Roti Benggali

Salam all,

How about a "ROTI BENGGALI" for dinner tonight?

I've been longing to eat the roti benggali. However, it's not so easy to find one here in Shah Alam. Making one is the solution. A google search for a "Roti Benggali" landed me to two cooking blogs: tiffinbiru.blogspot belongs to the famous Cik Mat Gebu and the other is the Baby.... Both provided me with an almost similar recipe.



The recipe is as follows:

The ingredients:
(A)
350 gm bread flour
1table spoon shortening (l used butter)
A pinch of salt

(B)
Lukewarm water (120-160ml or 220ml) - different measurements from two different different recipies. l used 200ml and found it a little too soft.
1 tablespoon yeast (mauripan)
2 tablespoon coarse sugar

How to:
1. Mix (B) together. Put aside.
2. Mix (A) till mixed.
3. Slowly add (B) mixture into (A).
4. Knead well until it form a dough. Put aside and let it rise to doubled.
5. Once doubled, punch and knead the dough again to remove any trapped air.
6. Divide the dough into three portions. Put it into a 7 X 4 bread pan. Let it rise for 10 to 20 minutes.
7. Bake in a preheated oven, 175 degree celcius for about 20 minutes.








And this is how we consume our roti benggali - eat it with the fish curry made earlier for lunch.



Enjoy.

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...

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 ...).
