  • Deciding what to cook sometimes seems like the hardest thing doesn’t it? You may know how to cook all the things - or have an aunty on speed dial who does - but deciding what can cause all kinds of oofh feelings. Obviously said with energetic frustration. @teaforturmeric and I have got your back though with our Free Dinner Party Menu Cheat Sheet - it’s got the basic formula down so you don’t have to stress again! Linking it in my stories and on my IG profile! . . . . #freebie #flourandspiceblog #teaforturmeric #parties #dawat #southasian #indian #pakistani #eid #ramadan
  • My Chipotle Stuffed Jalapeños say hi. That’s also about all they can say because they don’t tend to last very long at parties. what’s inside? Deliciousness. Chicken (or black beans), cream cheese, chipotle peppers, scallions and corn and it’s all baked with this crunchy topping and so good right out of the oven. Feeling extra naughty? Top with shredded cheese beside who doesn’t swoon over those crunchy cheese bubbles?!! Recipe is up on the blog and I’ll share the link in my profile! . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #jalapenos #appetizers #fingerfood #ramadan #eid #delish #torontoblogger
  • What’s on your counter? I always have flowers, a @bathandbodyworks candle, and my salt and pepper holder from @chaptersindigo on mine. And a yellow oil bottle but that didn’t seem quite gram worthy 😂 what are three things (apart from appliances) that you like having and one that is a necessary evil? Also 80% of the time I think the word “Phool” in Urdu I automatically go to the song phoolon ka taaron ka 😂 do you know it? . . . #flourandspiceblog #torontoblogger #foodblogger
  • {#Ad } Guys - you know I’m all about moderation and the little changes. @greenichenaturalhealth Boncare is right up my alley. Do you know what Boncare is? It’s basically the nutrient rich Ajwa date seed ground up! I love that it’s a simple natural ingredient that is an antioxidant you can use in so many ways to add a little nutritional (and fibre!) boost to your day! Pictured here: Breakfast Cookies, a Green Smoothie and Overnight Oats. Let me know if you want a recipe for the breakfast cookies? Methinks they’re still a bit of a treat, but whose complaining 😆 . . . . . . #greenichenaturalhealth #greeniche #boncare #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #ramadan #fasting #muslimahblogger #torontoblogger
  • Hellooooo friends! Have you ever had the Halal Cart Chicken and Rice in NY? I had it an endless number of times as a college kid, but haven’t since so I just must confess something: I don’t know if this is exactly the same. What I do know is that it is amazing and I’ve probably fed it to everyone I know at some point! It’s got a few components but they’re easy enough to do and that flavorrrrrr 😍😍😍 I will forever be grateful to @maryams.gram for this recipe! . . . . . #halal #flourandspiceblog #chickenandrice #halalcart #ramadan #torontoblogger #foodporn #happy
  • Hey friends - tell me sometime, do you guys like to mix it up when you’re cooking or stick to the classics? I think it depends on my mood but no matter what mood I am in these little Chicken Tandoori Masala Bites hit the spot. Are they making you hungry? Me too. When @kissaninternational sent me their Tandoori Masala and Tikka Masala to try the first thing I did was obviously to eat the masala because you know how else would I know if I like it!?! Once that was sorted (👌🏽) I wanted to have a little fun and what’s more fun than these cuties! I just cut out little pie crust circles and cooked chicken as per instructions, piled it on with some lettuce, green chutney, onions, and that tangy squeeze of lemon and ate half the plate. Luckily I squeezed in some photos before that 😉 These would be so fun to make for chai for friends or at your eid shindig or as an addition to your iftar table! Also the folks at Kissan get bonus points from me for using Beet Powder for their “colour” in the Tandoori Masala. ———————— Wanna try it? You should. My friends at Kissan know we are desi and love a deal (lol) and are sharing a 10% discount code for their Kissan Tandoori Masala Natural and Kissan Tikka Masala on Amazon.Ca. Simply put in FlourSpice10 and you’re good to go! . . . . #flourandspiceblog #sponsored #kissaninternational #tandoorimasala #kissan #bbq #kissantandoori #kissancanada #pakistanifood #indianfood #ramadan #eid

  • Guys. Let’s have some real talk. Ramzan is hard. I love how the narrative has changed and people are focusing more and more on the blessings and opportunities this month brings, but when it comes down to it fasting is what it is because it is a challenge for our bodies. If you’re an emotional eater like me then it’s probably a bit of a challenge for your soul too 😬 Today feels good, but today is the first fast and I know with time it can take a toll. The thing that I struggle with most when I am trying to make it through long fasts is how to really get the most out of this month. As a mother I’ve got activities for the kids lined up thanks to @ramadanjewels now and @craft.it.kit mini eid countdown (whenever it’s out!) but when all is said and done except for the big nights towards the end it’s business as usual. Are you guys like me or have you found a way to achieve a different balance? I’d love to hear your thoughts! . . . . #muslimahblogger #ramadan #torontoblogger #pakistaniblogger #ramzan
  • I posted that I am making Pakora Mix a few hours ago and already ten of you have made it! Thank you thank you thank you!! This is another one of my Mama Jafri (my mother) cooking hacks and makes it super easy to make just a few pakoras at a time! Ok I’m gonna stop using exclamation marks now and just share that I’m adding the link to my Instagram profile ☺️ . . . . #flourandspiceblog #pakistanifood #indianfood #ramadan #ramzan #pakoras #comfortfood #igerstoronto #igpakistan #dawndotcom
  • Can you guess what this is? It’s ok - it’s not super obvious. I took another page out of my mothers book and batch cooked some salan (curry) masala to tide me through Ramadan. Now I’ll just warm it up, add the meat and walk away until it’s time to add the finishing touches. Did I just halve the active time of desi cooking? Why I believe I did 😆 Recipe on the blog and link in profile! . . . #flourandspiceblog #curry #instantpot #batchcooking #pakistanifood
  • Show of hands - how many of you have an ice cream maker? Just give me a ✋🏼. I recently discovered a thing called Hazelnut Milk - it’s ice cream made with milk, the texture is icier, but with flavour like this I ain’t complaining about this low fat indulgence! Totally perfect for end of the day, in my Jammies, on the couch watching mediocre TV. #chhotichhotikhushiyan Recipe from @flourbakeryandcafe cookbook . . . . #flourandspiceblog #torontoblogger #icecream #foodpic
