Khiarshu (pickle cucumber) - dice

Kalbaz (ham) or sosis (sausage) - if using sausage cook it first

Canned sweet corn

Carrot - dice

Piaz (onion) - very small dice

Mayonnaise

Salt

Pepper

Lime juice

Olive oil

Methods:

1. For dressings; mix together onion, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil. 

2. Mix all of other ingredients with dressings

Cucumber & yogurt dip (mast-o-khiar)

Mast-o-khiar is a refreshing recipe to accompany your meal. You can also make it as a snack to dip with chips. Some people love the khiar (cucumber)'s slice bigger for a crunchier effect. But bff always loves with a small tiny slices of cucumber. Any style you like, mast o khiar is a healthy hence delicious to try.

Ingredients:
Cucumber
Yogurt
Mint
Salt
Blackpepper

Methods:
Mix everything. Better consume when chilled.

Hibernation

Quite a long time I didn't update this blog. Workloads and studies are the main reasons. Even technology has make it easier which I can update from iphone, still I think I don't have extra time to do that. Sigh..

Life has been great for me. I cook lots and sure I will share it here to keep as my reference in the future. Bff is now completing the last work for his thesis. My pray is for him to finish it on time so that he can rest and go back to his family in Iran. I can see his stress, missing hometown. Hopefully before August he can finish everything and fly back to Iran. For me it will be my chance to have new mantou, magna and other Iran's goodies. weehooo!! The sooner he settle everything, the sooner our dream come true :)

On the other hand, my studies is way too far. Semester 2 has finished and next semester I have to prepare for proposal defense. I won't reveal how much I did, what I can say is it feel like killing me now. I just hope everything will be ok.

And the latest news, I got new nephew on May 11. Aaoron Harris. Yes, maybe my brother and sis in law ia hard fan or Aaron Aziz and Ombak Rindu. 

That's all from now coz I have mehmoon (guests) to come for sham (dinner) which I cooked tahchin, salad makaroni and jemput-jemput pisang. Pictures will be update. Bye!
