RECIPE: Pakora Dipping Sauce
I've always loved Pakora! Especially during Ramadan.
But I always felt it was missing a sauce or something. So I did my research and found that in Pakistani cuisine, a sauce does exist for pakora. So, I mixed and matched ingredients from different online recipes and here's what I came up with...
Ingredients
1 medium-sized yogurt package (175 grams)
1 table spoon ketchup
1.5 table spoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tea spoons chili powder
1 tea spoon cumin powder
chopped mint (about 10 leaves)
2 tea spoons lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a bowel and serve chilled.
The result was perfect. I'd definitely make this dipping sauce again!

Ramadan Kareem رمضان كريم
Wishing everyone a blessed Ramadan!
مبروك عليكم الشهر!
I love wearing jalabeyas, and during Ramadan I wear them all the time for all 30 days. The picture above was taken in a shop in Freej Al Murar, where they specialize in embroidery and tailoring jalabeyas. I can't wait to wear mine or see what all my friends & family have got tailored especially for Ramadan.
That being said, Ramadan is not about fashion. I hope this Ramadan brings you and I closer to God.
أعاننا الله على صومه وقيامه ♥

Aging
I've always had plastic surgery in mind. Not now! Someday when I'm all old and wrinkly. But then I came upon some pictures of Audrey Hepburn in her old age (she died at 63). She still looked pretty even with wrinkles - which made me change my mind. Looking naturally pretty at old age is definitely better than looking like all plastic and no control of your forehead.
Aging gracefully is the way to go.
"True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
Audrey Hepburn
