Bergedil ayam daun cekur

Assalamualaikum,

Terasa macam nak makan bergedil. Kalau makan di kedai makan/ restoran, harganya boleh tahan mahalnya. Yup... the making may not sound so simple. It requires few steps. But the results... insha Allah ... satisfying.

Chicken breast is not a favourite in the house. Nobody would want to eat the most healthiest part of the chicken (to me .. hihihi). Most of the time, the chicken breast will turn to be used as condimetns in fried rice, mee or kuetiao, or even for spaghetti sauce.

Making 'bergedil' out of the chicken breast is a good solution. I dug my fridge, trying to find enough ingredients to make 'bergedil' ... one item is missing ... the cilantro. Cilantro will give flavors to the 'bergedil'. My cognitive skills quickly recommended another flavor --- the Cekur. And went to my tiny herb garden and dug some cekur out of a pot.



Cekur or some people may call it kenchur is from the ginger family. The scientific name for it is  Kaempferia galanga Linn. Cekur has strong aroma and full of health benefits especially for women. It is very famous in Javanese cuisine.

This is my recipe for the 'Bergedil ayam bersama Cekur'
2 chicken breast - minced
1 potato - boiled and mashed
3 leaves of cekur - thinly sliced
Salt & pepper
1 Egg - for coating before frying
Cooking oil for frying.

How:
1. Put all the ingredients in bowl. Mix well.
2. Form the mixture into small balls. Flatten it. (regularly wet your hands with water or oil so that the mixture do not stuck to your palms)
3. Heat the cooking oil.
4. Coat the bergedil with the egg by dipping it into the egg and immediately transer it into the heated cooking oil.
5. Fry till golden brown.

Whallah!!! Alhamdulillah ... so tasty. 
Some creativity helps brighten the day. Subhanallah.

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...

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 ...
