Day 3 Ramadhan: Masak Lemak Labu @ Pumpkin in Coconut Milk

Salam All,

Happy 9th Ramadhan. Sorry for the belated entry. As usual, nothing changes, always late, late, late. Anyway, better late than never.

Browsing in the Giant Supermarket with Hakim one afternoon (after his visit to the doctor), found me with a heap of pumpkins. I thought it will be delicious to have LABU (pumpkin) for iftar today, so I grab one small pumpkin, just enough for a family of four. Puasa puasa ni selera nya luar biasa sikit. Makan dengan nasi panas dan ikan masin ..... humph .... insyaAllah menjilat jari!!!!

The ingredients are quite simple:

A handfull of dried shrimp (for flavor)

Pumpkin, peeled and diced

1 red onion

3 cloves of garlic

2 fresh red chilies

1 cup of coconut milk

2 tbs cooking oil

Salt to taste

How to:

1. Boil the pumpkin till tender. As shown in the picture at the side.

2. The remaining water used for boiling should be saved for later used.

3. Blend or finely chopped all other ingredients except coconut milk and salt. I used my kitchen helper - the food processor. It really do wonders.

4. In a pot, pour the cooking oil, once heated, pour the chopped or blended ingredient it.

5. Let it cook for a while.

6. Add in the remaining boiling water, followed by the boiled pumpkin.

7. Next, add the coconut milk. Let it boil and finally add some salt to taste.

And, ....... here is the completed version.

Allahummalakasumtu wabika amantu .....

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...

Asam Pedas Keladi

'Asam Pedas Keladi' or 'Spicy & Sour Yam Soup' is one of our favourite. Atikah likes it most. It's a kind of traditional dish and can be categorized as vegetables. We can eat both it's rhizome and it's stalk. The rhizome is delicious to be made into 'pengat' - a dessert which consist of coconut milk and sugar as the sauce and the rhizome that has been boiled. Or you can also have a fritter out of the rhizome. For the stalk, we can turn it into a spicy soup. But! be careful with the resin. It might ruin your clothes if in contact. A search in the internet found me with this interesting health facts about yam. Yams provide a very good source of potassium and fiber. They also offer a good source of vitamins B1, B6 and C. In addition, yams are a good source of manganese and carbohydrates. They contain large amounts of B6, which required by the liver, and also contain folic acid and other B vitamins which help to detoxify excess estrogen. This action ...

Cheese Cake

Tak sangka sungguh nak buat cheese cake ni. It came from K.Yan. She was telling how Sarah made cheese cake at Mak Long's house, and it excites me. I decided to make one. Luckily, hubby is so supportive to assist me in finding the ingredients (even though he doesnt like cheese). The ingredient: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Digestive Biscuit (for the base) Butter (leave at room temperature) 2 eggs Whipping cream Evaporated Milk to taste. (no exact measurement was given, as k.yan practically taste it before baking ;-)) Steps: 1. Blend the biscuits into crumbs. 2. Mix it with butter. Just enough butter is required to wet the biscuit. 3. Press onto a baking tray to form a base for the cheese cake. 4. Whip the cream cheese in the mixer till doubled. 5. Add whip cream, evaporated milk and eggs. 6. Pour onto the base. Bake in the oven. But .... as my microwave was malfunctioning, we opt to steam it and the result was superb and in fact better (according to kak yan la ...).
