Hello, lovely readers! Welcome back to another exciting culinary journey. Today, I’m thrilled to share some of my sister’s amazing recipes that you’ve all been eagerly asking for. After receiving a flood of requests from my previous posts and stories, it’s finally time to showcase her exceptional cooking talents. In this feature, I’ll walk you through three incredible dishes: her cheesy and mouthwatering garlic bread, flavorful chicken Chuka pasta, and the ultimate chicken shawarma. Let’s dive right into these delicious creations!

Recipe 1: Cheesy Garlic Bread

The perfect cheesy indulgence to brighten your day.

This delightful garlic bread was an unexpected treat that came to life during one of my filming sessions. My sister made this on the spur of the moment while I was recording her pasta recipe, and I couldn’t resist capturing it for you all. Here’s how she did it:

Preparation:

She started with a loaf of BOS bread, cutting it into neat squares and arranging them on a baking tray.

Cheese Layers:

Using a combination of Gouda and Emmental cheeses, she layered two slices between each piece of bread. If you prefer, a single slice works just as well, and regular store-bought sliced cheese is a great substitute.

Garlic Butter Magic:

The garlic butter was slathered between the bread slices. Although she forgot to spread it beforehand (a step she recommends for convenience), the melted butter added a rich, aromatic flavor.

Finishing Touches:

Topped with mozzarella cheese, a drizzle of melted garlic butter, and a sprinkle of paprika, the bread was baked until the cheese melted into bubbling perfection.

The result? A golden, cheesy masterpiece that we couldn’t stop devouring. While waiting for it to bake, she surprised us with a homemade Japanese treat Nama chocolate. Silky and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it was a perfect interlude to the garlic bread unveiling.

Recipe 2: Chicken Chuka Pasta

A fusion of bold flavors and creamy goodness.

This pasta dish is a flavorful twist on traditional macaroni, and it quickly became a household favorite. My sister’s technique brought together a medley of ingredients with effortless flair.

The Pasta Base:

She boiled macaroni in salted water with a drizzle of olive oil until al dente, reserving some pasta water to use later.

Chicken Chuka Shortcut:

Instead of preparing chicken Chuka from scratch, she used store-bought chicken Chuka from Lulu Hypermarket. You can opt for any pre-made version or even use leftovers. The key is deboning the chicken and retaining all the flavorful masalas.

Sautéed Goodness:

In a pan, she heated oil, sautéed onions until soft, and then added mushrooms, cooking them down until tender. The deboned chicken and its masalas were then mixed in, along with garlic powder, garam masala, oregano, and smoked paprika.

Creamy Perfection:

A generous pour of cooking cream brought the flavors together. She added processed cheese for richness and loosened the sauce with the reserved pasta water. Finally, cooked macaroni was stirred in, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese completed the dish.

The next day, the leftovers were even better—each bite bursting with intensified flavor. Trust me, you’ll want to make extra!

Recipe 3: Ultimate Chicken Shawarma

A crispy, saucy twist on a beloved classic.

My sister’s take on shawarma is both innovative and practical, delivering an explosion of flavor in every bite.

Marination and Cooking:

The chicken was marinated with a secret blend of spices (recipe in the description below) and grilled on a hot pan. A pro tip she shared: always start with high heat to sear the chicken, then reduce to medium-low to retain juiciness.

Assembling the Wrap:

Using S-bread (similar to thin rumali roti), she trimmed the dry edges, spread store-bought garlic sauce, and layered thinly sliced chicken, pickled veggies, crispy French fries, and a drizzle of chili mayo and more garlic sauce.

Crispy Perfection:

The wrap was toasted in a pan with olive oil, pressed down with a sandwich weight to achieve a beautifully crisp exterior.

The result was a shawarma like no other—crispy, flavorful, and utterly satisfying.

Bonus Treats Along the Way

While cooking, my sister delighted us with her homemade Japanese cheesecake—a soft, cloud-like dessert she whipped up with leftover frosting. It was a testament to her creativity and talent in the kitchen.

These recipes are a testament to how a bit of creativity and passion can transform simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes.
