Orange Chicken Meatballs with Garlic Noodles

There are a few recipes that become your favorite. Orange Chicken is one of those recipes that has become a favorite from the day I actually made it the first time. The crispy chicken pieces coated in a orange sauce that's tangy but sweet with a little hint of spice is what makes it a delicious one. The other day while grocery shopping, when I saw oranges at the store I couldn't resist picking up a few for this new recipe, Orange Chicken Meatballs.

Beauty Crush: Garnier Skin Active Refreshing Botanical Gel Wash

Aloe there! Let’s talk about Skincare.

First things first: It is your skin! You know it better. If not, try to research and learn about your skin type, the issues you face and the kind of products that will suit you best. 

I have dry, very sensitive skin and with certain products it breakout too. So I’m always very apprehensive about trying new products on my skin, especially face. Almost a month back when the face wash I had been using didn't suit me well, I was on the lookout for some other brand and that's when I stumbled upon Garnier Skin Active range.

Chicken Tikka Karahi - Pakistani Style (Murgh Tikka Kadai)

After moving to Ireland, I have been experimenting with Pakistani cooking a lot. Back home it was all about enjoying Ammi k hath ka khana (food prepared by my mom) but after moving here as we have to do the cooking ourselves so it's mostly based on the cravings, which have grown stronger for home cooked desi food. I miss Lahori food a lot! (apart from family of course) and the other day I wanted to have Chicken Tikka and Chicken Karahi so bad that I ended up making Chicken Tikka Karahi. This recipe has authentic Pakistani flavors of both Chicken Tikka and Chicken Karahi.

Favorite Autumn Lipsticks

Autumn, the season of change brings with it cool weather which means it's the time of the year for knitted jumpers, cozy scarfs and spiced lattes. But, for makeup enthusiasts this transitional season brings something more exciting - new makeup products and skin care routine! Changing the makeup to the season palette is just like adding a new piece to your wardrobe - preparing for the season and just being on the trend.

The one makeup product that changes for me with the season is the Lipstick. I just love the fact that how one thing (a lipstick) can completely transform your look from drab to fab!

Firni - Pakistani Rice Pudding with Nutty Caramel Discs

Pakistani desserts are the star of every meal. They are rich in taste, texture and flavors. I love desserts of all kinds but our Desi Desserts are my favorite. From Gur walay Chawal (Jagger Rice) to Zarda (sweet rice), Ras Malai to Rass Gullah, Suji Halwa to Gajar Halwa, Firni to Rabri, Seviyan (roasted vermicelli) to Mithai (sweets) each dessert dish is unique and tastes delicious. Out of all the desi desserts my favorites are Shahi Tukda  and  Firni.
