Salam All, Karipap can also be called curry puff (I guess?). My kids really like karipap. Every week they will eat karipap (masa tak posa la.). Ever since Ramadhan, they have not had karipap yet. Because Ibu is too lazy to pay a visit to Pasar Ramadhan, a place where they sell various dishes for iftar. You may lost your mind if you are there (it's me). Everything seems so tempting especially when you are fasting. Therefore, one lovely day, Ibu decided to make karipap for them for iftar. Some for eating on the same day, and some will be turned into frozen karipap for later consumption. Here's one for the album: My two versions of karipap. Back: the traditional version Front: the rolled version (aka versi nak cepat) The fillings: About a bowl of minced meat 2 tbs curry powder (mixed with some water to form a paste) 2 potatoes - peeled, diced 2 red onion - diced curry leaves (for the aroma) salt for seasoning 2 tbs cooking oil How to: My method is soooo simple, it is

Salam all, Another healthy entry from me today. Not to say that other entries are not healthy, they are healthy but probably less healthy. As I normally write, 'Cooking is Simple'. Put everything into the cooking pot and whalla!, it's ready to be eaten. Preparing and cleaning requires a bit of your extra effort --- bab ni yang tak tahan, except if you have a helper. However, sometimes we can make the preparation time shorter by using the ready made ingredients, for instance this Chicken Ball that I purchased, the Ayamas brand. The mushroom , is also readily used. washed it thoroughly, remove the stem and they are ready to be cooked. No mess produced. Next, you need only to prepare some garlic and onion . For a cook, this is just a bliss. Follows will be the cooking steps. With couple of sentences -- dump everything into the pot, add some water , later add salt & paper to taste -- a here you are: You may also add any green leafy vegetables and some carrots .

Thirst quenching!!! That's all I could say on the hot and humid weather. But it's not today or even yesterday. This was few dayssss before. As usual, this is a belated entry. This few days the weather is friendlier to us who are fasting. Alhamdulillah, TQ Allah. Len Chee Kang, as it is called is originated from the Chinese (I guess). How it is spelled, I am not so sure, but this is how it is pronounced. Some call it 'Laici Kang'. I, myself not sure of the correct version. Why do I say that this drink is originated from the Chinese? It's because I got all the ingredients from a Chinese Herbal Store, actually, I got brother in-law to purchase it for me from a Chinese Herbal Store. According to my brother in-law, he just walked-into the store and asked for ingredients to make the drinks and the shopkeeper eagerly prepare the ingredients. All are the dried ingredients. To turn it into a drink, simply boil it until tender for about an hour or so. Some of the i

Salam all, During fasting month, we must not forget to take veges in our diet. Eating veges is essential and it helps protect our body from many harmful illness like cancer. A large amount of serving is required to stay healthy. Veges should be taken with every meals. But, during Ramadhan, its not easy to get the kids (especially) to take veges at 5am in the morning. Due to the dislike for veges, many people turn to supplements. The different color of veges has different benefit to health. But for this entry, just let's share a single colored vege ......the Fiddlehead Fern. Back in 1970s, when my aunt was staying in Kg Nakhoda, Selangor, there was a small creek behind her house. On the other side of the creek there were lots and lots of ferns. We used to cross the creek and pluck the fern ourselves. Wow! what a beautiful memory back then. And Kg Nakhoda is not that far from the heart of the city center Kuala Lumpur. I am not sure whether the environment still exist or perhaps a

Salam All, Hakim is really full of ideas this Ramadhan. He came up with various eating desires. It helps me in a way - helps me in deciding what to cook for iftar as I always have problem with that. One evening, we were watching a cooking show on TV and it shows how to make a porridge. I told him that it would taste good to have porridge for iftar. and his response, "Kenapa tak buat bubur yang warna purple? (why not make the purple porridge)". I immediately know what he meant. It is the Black Glutinous Rice Porridge . I don't normally stock the black rice at home as it easily spoilt. Therefore we decided to head to a supermarket for a packet of a Black Glutinous Rice or black rice, and of course with some other things to buy on the list. A quick browse on the internet found me with an interesting new knowledge about this black rice. The black rice is being compared to berries for its antioxidant, as mentioned by this article : black rice which in addition to its hig

Salam All, Happy 9th Ramadhan. Sorry for the belated entry. As usual, nothing changes, always late, late, late. Anyway, better late than never. Browsing in the Giant Supermarket with Hakim one afternoon (after his visit to the doctor), found me with a heap of pumpkins. I thought it will be delicious to have LABU (pumpkin) for iftar today, so I grab one small pumpkin, just enough for a family of four. Puasa puasa ni selera nya luar biasa sikit. Makan dengan nasi panas dan ikan masin ..... humph .... insyaAllah menjilat jari!!!! The ingredients are quite simple: A handfull of dried shrimp (for flavor) Pumpkin, peeled and diced 1 red onion 3 cloves of garlic 2 fresh red chilies 1 cup of coconut milk 2 tbs cooking oil Salt to taste How to: 1. Boil the pumpkin till tender. As shown in the picture at the side. 2. The remaining water used for boiling should be saved for later used. 3. Blend or finely chopped all other ingredients except coconut mi

Salam all, On your left is the dish that we had for iftar on the second day of Ramadhan. From top left, clockwise: the salted Kurau fish, Asam pedas Utara, Omelet, Chicken in black soya sauce (ayam masak kicap), fried kurau. Center: Spinach special Very simple menu but really mouth watering especially with the salted kurau there. I did not plan to cook much on 2nd day of Ramadhan. Ayah planned to go to surau for iftar with Hakim (he said that it's going to be a month event). When there's only Sabrina and me, the Ayam Masak Kicap is good enough. At almost 5.30pm, he suddenly changed his mind and decided that even with pizza is better if we had it at home, which indicates that he wanted to have the iftar at home. Digging into my fridge for a fast and easy dish, I decided that it's going to be the Asam Pedas, northern style. Ingredients: 3-4 red chillis* 1 red onion* 3-4 garlic* 5g anchovies Fish (any) Tamarind juice Daun Kesum 1 inch belacan salt to taste Ho

Salam all, I know, I know, today is already 4th Ramadhan, but I still want to update my dish for first day iftar. Since ayah has declared that he and Hakim is going to the surau for iftar, it left only Sabrina and me at home. Therefore, I decided to make something that Sabrina like the most - CHAPATI. For myself, I prepared some nasi goreng (tapi semua orang pun makan....) Here goes ..... for the recipe, click here. These are the food that we had for iftar on the first day of Ramadhan. From left to right: Gravy for chapati, Chapati Bottom: Fried rice with soya sauce (as my husband likes it) For the gravy, I made it very simple: 150g chopped chicken 1 potato cubed 2 onions (diced) 5 french beans 2 tbs curry powder 1 cup coconut milk (I used fresh milk or sometime yogurt) salt to taste How to: put the chicken, curry powder, one onion (leave some onion for later) and some plain water in a pot, and cooked till the chicken is slight tender and curry powder is cooked (it is cooked when there

Salam all, This is a pre-Ramadhan cooking. Just trying out few new recipes, to check whether my kids like it or not. If they do, I can definitely make it again during Ramadhan. In other word I am trying to create varieties to my cooking, especially during Ramadhan. My chicken pie normally uses the pie crust recipe with chicken curry and vege as filling. But last Sunday, I tried something different. Actually, I got the recipe from a recipe book sent to me from Naturel cooking oil, as a birthday gift. They'll send me something every year, without fail. Wonder how I got it? Well, years ago I submitted some competition conducted by Naturel but fail to win any prizes. Based on that address and some personal info that they got from the application, every year, they will send me something as a birthday wish, and this year is the recipe book -- Ok jugak kan ..... The filling's recipe (as modified from the book): 2 inches carrot, cut into cubes 3-5 french beans, sliced to 1cm 1 onion
