haha theres not really a recipe. i took the filet and rubbed a little bit of the shan chicken tikka spice mix thing on both sides. then i cooked it in a pan on the stove over low/medium heat with a tiny bit of olive oil. when it was in the pan i sprinkled some sumak and salt on top. then i waited 2-3 minutes then flipped it over and poured some lemon juice on the cooked side. another 3 minutes or so and it was done

lol i dont know if you'd think it tastes weird since youre desi and know what it actually should taste like...haha but i liked it!

its an arab spice...im not sure what it is in english. it doesnt have a strong flavor at all, just a tiny bit sour...so im sure it would taste exactly the same if you left it out haha.

if it helps at all, its purple/dark red in color

My dad brought home some fresh fish steaks from the Korean market. Two fish heads and tails came in the bag too. It was kind of creepy

WAAAHOOO!!! I tried out this "baked fried chicken" recipe, made a few additions and subtractions of my own and it has turned out sooooo good alhamdulillah, mashallah.

here's a pic, ill post the recipe later if anyone wants it...right now i'm off to devour it with yellow tomato rice

edit: the veggies are onions, green peppers, peas and corn. Random, I know

I think I know what you're talking about. Is it sometimes sprinkled on top of hummus? I had hummus today and there was this spice on top in the same colors as you described.
