Creamy Chicken Pie

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, diced

approx. 100g chicken breast, cut into cubes

about 5 Tbs fresh milk

1 Tbs plain flour mixed with water (I used corn flour) - used to thicken the filling

cooking oil

salt & pepper to taste

How to:

Boil carrot till tender, followed by the french beans. Put aside. The remaining boiling water is kept for cooking the filling.
On a heated pan, put 1tbs cooking oil.
Saute the chicken, followed by the onion till tender.
To ensure the chicken is well cooked, pour some of the remaining boiling water and the fresh milk, and let it simmer for a while.
Add salt and pepper.
Finally, pour in the flour mixture. Stir until its thick and smooth.
Let it cool.

The pastry:

I got the idea for this from 'my friend' Cik Mat Gebu (ini kes bertepuk sebelah tangan, dia bukan kenal aku pun. tapi aku tiap2 hari punggah dapur dia hihiih)

I used Kawanku 4"X4" pastry.

Take it out from the fridge. Let it thaw only for short while (please not too long as you will find it is very difficult to handle when it is soft).
Heated the oven at 175C.
Using a muffin tray, I lay the pastry into the muffin hole. Spoon the filling into it. Cover the filling using the excessive pastry. Sprinkle some sesame seed for decoration.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes.

And ... whalla ... ready for consumption. I like it. However, the kids seem to like the other want (the pie crust) better ... huhuhu

Adios.

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit...

Nasi goreng ringkas

Assalamualaykum Rushing from office to our home. Need a quick fix for the dinner? Fried rice is the simple answer. A scenario. You came home late. Rushing from the office and decided not to cook. Both the husband and you had not had a hefty meal for lunch earlier. Therefore you opted to eat out at a Malay restaurant. What would you order? Fried rice? Well, why not make it yourself? Use all the available ingredients and kitchen tools. How I made mine? The rice: Entering the house, I placed my things near the counter. I quickly walked to the kitchen. 1 cup of rice is sufficient for the two of us. Washed and rinsed it, I cooked it in a Noxxa pressure cooker for 7 minutes. At times, I cooked using the Tupperware rice cooker (cooked in the microwave) for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, I get the ingredients ready for my fried rice. 1 onion 3 garlics 1 handful of anchovies 2 red chillies Throw everything into the blender and blend it fin...

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk. Dicuci bersih. Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih. 2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit. ...
