Chicken Pittas with Spicy Garlic Sauce.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Too summery for October?
Aah, who cares when they're so delicious? I've made the chicken pittas twice already in the past week and the spicy garlic sauce is my new go-to for everything. It is so good as a mayo replacement in sandwiches.

This recipe begins with the chicken. I was supposed to keep the marinade oil-based but in the end, could not resist dolloping in a few tablespoons of yoghurt. The yoghurt makes all the difference. Think about things like tandoori chicken. The reason it always comes out so soft and succulent is because of the yoghurt that is used in the marinade.

Ramadan 2016 is here!

How has it been for you? Alhamdulillah, for me, the fasting has been going well. Here, the fast began this morning at 2:43 AM and will open tonight at 9:39 PM, Insha Allah. It sounds insanely long and it is. But I've been amazed at how my body has adjusted to staying so long without food or drink.
