[ Energy steam ] After the longest interval I am back. I was busy with many personal and professional projects. Moreover wasn’t motivated enough for the blog.

This year is supposed to be one of the hottest years in the history of the world. It is crazy hot in Dhaka right now, the air contains 96% humidity. Hair, skin and overall health has gone all bonkers. We need to be…

Best Egyptian Mint Tea
December 4, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ Egyptian mint tea ] For our honeymoon we went to Egypt. There was a roadside cafe near our hotel in Ciaro downtown. When we went there for an evening shisha session they offered us “Egyptian mint tea”. First I thought it will be something exotic, totally different from anything I have ever tasted. However, I admit I was little disappointed but I loved the freshness. I have had mint tea before several times. Thus, it wasn’t something very different, rather it was very known and very much favourtie. Since the first day, where ever we went, people insisted that…

Spaghetti with crab meat
August 24, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
Spaghetti with crab meat Just got some crab meat from market today. I am dying for some crab linguine, however as I don’t have linguine I will substitute it with some simple spaghetti. I have my version for it, I usually don’t go by rules when I cook. I cook what tastes good to me. You can get crabs in almost all super stores. Some keep washed clean crabs; some even keep just crab meats. I got one of those crab meat ones. For cooking I use my chili oil. My olive oil is infused in some real hot red…

Tea Ceremony: Green Tea Mojito
August 8, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
It was crazy hot, so wanted to have something cold. It had to be a tea, pre-requisite. Thus thought about an ice-tea first, and then did a twist to the drink in my own way. Green Tea Mojito. It is an inspired tea from one of my web discoveries, but I totally forgot to keep the link. I infused a green tea from KK, I like their orthodox green tea, it is soothing and refreshing as well. Kazi and Kazi Green Tea is the country’s first organic substantially produced green tea. This green tea is collected from their biggest tea…

The art of making butter…
July 25, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
Hi folks… today we shall talk about making butter. If I could I would have become totally organic. However living in Dhaka doesn’t let me be so. Hence, I make homemade items as much as I can. In the process I make certain things at home that is healthy and also makes me happy doing it. So, let’s make some butter. You need fresh double cream to make butter. Double cream in simple bangla is “Dudher Shor”. You can buy a good quality cream and beat it till it forms butter or like me collect the cream for whole one…

Deviled egg
July 10, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
I have never made it before. But always they were a matter of interest to me. Today I had two of my favorite people coming in for tea, so I made these little devils just as an experiment and they turned out great. Of course I added my own little twist to the recipe. It is not the usual dijon and mayo deviled eggs. I had some Tahini in the fridge for few weeks now, so, I am kind of putting Tahini in more or less everything, I am preparing. After hard boiling the eggs, you need to make it…
