Cucur Carrot

Assalamualaikum,

This is my breakfast. It is the 'Cucur Carrot'. Malaysian is famous with CUCUR. With Cucur Udang, Cucur Bilis, Cucur Jagung, and Cucur Kodok@Cekodok.

The base for these cucur is the same. It uses the same batter. Only different in its flavor. The batter differs from one cook to another.

My base (batter):

About 1 cup of water
About 3/4 cup of multipurpose flour
A pinch of salt to taste
1 large onion sliced thinly

The batter must not be too runny nor too thick. If it is too runny, it will trap lots of oil when frying. If it is too thick, it will be hard when cold. Through experience one can get the correct consistency just by looking at it.

Some people use the cold water to mix the batter and others use the hot water. But I simply use the plain water.


Almost on alternate mornings, I will make the carrot juice or any other fruit juices. When juicing carrot, the residue is plenty. I thought it is a waste to just through the fiber of the carrot that I tried making it into cucur. This is my second attempt after the first successful attempt. To my surprise, the cucr turn out to be very delicious. 

With the same batter I normally make any cucur, I simply add about 4 table spoons of the carrot residue (reduced some flour). The cucur turn to be so soft and crunchy at the same time. Even when it is eaten cold. 

And for this second attempt, I added some fresh shredded corn to it as well. So you have carrot and corn cucur at one go. Alhamdulillah... it's delicious. Now you dont have to waste your carrot residue after juicing it anymore. Next I will trying to make a carrot muffin from the residue. Cross finger.. with Allah's will, hopefully it will turn out delicious too.

Happy trying. 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.
