Tuscan Garlic Chicken was really good but also very heavy due to heavy cream. I also think i fried/baked the chicken a lil to much, cuz it was a lil tough to cut into pieces. Overall, a good dish.

assalamu alaykum

chicken drumsticks, with cardamom- my current favourite. The cardamon, not the chicken. HATE chicken now, alhamdulilah. I simply eat whatever the chicken comes with, be it the biryani rice or the vegetables. Making sharba tomorrow insha Allah, a soup with small chicken pieces, chickpeas and small pasta pieces, topped with dried mint at the end.

yesterday i made salmon with rice simmered in chicken broth/cumin/turmeric and addded cooked lentils at the end. i also made pickled indian eggplants. its those tinnyyy eggplants. just boil them till the they turn squishy, drain, adn let cool. while thats going, you finely chop a bunch of garlic and squueze lime juice in them. enough so that you can see the juice. then put a bit of salt, pepper and red chili flakes. mix it up. then, the eggplants you make a slit in them lengthwise, being careful not to slice them in half. then, just open it up and put a tablespoon of the garlic/lime stuffing in them. (or more, just stuff that shizz good). then you put them in a container, tupperware or whatever and fridge it. eat it with whatever.

for the salmon:

marinade: chopped parsley, garlic with juice of a lemon, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar (or regular vinegar). i marinated that overnight, but you dont gotta do that. i think an hour, half an hour would do.

then, take a sauce pan big enough to fit the salmon and put 1/4 cup sauce (spaghetti sauce or whatever taste you like) and put in a handful of snow peas (make sure you take the thread looking things out of them). then, put the salmon inside along with the marinade and top it off with sliced mushrooms. cover and cook on medium heat about 15-20 min. you can adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

the rice: i used a cup of rice and 2 cups of chicken broth. bring chicken broth to a boil. then put the rice in. sprinkle with turmeric and cumin powder (if you have coriander powder, put that in too.) then cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 min or until rice is done.

then, i chopped up some red bell pepper and mixed it in the rice and boiled some black lentils (with salt, pepper) and put that in too. not so much. just like half a bell pepper and half a cup of lentils.

yumm

I was wondering if you could help me with a problem. What is the secret to cooking eggplant? I've tried many times, but it always ends up a soggy, greasy mess or it tastes real rubbery.

Any suggestions?

my parents grill it and bell peppers then layer it in a pan with ground beef and a bunch of tomato sauce. then you bake it for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees. I think its called moosaka?

that sounds yummmm!!

I can't wait for my dad to come back home, so then he can plant eggplants in our garden out back . Then, I can try that recipe. And eggplant goulash [haha, is that even what you call it?] is good!

Yesterday, I cooked tuna desi-style and a mish-mash of veggies - green beans, cauliflower, and green bell peppers; it came out yummy, surprisingly .

I got a job working in a restaurant kitchen... we cook lots of different things everyday.
And all the chicken/beef is halal and I get free food.

But now if I bring stuff home, my mom's like "Did you make this?"

I can never open/close those things, the lids are really heavy. I always have a brother at hand when I'm using a PC.
