Assalamualaikum ...

Suddenly I'm craving for coconut pancake on this rainy and cold evening. But I have limited opened stock of multipurpose flour and plenty of wholemeal flour. And the rain showered my herbs garden give life to my chives in the pot. Sound like a good combination to me ....Therefore, let's make an innovation.

My wholemeal coconut pancake

But what is there in Chive?
Found this from a google search:

Livestrong.com
Allicin
A content in chive which is also found in garlic and onions. Allicin might lower cholestrol and blood pressure and improves heart particularly. Allicin aids in cholestrol management by reducing the LDL levels and increasing the HDL levels. It might cut down the blood pressure and prevent blood clot.

Antioxidant
Chives might also helip in the fight against cancer because they contain antioxidants that help destroy free radicals and discourage the growth of cancerous cells and tumours.

Wealth of Nutrients
A tbsp of chives alone supplies
- 9 mg of potassium
- 3 mg of calcium
- 78 mcg of beta carotene
- 3 mcg of folic acid
- 6 mcg of vitamin K
- and traces of several B vitamins, iron and magnesium

Enough about chive ....now back to our recipe.

My ingredients:

1 cup grated coconut (preferably young coconut which gives tastier and sweeter taste)

1/2 cup wholemeal flour

About 1 stalk of fresh chive (minced) - happy to announce, fresh from my tiny herbs garden. :-)

1 table spoon butter

1 cup plain water

pinch of salt to taste

How to:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Using a spatula will do.

Heat the griddle.

Once heated, spoon the batter onto the griddle and spread the batter thinly onto the surface.

Let it brown and flip over.

Let it brown and ready to be served.

You may enjoy it with spicy gravy, or honey. But i enjoyed it as it is.

Bon Appetite!!

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 ...).
