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
