Mac and Cheese!

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Ayesha Sheharyar

If I was a cartoon character, I’d be Jerry. Yes Jerry from the good ole Tom and Jerry. Not because I’m too clever by half (that too) but because I adore cheese. I’ll even fight menacing cats and huge dogs to get to a nicely treated chunk of Swiss cheese. Or any kind of cheese for that matter. Cheddar cheese for example is another Swiss cheese for me. Forgive me cheese connoisseurs for saying that. I really am basic when it comes to explaining my choices. While preparing a pizza, lasagna,mac n cheese etcetera etcetera I do pop a huge chunk of cheese in my mouth. I roll it around till the tang settles deeply into my taste buds. Then I chew it bit by bit. My canines, molars and premolars gnawing cheerfully. I savor my cheese to the last particle. Then, I lick my lips in a classic 80’s villain faced-with-pitiful-victim style . A suitable end to a lovely odyssey.

Mac N’ Cheese Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup boiled and shredded chicken
2 cups cheddar
1/4 packet macaroni boiled
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 tsp oregano
salt to taste
1 tsp black pepper powdered

2 tbsp all purpose flour
3 tbsp + 1 tbsp butter

Spicy Spaghetti And Lazy Days

Posted on November 23, 2013 by Ayesha Sheharyar

There’s always one Saturday night when I’m up late and the rest of the house is asleep. Inevitably I get hungry, and I want something instantly. No, I won’t order something from Pizza Hut or Nandos. Because when I do that, I fall asleep after placing the order. I am terrible at waiting 😛 Someone else has to get up from their dear sleep, and get the food in. I’d rather go to the kitchen and make my supper spicy spaghetti. I can’t say enough about them. I love them and will have them any time.Especially with a side dish of mash potatoes! Sharing my recipe here!

What you need for it

Half a packet spaghetti- Boiled
1 capsicum finely chopped
1 carrot finely chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
1/2 cabbage finely chopped
A few spring onions chopped
1 cup boiled shredded chicken
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 can pureed tomatoes
2 tsp red chili powder
1 tbsp black pepper ground
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup chili sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp cornflour
vegetable oil to fry

How to go about it

Take a large pan and heat oil in it
On a low heat add the spring onions,capsicum,carrot,onion,and cabbage. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes
Add the shredded chicken to the pan and stir.
Add pureed tomatoes to the pan. stir. Add all the spices,sauces and vinegar and stir them into the material in the pan.
Put cornflour in cooled chicken stock and mix with a spoon. (Warning: putting it in hot stock will curdle cornflour)
Add the cornflour/stock mixture to the pan and stir.
Lastly add boiled spaghetti to the pan and mix them into all the fried material. Fry every thing for 5-7 minutes

Your super spicy spaghetti is ready. The more you make them, the less time it will take. I take maximum half an hour to put the deal together. I love the hot and sour-ness of these!
