Third Blog Anniversary
Badaam ki Jali
A special Hyderabadi confection made of Almonds
Time has flown away and its been three years since I started my beloved culinary blog Zaiqa. The journey has been lively and very fulfilling, a platform to share my passion with everyone. I thank you all for being a part of it.
Cheers,
Mona

Congratulations on your blog’s anniversary Mona. I have been following it for a while, have tried quite a few recipes with delicious results. You mentioned hyderabadi pickles in one of your posts…do you think you could post a couple of those. Especially the non-veg ones. Love the authenticity of your recipes.
Pooja, thanks a lot for the appreciation. As you might know, right now I am on vacation in Hyderabad and hence not very regular in my blog posts. Your request is duly noted and I will post non-vegetarian pickle recipes whenever possible.

As salam alikum , Mashallah i came across your website just recently , i have heard about it but never visited untill recently . Just reading out your Recipes index itself is so Delicious , i have never come across so many Hyderabadi Dishes at one place .As you know traditionally many of us are only aware of basic 3 or 4 dishes(Bagare Baigan, Dalcha, Khorma,Gamar ki Phali Aloo ghost) and practically in every Dawath apart from that nothing is prepared but here you are providing a Haroon ka Khazana .
Madam we are based in Saudi Arabi providing personel Home delivery services for Hyderabad. We would love to share your website with our customers so that they can order us to deliver so many choices of food recipes to there loved once in Hyderabad. Apart from food delivery we have other personel delivery services like sending Iftari,Sadqa or need to arrange any service for Hyderabadis in Hyderabad .

Happy blog birthday Mona. Although belated.
Your blog keeps getting better and better. I think we can easily call if one of the finest Indian food blogs around, and certainly the best-known one about authentic Hyderabadi cuisine.
Well done for all the hard work that you have put into it over the years.

Don’t forget to post the badaam ki jaali recipe :). I made it in May this year after getting it from a cousin; it didn’t look as good as it should have but it tasted great. Never knew it was fairly simple. Will need to try again
September 6th, 2010 at 1:11 am
Hey Mona, I came across your website and just love everything here! The badam ki jaali is definitely going to keep me coming back to your wonderful blog. Can you please post the recipe? I have been asking all my aunts but no one knows anymore. How sad is it that we lost this recipe with the older generation of our family! Most of my aunts just get it made from someone else for weddings but I want to bring the tradition of making these ourselves along with the gulgulay maleeda, and kheer puriyan for special events! I would really appreciate the recipe! Thanks so much!
