Santan-less Chicken Rendang

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

Sabrina is allergic to coconut milk. A severe case is when she was in Standard one. She had just a lick of the coconut milk while at a day care which landed her on a hospital bed for more than a week. As she grows older, she is very cautious with the ingredients that are in her food. Experience teaches her to be more cautious as asthma attack is definitely something that you can act lighly upon.

As Ibu, I have to creatively modify the ingredients to suit her. Therefore, here goes how I make my Santan-less Chicken Rendang. Perhaps there are someone out there who are facing the same problem.


The ingredients:

2 stalk of lemon grass
2 inches of ginger
1 inch of fresh tumeric
2 large onions
4 red chillis
10 small chillis (cili padi)

Blend all the above ingredients in a blender till fine.

Other ingredients:
Chicken - Cleaned and cut into small pieces to your liking. I leave the skin on this time.
1 cup of evaporated milk
tumeric leaves - sliced
2 tablespoon cooking oil
2 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt to taste

How to:
Heat 2 tablespoon of cooking oil in a wok.
Put all the blended ingredients into it. let it boil.
Add the chicken. Let everything simmer and the chicken tender.
Add more water till you get the thickness that you like.
Later add the milk, and tumeric leaves.
When you see the oil starts to come out (if not, you should add some more cooking oil or olive oil), put in the tumeric leave, salt and sugar.
Let it simmer again and ready to be served.

Enjoy!!!

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

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. Kem
