Living in Istanbul | Cozy Cooking & Slow Living | Evening at Galata Port✨

Hello everyone ♡
Welcome back to another cozy winter vlog from Istanbul. Today’s vlog is a mix of home, food, and a little winter magic from Galata Port. I spent the morning in my kitchen making fresh homemade desi ghee, followed by warm, flaky chicken patties for tea time… and later we went out to enjoy the beautiful festive lights and chilly evening breeze at Galata Port.
I hope you enjoy spending this day with me. 💛


🌼 Homemade Desi Ghee

Ingredients:
• Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp all-purpose flour

Method:
1. Melt butter on low heat.
2. When fully melted, add 1 tsp flour.
3. Flour helps milk solids separate and makes the ghee clear.
4. Cook on low until the ghee turns golden and aromatic.
5. Strain and store in a clean jar. ✨

2. Add onions and cook till soft.
3. Add capsicum and sauté for a minute.
4. Add chicken, spices, vinegar, and soya sauce.
5. Add 1 tbsp flour and mix well.
6. Slowly add milk to make a smooth sauce.

9. Bake the patties at 200°C for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crispy. ✨
