I *love* carrot halwa so much. Oh man!

^ Me too ...but my mom won't make it anymore. The last time I had it was probably 3 years ago?

My brother in law makes amazing carrot halwa. The last time he made it was about seven years ago. He cooks a lot though, dinner is on him most nights. He makes suji halwa every second night I think, and brings a fair share for my mother, who loves anything to do with halwa. The last time I felt like carrot halwa, my sister made it right away. She is superb at sweet dishes.

(Err ... that's a lot of garelu details for you)

^ Me too ...but my mom won't make it anymore. The last time I had it was probably 3 years ago?

seeeeeeeeeeeee now u can make it urself and surprise her... she needs to be treated once a while...:fighting:

^ The week she made it, my cousin passed away khuday de wabakhshi...so she was like zma da halwa pakhe da sakha kraaka kehzhi ..so yeah...

tonight i made "sabzi Chalaw" "Saba and Chalaw" "Spinach and rice"
and da patato korma (korm e kachalo)

i will post the whole steps for everyone... espcially for those who don't know how to cook chalaw and have it come out nice... cooking rice (afghan rice) is an art!

oh and i made patato korma caz angaar doesn't like spinach... so i had to make for him... most people don't like this dish but i make it differently it comes out veryyy delicious... will post it inshallah tomorrow.

Feroza when is new food coming?

inshallah soon... i have been a bit busy with family and been spending alot of time at mom's home and eating there so i haven't cooked lately. but inshallah soon i will be posting more.

Feroza, do you know how to make Leytey?

yea... inshallah will make it and post it.

Feroza we want more

ba chishim :)... inshaAllah will post more soon.

What is leytey?

leytey is oatmeal porridge. it's also what my cousins used to call me when i was a kid. with a "khaam" for a prefix. :(

letai is a variant of halwa its made of white flower fried in allot oil and served with milk i believe/or ''sucha ghwaldi''

Oh dukhtar, be sure to share with us :)

Everyone is going so crazy about Leytey like me:pullinghair:

Everyone is going so crazy about Leytey like me:pullinghair:

I still don't know what it is.:angel1:

Leytey my parent said is something we make when a new baby is born.

thats shera lol

Feroza Banu i had doubt about CarrotHalwa... how its usually made is using milk, and sugar... but while cooking it there is a lot of moisture... milk, sugar leaves water and also carrot has a high moisture content... all this moisture needs to dry up.... but it takes so long that the halwa turns a little dark than its natural colour.....which is then not very appealing when cooked finally than the lovely bright colour of the usual halwa... can u help

^salam alaikum :)

I don't understand why the halwa would turn a little darker than normal. i do understand that there is alot of moisture because of milk, sugar and carrots itself but if u just let it cook and keep stiring it after every 3 to 4 minutes it should be ok. it does take a long time. just make sure to not let the bottom of the pot stick and burn the carrot.

one tip to remember is that: u don't have to use ALOT of milk... u can use little milk enough for the carrots to be done and mostly use cream in it for the flavor. the only reason people add milk alot is for its fat content.. u can reduce milk quantity and use cream. u can even add oil in it.

what type of carrots are u using?

^inshaAllah soon!...

walaikumassalam awo manana Feroza Banu....its the normal juicy carrot i use... and also can khoa/mawa be used instead of milk or can condensed milk be used?

some suggest addition of colour but i dont want to use artificial colour in food.....

looking forward for more tips from u.. u and i share a common hobby....:)

^yes you can use khowa.. and condensed milk too...

hmmm if u are using the regular carrot it shouldn't turn dark... it did turn light in my case... and my mom suggesting adding food coloring and i refused... i don't like adding artificial stuff too...

this is sooooo exciting... i am so glad i have someone with the same hobby as me...

^oh my bad... i missed this one... i am so glad that its ur hobby too *kiss*

^na pahezham... ta mata suggestion raka... chishi pakha kam?

Cook some nice Mantu, Kabuli palow.

I am selfish. cook everything you know and share it with us here.


We all hate you Angaar.

pa dwarro stergoooo zma weenai!... :wub:

^lol... sorry for the delay...

last night i made "bolani of kachalo"... "da patato peeraki" ... i have taken pictures... once angaar edits them i will be uploading them today inshaALlah :)

My God I'm also excited.

^posted :)

I am sooo hungry, I can't even look at those pictures.. mashAllah Feroza, gorgeous food. Can't wait to try some of them, iA. =)

MashaAllah ...laaasuna dih dah jaanaat sah :shy:

Question ..usu my mom makes a lot of bread and then the bolani at the end, so the flour that she sets aside is usu for a few hours ... How long did you set aside the flour for?

Also have you ever allowed the yeast to arise separately and then mixed it in with the flour?

peroza where did you get the bolani cooking pan from and what is it called in english? by the way i had no idea the fillings for bolani had to be be boiled in oil first. i skip that part..does it make a difference?

She says i didnt boil it in oil.. i boiled it in water.. did i make a typo? lol
I just meant to boil the potatoes so its done and ready to be mashed :)

Oh and as far as tabakhai is concerened, It came with a set of Daig from Kitchen Aid. You can refer to this as pan cake pan. Whites make pan cakes on this but if u look in afghan stores you can find it there.. some american stores like ross have them too.
But any pan cake flat pan will work:lal10:
__________________________________________________ ____________







Btw me as AnGaaR had 2 peerakei today.. hela yummy woo:celebrate::celebrate:

you boiled the potatoes and then i think you fried the onion and cilantro in oil..or may be i m confusing it with something else...bolani turns out so good when you use aashgaz to make it. i m too lazy for that.
this amazing pancake cooker must be a life saver. i can only imagine..

by the way, that rice looked so cute...

Feroza says: Ya you are right
i fried the onion and salantro in oil but i really used little oil just for the sake of the onions to be friend because the raw onion will not taste as good.. the best way is to use as much less oil as possible..

keep imagining says: (AnGaaR)


about the rice: Espaseiba and so sweet of u .. she says Zma weenai..

These work well too ... to bake bread or bolani =)

^ It's in her Food thread ...

this is the discussion thread for the food thread ... I'll find it for you right now :|

here you go > http://www.pashtunforums.com/food-31/~*feroza-banus-cooking*~-2906/

zma da zrra sar :)

i set it aside for about 3 hours.

and yes u have to allow the yeast to rise and then mix it in flour but my case i couldn't do it because i had to prepare the dough like 8 oclock at night and cook it like a couple of hours later...

i have to always cook in rush caz i come from work :(

^thank you Aseer Jana...
I try to update it frequently but due to having a busy schedule and also because i don't cook often for my mom cooks food and just calls us to go over there and eat... but whenever i cook i update the forum :)

Thank you. please try to update it as frequently as possible. This is very helpful for people like me who have to cook themselves. I dont think you understand how much this means to me, not everyone knows how to cook Afghan food. The Afghan restaurants in NYC are really expensive so your tutorials here mean the world to me.


Again, Manana

Oh... i am so glad then that all of this can help someone at least... i was really beginning to doubt whether anyone needed recipes or not. caz many people know how to cook ... this really motivates me Aseer Jan ... i will try my best inshaAllah to post more frequently and all types of afghan food so you can just cook it and not have to go to expensive afghan restaurants... i know afghan food is expensive here too... so we usually don't go to restuarant.

thanks again... :)

What do you mean beginnng to doubt? of course we need recipes? when I get married I will make my wife cook everything you have been posting so far or will post in the future.

so try to post this as often as possible. PLEASE!


awww... how cute!....

yes sir... i will inshaALlah

^thank you wror jan :)

^of course i dont mind... since like 14 years of age... but i have older sisters so i cooked only once twice a week...

Feroza I just took a lot at your thread I almost commented in that one lol. I just wanted to thank you. That is all.

^u are welcome :)

keep cooking keep cooking.. some new dishes too.. we like ur thread.. I like it the most caz i get new stuff to eat lol..

zma da zrra sar :)

:wub:

Ah I see!

But even tho you didn't let the yeast rise, it still looks good... sometimes it's good to try these short cuts/ tricks and stuff due to tme.

whip eggs white (120g or more caster sugar) and egg yolks (a few spoons sugars) separately....i tried it with 5 eggs....

Then mix with spoon, add melted butter (150g)....

then mix in plain flour if i can remember 90g and 55 g cornflour...one teaspoon baking powder...using sift...

then mix all together and put in oven at 150-160 degrees if convection oven like fan assisted....and 180 wid normal oven for 30 minutes....

but i think i need one more attempt to make it better

I am not a big fan of eating outside. most of the food is extremely unhealthy and I can not be 100 percent sure about what i eat in every restuarant so i rather cook at home where i know what is going inside my daig... considering how i care about halaal/haram thing.

I do enjoy cooking!... good for my husband lol

Food sounds so good :cryy:

Here are pictures of the cake i made today, after a lot of experimenting i made a cake which is really soft and spongy....

wow
really
thts great

it's nice to see a cake on pashtunforums. Too much religious and ethnic bias makes me mentally exhausted. Wos no dase sha sheen chai sara da yow dwa dana yell ra josh ka..

THE CAKE RECIPE for that cake i showed...

It doesn't matter if its not exact measurement but just get it close to it...

150g Plain flour
30g cornflour
1 teaspoon baking powder
175g castor sugar
175g melted butter
4 eggs
(1 teaspoon vanilla extract if u want)...

The way to do this...

Step 1: Get two bowls, in one put the 4 egg whites with 2/3rd of the sugar
In the other bowl put 4 egg yolks with 1/3rd of the sugar

Beat each one with an electric mixer, till the whites make a peak..and when yolks turn into light yellow colour and mixed properly

Step 2:

Combine the egg yolks and egg whites with spoon

Step 3:

Sift all the dry ingredients (flour, cornflour, baking powder) and mix with spoon properly

Step 4: Add the melted butter and mix till all ingredients are combined and if u want add the vanilla extract...

I used a convection oven, at 170 degrees for around 30 minutes or more....if u using standard oven increase the temperature to maybe 180....and check if cooked by putting a knife through the middle it should come out clean

I will be making rot (afghan rot) inshallah and i will post the recipe.

If you guys see a way to improve my recipe ; then please let me know...

whats afghan rot>?

Something like this.

thanks feroz sis

is that a cake?

^not quite... its not really a cake. it tastes a little bit different. it is something that is very popular amongst afghans. i can't spell it correctly in english but its called something like "roath"

almost all afghan stores have it.

Yea rhot...its like a sweet bread, not like a cake (which contains raising agents)...more like a pizza base which has sugar in it...wat was ur recipe???

i've near heard it before and i didnt even had it :(

im waiting for ur recipe :)

hahah
got it now

root its like sweet bread :P its not cake
lol i used eat it a lot in when i was kid lolz

yea root like root canal

it sounds like that

it sounds more like rot but roooooooooh-t its pronounced

yay!... that is awesome... i am so happy to hear this :hug1"

u are welcome !

^thank you !

Hey Guys... i just added Halwa there... please go check it out! and give me ur feedbacks and ways to improve it.

that is not how i make my halwa... :hmmm: doesn't frying the sugar for it like that make it taste slightly bitter?

^not at all. just dont let it become veryy dark... once it about cherry brown add in the sooji and water/milk. it brings out the color so u don't have to over fry the sooji which could possibly make it taste bitter.

i have been frying the semolina and sugar together for as long as i can remember. i will try this next time and see what happens. thanks for lesson!

^my older sister makes halwa the way you do... yes try this one and see... let me know how it turned out

ur welcome :hug:

Ok this was delicious halwa! I usually don't even like halwa made with sooji but this was so good. Very different from the how my mother in law makes it. Their halwa is grainier ... this has a completely different texture.

^I am so glad u tried it and u liked it... yay!...

I have had the grainier halwa too but i like this texture better because i feel like its the halwa is cooked!...

oh AND stay tuned... i will add recipe for "gosh e feel" ... elephant ear and u can make this and surprise your in laws :)

Can't wait!

Gosh e feel is added... you guys check it out! :)

thanks for posting recipes..

Salam alaikum… Let’s make halwa.

Halwa is made differently by everyone. You can cook it different ways. Today I would like to share this recipe I use to make halwa and it turns out very delicious. I use dried fruits because I really like dried fruits in halwa.

This is what you need:

Use a Glass for measurement and keep using the same glass when measuring the flour (sooji), sugar, and oil.


1 Glass Sooji Flour
1 ½ Glass Sugar (Full glasses, or you can add more later on if you desire)
¾ Glass Oil. Make sure u use enough oil.
2 cups of mixed dried fruits. (Green raisons, pistachio, almonds).
Rose water (1 table spoon).
Cardamom.
4 glasses of water (u can use 4 glasses of milk too instead of water, it comes out so good with milk)

How to make:

Take one glass of Sooji Flour in a bowl and add in 4 glasses of water or milk.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102112.jpg

Take a pan and add oil.

This is the glass I used.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102117.jpg

Let the oil temperature rise and then add ½ glass of sugar. Don’t stir don’t mix, don’t touch. Just let it cook in oil to change its color. Like this.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102121.jpg

Now in hot oil pour the sooji that you soaked in 4 glasses of water.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102122.jpg

Mix it.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102123.jpg

Keep stiring it every two minutes and let it cook

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102124.jpg

Add the dried fruits when u see that it is almost cooked.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102115.jpg

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102125.jpg

Add cardamom and rose water.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102126.jpg

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102127.jpg

When you see all the water has evaporated, and halwa is sticky put it on dam on very low heat

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102128.jpg

Result:

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z247/AfG2KaBuL/Halwa/290820102129.jpg

I served with Parata:

Tips to remember:


Be very careful when pouring the sooji soaked in water in hot oil. Don’t burn urself.
Keep stirring it very often to make sure the bottom of the pan doesn’t burn.
Keep it for dam only about 15 minutes on low heat.
Add in shredded coconut for extra flavor


how comes the final product dont look like halwa?

ghilzai Feroza is going to kill you for starting a discussion in this thread.

I didn't start a discussion, I asked her about the heat settings of the recipe...

This thread will make someone really happy.

ummm.. thats looks lovely, My mum love watching these cooking shows etc lol.

I think I am going to try to make the roat.

^lol... zoya, walaka me zda wei!... der awsila ghwarri da...

^lol... zoya, walaka me zda wei!... der awsila ghwarri da...


what kind of of manchy?

informative cooking update

feroza_banu, what is sooji flour? the last halwa recipe is similar to how i make it, though less oil and is an indian style. i use semolina.
unfortunately, we don't get okra here and i love them. the recipe with the lamb sounds delish.

you are supposed to discuss it here http://www.pashtunforums.com/food-31/feroza-banus-cooking-discussion-thread-2907/index28.html
and suji is semolina

Can the mods bring the discussion posts from the sticky thread to this one please...?

pretty please?

Thanks
