Roti Arab & Chicken Kabshah Shwarma

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

During the past Ramadhan, I was a loyal viewer of this cooking show on TV AlHijrah. The show was called 'Hidangan Barakah' hosted by a Jordanian Chef, Chef Ammar. Many delicious Arabian dish were taught through the programe. One dish that caught my interest was the Roti Arab, a flat bread. I used to buy this Roti Arab to be eaten with curry. And now I know that the dish is quite easy to prepare. It took only about 1 hour to prepare and cook it.

With the Roti Arab, we can also use it to make a Shwarma. Shwarma is the middle east food that use grilled beef, lamb or chicken as a filling, and wrapped. Some may use the Roti Arab or the pita bread. Other filling for the shwarma depends on your liking.

Making the Roti Arab:

300gm plain flour
2 table spoon olive oil
1 teaspoon baking water
pinch of salt and sugar
1 cup of plain water (approximate)

How to:
  • Mix all the dry ingredients well in a bowl
  • Add olive oil, mix again
  • Add water, and knead the dough till blend. The dough is soft, you may need some flour on the kneading mat.
  • Form small balls out of the dough (approximately at the size of a ping pong ball) and let it rest for half and hour or so.
  • After the rest, using a rolling pin, roll the balls and cook on a heated frying pan. Turning to the other side when the flat bread began to bloat. And spare only few minutes on this side before serving.

For making my.shwarma, I used:

Leftover kabshah chicken - sliced thinly
Tomato
Lettuce
Sliced cucumber (pickels will be better)
Mayonnaise (I used eggless)

  • Spread the mayo evenly onto the flat bread (roti arab)
  • Arrange the filling as you like
  • Roll the flat bread. Wrap in an aluminium foil (if you want) and ready to be served.

Yummy ...... Alhamdulillah

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.

Garnish wit...

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. ...
