Gulai Sotong Cumi

Assalamualaikum

We were actually on our quest to get all the dried seafood products from a trading center in Tanjung Dawai. While chit-chatting, the shopkeeper offered to sell us the fresh squid. Fresh from the sea. Without hesitation, we grabbed a kilogram of it. 

This is what becoming of it - Squid Curry


This curry is supposed to be similar to curry cooked at the Mamak Restaurant. But bearing a Malay hat, it turns out slightly different but tasty to our tastebud.

Ingredients:
Quater kilogram of squid
2 large onions - sliced thinly
Curry leafs
2 Pandan leafs - washed and make a knot out of it
3 tablespoon curry powder - add some water to it to form a paste
Tamarind juice
Salt to taste
2 to 3 tablespoon cooking oil

Simple ingredient isn't it??
Now, making it:

Pour the oil in the pot. 
Add onion, pandan leafs and curry leafs. Fry till the onions are transparent or cooked (not burnt)
Add the curry paste. Let it cook.
You will know the curry powder is cooked when you see the oil coming to the surface.
Add the squid. Add plain water if need to.
When the squid is cooked (It did not take long to cook), add the tamarind juice and salt.
Let it simmer for a while.

Ready.
Eat it with the hot rice. It's finger licking good.

Wassalam.

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.
