Today's Menu

-
I have decided that I will write a daily menu. That way it will give you some idea what dishes go with what.





Today's dinner consisted of chicken khalankal with sweet peppers and onions and soor with mozzarella and basil. Chicken khalankal can be served with rice as well. Soor is also known as cornmeal or grits.
Using chicken stock instead of water really makes this dish extraordinary. A family friend, who is a food expert commented that my soor was the best that he has ever tasted.

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2. This delicious Ramadan favorite comes out nice and flaky. Wrappers can be made in advance and frozen. Makes 32 large sambusa/samosa 5 cups flour + extra for rolling 2 ts. salt 1/2 cup oil + extra for rolling 2 cups water oil for frying 1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. 2. Knead until a smooth dough is formed. 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. 4. Knead for 2 minutes and then divide the dough into 16 pieces. 5. Press down each piece to form a 3 inch circle. 6. Coat the top with oil and sprinkle with flour. 7. Make 8 stacks with 2 in each stack. 8. Press down to try to keep them equal in size. 9. Flatten with a rolling pin until each stack is about 10 inches. 10. Heat a pan on low heat. 11. Place the stacked circles in the pan. (You don't want to cook the...
