In an attempt to become the true foodie I aspire to be, I'm going to *try* and make something new everyday that we're quarantined

Making a thread to hold myself accountable lol

Starting with Adeni Chai (Yemeni cooked milk tea with cardamom/nutmeg/etc)

made with tea from @QahwahHouse (which is )

Poha - an Indian dish made of flattened rice, mustard seeds, haldi (turmeric), onions, chilis, topped with crispy peanuts, cilantro, and lemon juice

Popular for breakfast, but I added potatoes to mine to make it more filling for lunch

Tahini Rose Chocolate Chip Cookies - mixed white chocolate and a pistachio dark chocolate bar from Turkey bc we ran out of regular choco chips lol

PIZZA NIGHT!

grandma ish pizza - simple homemade tomato sauce, fresh mozz, parm, basil, garlic evoo

palak paneer pizza - homemade white sauce, layered with palaak paneer, fresh mozz, parm, then finished with zeera/laal mirch baghaar/tadka and fresh squeezed lime juice

Turkish Coffee Latte - I'm not a big fan of traditional Turkish coffee bc I like my coffee milky/creamy, so I added whole milk to the ibrik

Zaatar Croissants - croissants topped with zaatar, garlic olive oil, and white cheddar and no I did not make these from scratch I'm just having serious croissant withdrawals (thank you Trader Joe's for selling these frozen ones)

Paired with a cardamom oat milk latte

butter chicken mac

pic 3/10
taste 9/10 (ran out of cheese lol)

ROSE TRES LECHES

Saturday brunch: savory blue corn pancakes, my bomb refried black beans, @sadiyaharabia's spicy and cheesey hashbrowns
