Apology

[WM]

asSalamu `alaykum

I'm very sorry for insulting sr. Umm, and for hurting anyone else who got involved.

I overreact (a lot), and I lose my temper very easily.

I'm sorry.

[Abuz Zubair]

JK brother Muhaqiq. It is very noble and honourable for you to make public apology. May you be an example for us all, and may Allah raise you in rank.

[Umm]

May you be an example for us all, and may Allah raise you in rank.
Ameen.

I apologise too for making a joke which was offensive to some. I also apologise for calling you a coward.

[Abu Ilyas]

May Allah reward you Muhaqiq and forgive all of us.

[Umm Ahmed]

May Allah reward you Muhaqiq and forgive all of us.

Ameen

[Um Ismail]

Ameen to everyone's dua. Masha'Allah brother muhaqiq and sister Umm.

I should also apologize for my stupid comment in that thread, I also meant no harm.

[Hamza]

wa alaykum salaam bro.

all good, look forward to reading your witty posts once again.

[Abu Ikrimah]

Ameen to all the du'aas.

Let's draw a line in the sand and move on, inshallah.

(PS, please let's not forget that well all have off days and need forgiveness once in a while - especially me!!!)

[Fajr]

Jazakumallahu khayran Muhaqiq and Umm, that's really excellent of both of you. I apologise too if I acted like inappropriately/in haste.

Yes sis, its called Rasmalai and it is delicious.

Only once or twice?

wasalam

[Um Abdullah M.]

Only once or twice?

wasalam

yes when we were invited by a Pakistani family when I was in USA

so it is not up to me to eat pakistani food whenever I want unless I cook it and I don't know how to cook Pakistani food

[waziri]

You dont have Pakistani restaurants in KSA? Man you Arabs dont know what your missing.


Maybe you should ask one of the Pakistani sisters for some recipes

[Um Ismail]

JazakAllah khair but I think I'd rather have some of this. :)

Recipe please!

[Umm]

I've got a great recipe to make it from scratch the old-fashioned way, without that nasty milk powder most sisters use as a cheat.

I'll post it up sometime this weekend insha'Allah.

[Um Ismail]

yes ONLY from scratch please sis, thanks.

[waziri]

without that nasty milk powder most sisters use as a cheat.
.


Yes thats what my wife uses :) still tastes great though.



This is the stuff she uses the one that says RAS on it

Ill have to ask her to make it from scrach now because other sisters make it that way. That'll make her day :D

[Um Ismail]

May Allah reward you Muhaqiq and forgive all of us.

Ameen :)

[WM]

Has anybody else noticed that "Rasmalai" is an anagram of Ra's Maali (capitalist)? :D

[Abuz Zubair]

LOL!!! This is hilarious!

[Fajr]

JazakAllah khair but I think I'd rather have some of this. :)

I've only ever had this once at a friend's wedding, masha'Allah was very nice. It was really cold too so I thought it was some type of ice-cream at first!

[leo]

Add to this, here is the most favourite sweet of sufis from Indo-Pak region:-

It is called Jalebi. Sufi festivals and their spiritual activities remain incomplete, if they don't take jalebis at the end of their acrobatics :D

Dont worry you'll be trying more of these kind of desserts soon :p

[Um Abdullah M.]

give us some recipies please !

have you all been fighting?

[Abuz Zubair]

have you all been fighting?
And where have you been, stranger?

I think the appropriate word for mango lassi is milkshake. Lassi is something else, which is made of Yoghurt and milk and normally consumed in the rural belt of Indo-pak region. Here is the pic of lassi

Asalamualaykum,


Mango Lassi is easy to make its just like making mango milshake but instead of milk you use Youghurt.

Mango's are in season now and the shops are full of nice Pakistani mango's just peel one and put the flesh into a blender and add some youghurt.

And where have you been, stranger?i felt you guys needed a break from me so i absconded. but its great to see everyone has each other in headlocks without any help from me :D

Welcome backits great to be back, now please direct me to the nearest argument or must i start one ;)

[Salsabil]

Wow Bro gag order, assalamu aleykum, welcome back akhee! Long time no see! Did you get married or something? :)

[gag order]

wa alikum salam bruv, i've been married for about 6 years and i have 2 kids. its great to see all the old posters are still here and some new ones i look forward to arguing with...

just kidding.

[Umm]

I'm still searching through my recipe books and loose pages, but for now, I'll post the method of making rasmalai, with the ingredients later.

The white balls are made by boiling milk and adding a pinch of citric acid, or a few drops of lemon juice. This forms curds and the milk will go watery. These curds have to be scooped up and put in a bowl. Any excess water is squeezed out and the curds are rolled into balls. The milk in the pan is chucked.

Once again, you boil a pan of milk but with sugar and saffron. Add the balls to the milk once it has boiled and cook for a bit. When cool you can add chopped almonds and pistaccio nuts.

[Skillganon]

Delicious as it maybe, I don't think asian sweet is all too healthy.

Rememeber moderation at all time. Don't go on a Rasmalai frenzy.

My advice. Smile.

boil the milk and reduce it to 3/4 of the actual quantity

so the whole recipe is only milk, citric acid/lemon juice, sugar and saffron?

wow I thaught it was lot more than that.

and can we use low fat milk?
and what about powdered milk?


assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

boil the milk and reduce it to 3/4 of the actual quantity

is the for the milk to make the balls, or the milk which you put the balls in at the end ?
or for both?

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

it's for the milk which u put the balls in at the end : )
reducing the milk is optional though.It adds taste to the rasmalai.U can even add one or 2tbsp milkmaid to the milk(in which u put the balls) and lessen the amt of sugar ....
have it chilled mashallah yummy

[Abuz Zubair]

It is really funny how this thread's been turned into this.

Would the sisters like Cookery, Food etc section on the forums?

You can either have it in your private Sisters' forums, OR have a public forum, instead. Latter, I think will be better since it would be indexed by google and easily reachable by anyone looking for recopies.

[Umm Ahmed]

Great go ahead and add one, men are good cooks *runs from the sisters*

[Abuz Zubair]

Great go ahead and add one, men are good cooks *runs from the sisters*
Ok... can you plz suggest a title and description? It should be more than just recipes and cookery... Something more general to include everything a housewife may need.

[Um Abdullah M.]

please make it public, some brothers might like to share recipies they know.
Biggest chefs in world are men.
and so non members could benefit from it too.

Something more general to include everything a housewife may need.

if you mean anything she needs in relation to the kitchen then we can call it "the kitchen"

or anything related to the house, maybe we could call it "the house" :D

couldn't think of any other title.
I am bad at these things.

[Um Abdullah M.]

jazakillahu khayran sister !

insha Allah I will try it and let you know how it comes out.
I just hope I don't mess it up.

my first tries are not always correct or good.

[Hamza]

many bros are good cooks but maybe they dont want people to know lol. I aint half bad, can dish up a decent curry.

[Abuz Zubair]

How about: Recipes, Cooking, Gardening, etc?

[Abuz Zubair]

I wish I could cook... But to be honest, if there is nothing to eat at home and wife's away, I just cannot be bothered to cook (except frying some burgers sitting in the freezer, etc)

I would rather pop out and get something to eat, instead. Time saver!

[Um Abdullah M.]

that is too long of a title
how about "The home" or something like that
then in the description below it : cooking, gardening, cleaning, sewing ...etc. anything relate to the home.

what do you think?

[Hamza]

A therapeutic effect is one of the good things that result from cooking. But yes Kebabish is a time saver lol. These days cant really spare the time personally but brothers should atleast have a go at lunch. Healthy lunch i.e. fruit/smoothie, some pasta or salad etc.

Im off fast food cos its amazing as you get older you cant just eat anything. Cant shrug it off as teenagers we could.

[Abuz Zubair]

The Home seems too general... what do others think? 'Cooking, Recipes, etc' are keywords that are easily picked up by google.

[Abuz Zubair]

May be we should organise an IslamicAwakening brothers get together and have all fights out once and foreva!

[Hamza]

IA Grill... I bet all brothers would have a laugh and just chill. These things get exagerated online.

[WM]

We could invite the Home Office :D

HomeFront would be a good title as would lifestyle but the latter seems similar to living room.Food and Home is ok.


Description something like this .

A public apology on this forum? :eek: Is the world coming to an end?

I feel I should commend you on your efforts to cut down trash-talk on the forum. It really shows that you are trying, the amount of bad language here has dropped a lot in the last couple of weeks.

There might be hope for you yet. :)

[Nu7]

many bros are good cooks but maybe they dont want people to know lol. I aint half bad, can dish up a decent curry.

If people find out you can cook then they will make you cook all the time, especially if you're a good cook. I'd keep it a secret if I were you. Actually, you should pretend to suck.. that way your wife will feel sorry for you and she will never ask you to cook. Being a good cook is like having super-powers.. you don't see spiderman, superman or any of those guys flaunting their special powers do you??!

lol
