Recipes

Inspired by a Pakistani father, an American mother and the places I’ve been,

Malai Chicken

Heavy cream, Indian spices, and pineapple: a one-of-a-kind, South Asian dish.

Korean Short Ribs

Soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice. Savory, sticky and succulent — a KBBQ classic.

Rotisserie Chicken Tacos

Crushed tomatoes, Mexican spices, a rotisserie chicken — done in 30 minutes, Rachel Ray style.

Quiche

Jalapeno, scallions, beef bacon and cheddar cheese — a fluffy, delicate and eggy goodness.

Pakistani Pot Roast

Seared and then slow-braised chuck roast. All of the spices of a Pakistani dish. Served w/ mashed potatoes + roti. Trust me!

Bread Pudding

Leftover, stale bread? Great, this recipe is for you! Crunchy exterior, creamy interior — the perfect dessert.

Pakistani Eggs

Sautéed onions, garlic & ginger, and spices. The perfect brunch meal. Served w/ paratha.

Nihari

NOT at your favorite Indian restaurant. Rich, velvety and spicy: The ultimate Pakistani dish.

Cinnamon Rolls

A Christmas morning classic. Sticky and soft with those crunchy bits on the edges. Cream cheese frosting a must.

Italian Meatballs

Caramelized exterior, moist interior and perfectly tender. Pair with pasta or a bun, but can standalone, too.

Sammy’s Famous Guacamole

Fresh. Simple. Easy. But most importantly, NO tomato.

Pakistani Cutlets

A different approach to what a cutlet even is. Spiced beef (keema) and potato patties dipped in egg wash and fried. Perfection.
