Roti Arab

Assalamualaikum... Lama sungguh tak menjenguk kat sini... Memang hampir lupa,sehingga hari ni saya ketika menguli dough untuk buat roti arab baru tersedar... "Ah ah lamanya tak tengok blog" bisik hati kecil... Mmm xmengapalah, nak buat macam mana kan hidup dinegara orang, semua harus kita selesaikan sendiri... Sekarang kami dah berpindah, dari tanah Queen ke Deutchland... Kehidupan kami disini sedikit berbeza jika dibandingkan dengan kehidupan di England, tapi kami masih yang serupa, memilih dekat dengan alam sekitar, masih menggunakan kenderaan awam serta masih mengitar semula.. :) best jugak kat sini, teringat kampung halaman, disini ade ladang gandum, dikampung ade sawah padi... Seakan sama.. Bunyi jentolok anak2 seronok menengok.. Ulat, cacing mahun slug sedikit pon mereka tak geli, ibunya pula rasa malu, sebab takut dengan binatang yang tak mungkin dapat mengejar kita untuk gigit iaitu snail dan slug huhu... Funny but true! ...opssss terlebih pulak, ok, back to the topic... Roti arab... Haha hari ni buat tiga kali, kali yang pertama ok, kali yang kedua k.o kali yang ketika "perfect" for me( piawaian sendiri) hehe yang dua pertama tu tak tahu kat mana silap, mungkin hati merajuk sebab suami sibuk sangat sampai tak de masa tegur kita :p huhu but after suami cuba dan cakap " its far better than in the shop" hehe hati terus berbunga riang... Terus menjadi.. Alhamdulillah " terjumpa" dimana silap.. So ni resepinya... Actually saya dah semak banyak laman sebelum mencuba, baca komen dan tips yang perlu.. Overall rata2 resepi menggunakan sukatan yang sama.. So dengan yakin saya pon mencubanya.. First time kat Germany ni, Kat UK dulu penah la jugak.. Hehe lets see the picture first... :) ni buat yang first tu, yg paling puas hati tu dah lupa nak ambik gambar...xpela jadi jugak okla kan... :p

Simple Chicken Broth

Ingridients

1 Whole chicken medium small size

1 cinnamon stick

2 cloves star seed

1 onion, slice

4 garlic,crushed

Dried mushrooms

2inches ginger, sliced

Salt

Methods

Put all ingridients in a big pot and add water enough to cover the chicken. Just bring to boil, discard all the white foam..and continue to slow cook at least 2 hours.. Add the salt and vegetables if like and ready to serve warm..

Solok Lada

Solok lada ( pepper/chilli stuffed with coconut and fish).. From time to time making Solok Lada, I saw a huge improvement. For the first time, I steamed it to long, second time the stuffed is not so full so the pepper become wrinkly when it done.. And after few times "experimenting" finally I satisfied with the result... First and the most important things is make sure the pepper is fresh and crunchy, and much much better to use fresh fish rather than canned fish..

Here is the recipe.... Perfect to eat with Nasi kerabu.. Yummmyy..

2 medium size fish- I used Mackerel
Half of the medium size coconut- grated or also can use desicated coconut( fine one is better)
10 pepper/ long and " fat" chillies
Coconut milk 200ml
Ginger about half inch-chopped
Shallots 4-chopped
Garlic 1-chopped
Salt- to taste
Blackpepper-to taste

Clit Chillies/peppers lengthwise For stuffing and soaked in the water for about 10 minutes..


Fish- cleaned and boiled in the water until coooked..when it cooled down, take out all the bone, need to be really careful and be sure to take out the small bones aswell, we dont want anybody choke .. :0 .. OR also can subtitue with canned fish.. Less mess..:)


Mix all the ingredient ( except chillies/peppers) ,Blend it fine.. Add blackpaper and salt to taste..


Stuff the mixed ingredients into the chillies. Place chillies, slit side up in a pot. Pour in the coconut milk slowly and add a touch of salt. Cover pot and simmer gently for 15 minutes until cooked and almost dry. I also tried it steamed but we need to add the coconut milk in the mixture.


Done, ready to eat alone or with rice.. But it perfect the most with Nasi Kerabu.. :)

Malaysian Chicken Sate

Great recipe for the bbq... Eat with peanut sauce and its so easy to make but maybe take quite a time to marinated..

Boneless chicken -cut into cubes

Bamboo skewers

3 lemongrass

3 onions or also can use shallot(about 16)

4 garlic

1 inch ginger

2tsp tumeric powder

2tsp cumin powder

2tsp corriander powder

2tsp brown sugar

Salt

Blend all the ingredients and marinate with the chicken overnight.. Put the chicken in the skewers and grill.. Thats it! Easy..

Note: Also can use any other meat such as lamb, beef etc

If using small amount of chicken, we can save half of the marinate ingredients to make a peanut sauce.. :).
