Curry Khowse Entrée (Low Carb)
My sister used to make curry khowse and it was delicious! Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to get her recipe as she passed away very early. Later I got the recipe from my friend Nabat, and it was equally good. Recently my niece, Rubina, also shared how she makes curry khowse. So my […]
Green Beans (Low Carb Entrée)
Recently I visited my son who lives in the east coast. He showed me a different recipe he uses to make green beans. It is quick and easy and simpler than mine. It’s always nice to try something new, something with a different flavor. So I tried making it, and I loved it! Children also […]
Shami Kebab (Low Carb Appetizer / Entrée)
Making shami kebabs brings back memories of a very plain and simple place in Karachi, Pakistan which used to sell Shami kebabs. It was my husband’s and my favorite place to eat this dish. This was not even a restaurant. This young man had a push cart and fried the kebabs fresh and served it […]

Beef Meatballs (Low Carb Appetizer / Snack)
My mom used to make these meatballs as appetizer. We also ate them as evening snacks. My mom deep fried the meatballs, and I use to pan fry them. But now I make them in the air fryer. I sometimes add these meatballs to my salad. This recipe is very mild, which makes it great […]
Herb Seasoned Salmon (Low Carb Entrée)
My older son always raved about the flavor and flakiness of salmon but I was very hesitant to try it. In those days my favorite fish was halibut. Finally I decided to give it a try and I liked it! Now I eat Salmon every week and am a big fan. Being new at low […]
Seekh Kebab (Low Carb Appetizer)
I have vivid memories of eating seekh kebab with a crispy paratha at a very authentic restaurant in Pakistan. My daughter would have it with a sweet halwa (made of cream of wheat, sugar and milk) as she found the kebabs spicy. So now when I make these kebabs at home with this quick recipe […]
