Re: Iftar recipes!

Sounds so yummy! What do you mean in a 'pan of water?' Can you please specify the amount of water? And leave what 'can' to cool in cold water?

What kind of biscuits work best?

Thanks!

Re: Iftar recipes!

Are you doing to make a caramel or "dulce de leche"? In the UK and probably in the US you can buy nestle carnation caramel, where they've already boiled the condensed milk for you. So it really cuts on cooking time.

You can make banoffee pie similarly by mixing 100g melted butter, with 250g digestive biscuits ground to a sand like texture. Then pressi the mixture into the bottom or a loose bottomed cake tin, and cover with the caramel, layer with chopped bananas and cover with whipped cream. Sprinkle with grated chocolate before serving.

Re: Iftar recipes!

Good recipe for Banoffee pie,tigerlily :)

That's exactly how I make it and it's soo much easier now that you can get the caramel condensed milk.

@LadyBugs...you put a can of condensed milk in a pan and cover it with water and simmer for a couple of hours and then cool that can before you open it.Always make sure the water level is above the can or it may burst.

Re: Iftar recipes!

  • aaaloooo eik
  • whole red chilis (3-5)
  • cumin seeds (1.5 table spoon)
  • oil (2-3 table spoons)
  1. cut potato in small bites (see pic below).
  2. In a bowl mix these bites with salt, cumin and red chills (break the chilies so sees can mix evenly)
  3. Heat the oil in pan and spread potato in the pan. cover for 6-7 min and cook on low hear. remove cover and make the potatoes as crispy as you want by roasting from both sides.

Goes very well with yellow daal and white rice…

Re: Iftar recipes!

Does anyone have a recipe for Chicken Patties?? Like the round ones in Pakistan?

71

Re: Iftar recipes!

Regarding the caramel dulche de luche, what I find works best is if you open the can of condensed milk beforehand and place in a glass bowl. Then place this bowl on top of a pot of boiling water, lower the flame and leave for an hour or so (i.e. a double boiler).

Tigerlily, I make exactly that recipe of banoffee pie every Eid and my family lovesss it!
