  • Meethi Tikiyaan. Sweet Fritters nubbed with cardamom seeds and scented with saffron. Making them is an art and when done right there is nothing else like them. Have you had them? Made them? I made some recently for a niaz at our house and made two rookie mistakes - despite my own clear instructions I didn’t add the milk as slowly as I should 🤦🏽‍♀️ and tried a brand of ghee I hadn’t used before 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ although in my blog post I emphasize how important the ghee is (@thegheeshoppe next time I’m hitting you up). My hasty silliness aside would you guys like to see a step by step in my stories? Drop a line and let me know! . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #meethitikiyan #pakistanifood #rajab #dessert #feedfeed #onethirdfood #expresstribune #dawndotcom
  • Can I tell you something? Ok two things. One: I make crappy chai. Let’s chalk it down to years of coffee drinking shall we? If I offer to make you regular chai you’re wise to pass unless it’s Kashmiri - the 2.5 hour one I’ve got down 😂 Phitti Hui Coffee (pictured)? Yes please! But chai is not my forte. Now thing two: when Instagram went down last week I didn’t even notice. I know, I know - you’re shocked. So many people messaged to ask me if my IG was working properly and I had no idea what they were talking about. I was in Chicago living the good life, hanging with my mama, being fed by the amazing @maliharizvi15 (who makes great chai) and trying to unsuccessfully convince @salmerizvi she loves me more than my brother who apparently hasn’t called in a decade. Basically doing normal stuff and it felt so so good. I’ve started thinking a lot recently about how sharing on Instagram can get in the way of real life sometimes and how that impacts our kids. IG friends is this something you think about? I’d love to hear your opinions over some chai (I kid, coffee). Drop me a line here and share!
  • Have you guys made haray moong ki daal before? I hadn’t but when I saw @mumsthewordpk make it I was intrigued. She’s sharing a demo on her stories today - check it out! Also question: when it was fresh I felt like the seasoning was on point but later on in the evening I had to adjust the salt and chilli. Has anyone else had this happen before? . . . . . #pakistanifood #daal #comfortfood #delish #mumsthewordpk #pakistanibloggers #torontobloggers #lunch #feedfeed
  • The problem with having two homes is that a part of your heart is always somewhere else. On my sunnier days I can flip that around, but the last few weeks haven’t felt so sunny. Perhaps it’s the winter blues, perhaps it’s the not having seen my father and sibling for two years, perhaps it’s the little things that keep going wrong, or perhaps it’s the sum of it all. The last few weeks have felt heavy and I am torn between feeling silly admitting it and feeling silly posting chirpier things. Am usually an onward and forwards kinda girl so I’m going to recalibrate to that. Right after I have breakfast. Pictured: Khageena, one of my standard breakfasts when I’m in Karachi. Thank you for reading friends ❤️ . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #pakistanifood #delish #pakistan #comfortfood #breakfast #pakistanibloggers
  • {Can I get your thoughts?} So.... Breakfast Bowls intimidate me. They’re so beautiful with their assortment of perfectly cut fruit, gorgeous texture from this seed and that. While I’d love to eat like that it’s just not doable for me. I like simpler things, more doable things. It’s the same with my diet. I am a everything in moderation person. Give up carbs? No thanks. No dairy? Hard pass. Instead I like little changes, like using Greeniche Maple Flavorall in my yogurt. It’s a natural low calorie sweetener and who doesn’t love Maple?!! I tend to Maple everything since I moved to Canada and it seems only appropriate to end flag month on a Maple note! What’s one little thing you do for a healthier lifestyle? Share tips!!!! . . #sponsored #greenichenaturalhealth #breakfast #breakfastbowl #healthy #delish #torontobloggers #igerstoronto #pakistanibloggers
  • Guys. The other day I made the Kahwa for Kashmiri Chai (recipe on blog and Instagram highlights). It takes over 2 hours. By the time it was done it was late so I made a small amount to taste it then forgot to put it in the fridge. The next day it has become almost black. Sad doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt.
  • I think Hakka food is honorary desi food. Agree (👍🏼) or disagree (👎🏼). Beef Chilli Dry recipe on the blog. Kinda wish it was in my belly but.... 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #hakka #pakistanifood #indianfood #delish #igpakistan #pakistanibloggers
  • Quick poll folks. Who has had pulao or biryani this week? Show of hands please! One pot pulaos are awesome and my kid friendly one is more popular than I am. This new one was shy - intimidated by its competitor - but here it finally is, a Hyderabadi Chicken Pulao with lovely traditional pulao flavours and one pot convenience. Happy Weekend Folks! . . . . . #igpakistan #pakistan #pakistanifood #delish #bajiascooking #flourandspiceblog #dawndotcom #onethirdfood
  • I have this thing for broth-y soups. This Chicken and Rice Soup with Chillies is right up my alley with it’s notes of ginger and lemongrass. Perfect for those of us battling stuffy noses and heavy heads. . . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #soup #f52grams #igtoronto
  • My husband loves chocolate chip cookies. Our kids love chocolate chip cookies. I love chocolate chip cookies. Bake a huge batch and we are done for. In the interest of all our overall health here is a recipe for One Dozen Chocolate Chip Cookies. In the interest of tired winter hating folks world over all you need to make it are a 🥣. Whose got the energy to bring out the mixer anyway? Sending you all loads of love and warm melty chocolate-ness on this Valentines Day. Psst the recipe is up on the blog and the link is in my profile! . . . . #flourandspiceblog #chocolatechipcookies #cookies #delish #feedfeed #f52grams #comfortfood
  • About to make some Anday Aaloo ka Salan and pretend like it’s Lasagna. If you smile awkwardly at the camera enough it will happen. Right?!? @mumsthewordpk I blame you for this craving. Thanks and no thanks . . . . #flourandspiceblog #foodblogger #torontoblogger #igtoronto #pakistanibloggers #igpakistan
  • Dear Buttermilk, Why did I forget you at the store? Didn’t I know it was going to snow this week and Cheesy Jalapeño Biscuits would soothe my winter weary soul? If you loved me you’d come. Sincerely, Sarah ... and winter gloom kicks in. Whose feeling the mega blahs this week? . . . #flourandspiceblog #biscuits #buttermilk #foodie #comfortfood #feedfeed #delish #recipe
