Food, gift for my Muslim neighbours?

HEY Im Muslim!!! Listen you don't have to get all worried over it!

If you want to give them something maybe you can make a cake or some cookies. AND DON'T WORRY!! No mater how ugly or bad the food might be Muslims always say its the thought that counts! Good Luck!

I would try some cookies or a fruit basket. Just not a box of slim jims or anything:) That would be offensive. Do you have a favorite cookie or cake recipe? If so, I'd make that and he'll be sure to appreciate and enjoy the gesture.

Make sure that what ever you send them these ingrediants are not in it:

1. Pig

2. Ham

3. Pork

4. Anything related to 1, 2, and 3

5. Geletin (This is usually found in things such as gummy's, candy, jello -- You can check the ingrediants to make sure this is not in what ever your giving them, it's pork fat unless it says Beef Geletin or Vegi Geletin

Muslims CAN eat meat, just not pork

i'm muslim...so when it would be easter or christmas...my neighbours would sent some cake over....

if not just send something like biscuits you've cooked....

i thing cookies or cake or even brownies would be nice...

whatever cake you're special at baking send that...

if it we me i would loveeeeeeee to have chocolate fudge brownies..mMmM

btw if you're planning on making something with chicken or meat..make sure it's from a halal store...i hope you know what i mean...if not then just make something else

A cake or whatever as long as there is no lard, geletin or meat in it. But that's sweet of u for caring.

i'd say something that's typical christmas cookie or cake. it's a save choice for a gift. i'm not a moslem, but most of my friends are moslems. and they never grudge about what i make for them nor question anything.

some christmas cookies or some chocolates...but b careful that the sweets you get do not contain alcohol (the xmas cake has alcohol in it for ex.)

How about baking a cake! Something simple!

1/2 teaspoon

1 tablespoon

250 g

1/2 cup

1 teaspoon

2 tablespoons

Plain flour

Salt

Oil or ghee

Warm water

Oil or ghee

Garlic, finely chopped

Finely chopped fresh ginger

Medium onions, finely chopped

Curry powder

Salt

Vinegar or lemon juice

Minced steak or lamb

Hot water

Garam masala

Chopped fresh mint or coriander leaves

Oil for frying

Pastry :

Sift flour and salt into a bowl.

Add oil and warm water and mix thoroughly, until ingredients are combined.

Add a little more water if necessary to combine ingredients.

Knead for about 10 minutes or until dough is elastic.

Cover with plastic wrap and set aside while preparing filling.

Filling :

Heat ghee in a saucepan and fry garlic, ginger and half the onion until onion is soft.

Add curry powder, salt and vinegar, mix well.

Add minced steak and fry over a high heat, stirring constantly until meat changes color.

Turn heat down and add hot water.

Cover pan and cook until meat is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

Towards end of cooking, stir frequently to prevent meat from sticking to base of pan.

Sprinkle with garam masala and chopped mint or coriander.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mix in reserved chopped onion.

Take small pieces of dough, shape into balls and on a slightly floured board, roll each one thinly to a circle, the size of a saucer.

Cut each circle in half.

Put a teaspoon of filling on one side of each half circle and brush edges with water.

Fold dough over and press edges together firmly.

You will now have a triangular-shaped samoosas.

When they are all made, heat oil in a deep pan and deep fry a few at a time until golden brown on both sides.

Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.

You can never go wrong with a lovely fruit-basket decorated with flowers and leaves!
