Happiness is getting a surprise from your favourite bread bakers. Crumbs The Bakers. Thank you! You made my day! May Allah add a ton of barakah to your setup!
If you don't already order from them you need to start!

Their sourdough is an absolute delight! These guys are not just skilled but genuinely passionate about their craft, and it shines through in every loaf they produce. Each bite of their sourdough bread is a testament to the labor of love that goes into their baking.

The taste is simply unparalleled; it's the best sourdough you'll find around. The crust has that perfect crispy texture, and the inside is moist and full of flavor. It's clear that they take their time to perfect the fermentation process, resulting in a bread with a wonderful tangy flavor and a beautiful, chewy crumb.

I can't help but hope that this fantastic bakery expands to Islamabad soon so that more people can experience the joy of their sourdough. If you're a bread lover like me, this bakery is an absolute must-visit. You won't find better sourdough anywhere else!

Soups for the soul series: Pumpkin Soup

This pumpkin soup is truly exceptional! Its rich and creamy texture, along with the natural pumpkin flavor, requires minimal ingredients to create a satisfying, full-flavored dish. While fancier variations have their place, this straightforward recipe remains my go-to for a delicious and easy-to-make pumpkin soup. The key to enhancing its taste lies in the simple addition of onion and garlic, elevating it to a can't-stop-eating-it level of deliciousness. Don't forget to pair it with some crusty bread for a perfect meal!

Series: Give peas a chance!
Matar Palao

A classic Matar pulao is as OG as any rice dish gets in South Asia. Matar means “peas” in Urdu. Pilaf/Pulao/Pilav is essentially a generic rice dish, where the rice is cooked in any type of broth or stock. The broth is flavored by adding whole spices, vegetables and sometimes protein (like meat, fish, chicken).
A matar palao (pea Pilaf) was a family favourite at my dado's. Its a lovely vegetarian flavourful dish that can be had on its own with a raita & salad. Or can be devoured with a curry.

Ps. It's an absolute joy opening the pot & seeing each separate long grain of fluffy rice!

Bihari Qeema or Dum ka Qeema has long been on my culinary bucket list. That is my personal list of dishes that I want to learn how to make - from scratch. For the longest time I was convinced Bihari Qeema is one of those dishes that I used to think you needed a spice mix for. I have since discovered that you can make it quite well with some spices and a grinder. Far less complicated than I thought it would be.

Indulge in the delightful Bihari Qeema, a mesmerizing blend of spicy, smoky flavors complemented by the invigorating essence of corriander and the robustness of ginger. Paired with soft, flaky parathas, this irresistible combination will leave you craving for more!

Happy Eating!

What are mayak eggs?
Mayak Gyeran (마약계란) is the Korean name for these Korean soy sauce jammy eggs. The literal translation is Korean is "drug eggs", thanks to their addictive flavors! Rest assured, there are no actual drugs in these eggs.

This Korean dish is similar to ramen eggs, which are soy sauce eggs. They originate from Japan. Unlike Mayak Eggs, ramen eggs are marinated in a soy sauce mixture but are not spicy or sweet.

The recipe

Ingredients
• 6 large eggs room temperature or cold
• 2 teaspoon salt for boiling the eggs
• 2 teaspoon white vinegar for boiling the eggs
Marinade
• ½ cup regular soy sauce
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup honey or white/brown sugar or maple syrup
• ¼ cup onion finely diced
• 1-2 red chili pepper or green chilli, finely diced (or red/green bell pepper for mild)
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
Optional Garnish:
• green onions finely chopped
• seaweed flakes
• sesame oil toasted
INSTRUCTIONS
• Bring a small pot of water to boil on high heat. Add salt and vinegar. Gently lower eggs. Boil for 6 mins for room temperature eggs or 7 minutes for cold eggs, uncovered. For hard boiled eggs, boil for 10 minutes.
• Prepare a large bowl with enough water and ice cubes.
• Remove the eggs from boiling water. Transfer to ice-water bath to cool down completely.
• Meanwhile in a container, combine Marinade ingredients as listed and mix well. Ensure the honey or sugar dissolves fully.
• Gently peel cooled eggs (Tip: crack the eggs with the back of the spoon and use spoon to help me lift off the shell starting at the bottom of the egg where there is a gap between the egg and shell). Set aside.
• Place eggs into marinade. Optional: Place plastic wrap on top of the eggs to push them deeper into the marinade for a more even brown color. Cover container with lid and let this rest in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight.
• Enjoy over rice with suggested garnishes.
