg fresh milk
8 small cardamoms, crushed or ground
1/8 tsp yellow food colour
1 tbsp kewra essence (same as saffron essence)
Saffron
Sliced almond/pistachio

Method
Fry the vermicelli in oil till it is dark golden, quickly add milk and cook on medium high flame for 3-4 minutes (maybe a bit longer) till the milk dries. Now add the prepared syrup with colour, saffron and cardamom. When the sugar syrup dries up remove from heat. To serve garnish with sliced almonds/pistachios.


VERMICELLI ZARDA


Ingredients
250g or 4 oz vermicelli
200g or 1 cup sugar
250g or 1 cup milk
½ cup cooking oil, levelled
3 white cardamoms
¼ cup instant wholemilk powder or barfi, broken into pieces
Yellow/orange food colour
Almond/pistachio

Method
Heat oil in a pot and brown the vermicelli then quickly add the milk. When the milk dries up, add sugar and when the sugar dissolves add powder milk or barfi, cardamom, food colour, almond, pistachio and leave on very low heat for about 10 minutes till the vermicelli is soft and well-cooked.


* Please note:  In actual traditional style preparation of these recipes, either butter or hydrogenated oil (ghee in Urdu) is used.  But that would make it just too detrimental for health.  So I have mentioned the use of corn or canola oil instead.

Great stuff Sister Heba.  really love these vermicelli variations.  have tried the regular sheer qorma many times.  InshAllah will try out the others too.

Btw, mistakenly you've posted this in the humor board.  I'm sure you meant to put it up at the food court.  I'll move it there.
