Mongo's Style Stir Fry-Gluten Free













This post is for the days, when people like me want something hearty but do no want rice or bread for their lunch. I am not saying it's as healthy as a salad but it's very close. Especially on a cold day.

I take after my dad in many habits. I love to mix different foods in my plate and eat. I do well eating buffets as well because of this trait. This dish is very rustic and the addition of the egg creates this creamy balance that subdues the heat of Siracha!
Two other addition of vegetables that make this dish very colorful, a little sweet and savory are fresh spinach and carrots.

Let me know if you ever try it.


2 cups fresh mushrooms
1 cup Cabbage
1/2 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Carrots
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp gf soya sauce
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cumin
1 tsp lime juice
1 tbsp Siracha hot sauce :)











Procedure:

add all veggies to a wok with olive oil and fry until they start to loose their water at high heat. Sautée until some veggies get golden then add beans and all other spices and lemon juice and sautée for a minute. Then add soya, salt and Siracha. Mix it well then add mozzarella and crack an egg on top and stir and fry until you know egg would be cooked thoroughly. Enjoy!!

Haleem - Represents Pakistan's culture (Gluten free :))

Haleem: Threads of beef, a bite of lentils and oats and melody of spices with delicious garnishes. Haleem is a true representation of the subcontinent/Mughal heritage. It is a very well known dish in Lahore, Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India).  It has a beautiful golden, dull yellow color, its consistency is very similar to creamy dish of risotto. It’s made with aromatic and hot spices. It is served with crispy fried onions for texture, ginger, lemon juice to cut through the spiced creaminess. An original recipe of haleem requires 16-20 hours of cook time and if you have had that haleem you are one of the lucky ones. My mum used to start cooking it at night so we can have for lunch for the next day.

Then she would add soaked lentils and wheat and lots of water in the big pot. She would put the heat on very low temperature, cover the pot and would s...

A snack from Damascus.

          I have had an amazing childhood. My dad was in the air force of Pakistan and because of that we moved to different cities and different countries a lot. My worldly experiences were amazing and always revolved around good food and beautiful people. This story is very dear to my heart. We moved to Damascus, Syria in 97’ from Pakistan. As a child growing up, I always heard stories from cousins who lived abroad, about how different Pakistan was from where they lived. The visuals in my head were grandeur and full of Magic. This probably also has to do with all the children movies we used to see i.e. Matilda, Aladdin, Baby Genius etc.        My first thought when we landed at the Airport in Syria, my first thought was “that’s it”. Where are all the malls that people talk about in movies? Where are all the toy stores? I remember reading signs in Arabic, few in English. It was sunny and everything looked very desert like. It had the same...
