Tomarot Rice

Salam all,

This was cooked on Monday when the kids are off school in conjunction with the Maal Hijrah celebration. I cooked the rice early in the morning before leaving for the office for their lunch. For the lauk-pauk, sorry kids, this all I have time for you "The Two Sauces Chicken Ball".


The name TOMAROT is actually a combination of the two main ingredients I put in the rice. It's the tomato and carrot, and become TOMAROT.

Making it requires:
2 cups of washed Basmathi rice
2 large onions
1/2 inch ginger
1/2 carrot
2 tomatoes
1 cup of Fresh milk
1 tablespoon of sugar
Salt to taste
the three stooges spices (bunga lawang, kulit kayu manis, and cengkih)
3 tablespoon of cooking oil

Preparation:
Blend the onion, ginger and tomatoes.
Coarsely shredded the carrot
Onion for saute

Cooking:
1. Saute the onion and the three stooges till you can smell the aroma.
2. Add the blended ingredients.
3. Add the shredded carrot.
4. Add milk, sugar and salt. Let it boil.
5. Add the rice grains. Add enough water for cooking the rice. Cover the pot with the lid.
6. Turn the stove to lower, cook the rice slowly.

My way of doing it: Cooked all the ingredients in a rice cooker pot on the stove. Add the rice grains, mixed it well, and transfer it into the rice cooker. Add enough water and let the rice cooker to do the rest. Easy isn't it.

Happy cooking. 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...

Nasi goreng ringkas

Assalamualaykum Rushing from office to our home. Need a quick fix for the dinner?  Fried rice is the simple answer. A scenario. You came home late. Rushing from the office and decided not to cook.  Both the husband and you had not had a hefty meal for lunch earlier. Therefore you opted to eat out at a Malay restaurant. What would you order? Fried rice? Well, why not make it yourself?  Use all the available ingredients and kitchen tools. How I made mine? The rice: Entering the house, I placed my things near the counter. I quickly walked to the kitchen. 1 cup of rice is sufficient for the two of us. Washed and rinsed it, I cooked it in a Noxxa pressure cooker for 7 minutes. At times, I cooked using the Tupperware rice cooker (cooked in the microwave) for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, I get the ingredients ready for my fried rice. 1 onion 3 garlics 1 handful of anchovies 2 red chillies Throw everything into the blender and blend it fin...

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. ...
