Easy way to cook Pulut Kuning

I got 2 express ways to cook Pulut Kuning/ Nasi Kunyit .... Some of my friends asking me, so hope it useful.

ok..here we go

1 . Using rice cooker

- 2 cups of glutinous rice(washed), 1 cup of thick coconut milk and add it with 1cup of hot water, little bit salt, 1tsp turmeric powder and 1 tsp of oil.
- Just put all together in the rice cooker . In the middle of cooking, just mix it to make sure all the ingredients all combined and also to make sure its not turn sticky at the bottom.

2 . Using steamer

- I normally used 4 cups of glutinous rice with 400ml of coconut milk from tin, a little salt and 2tsp of turmeric powder.. Some turmeric powder brand give nice bright yellow colour but some of it is not, so you might need add a little bit more..
-Wash the rice, steamed it for about 15-20 minutes , put in the big bowl, add salt and tumeric powder and mix it.. when all combined, steam it again for about 20 minutes or until it cooked..

somethings went wrong...

I don't know why its happened and seriously I don't know how to fix it.. My pictures is gone, some of my post are missing... and I "quite" lazy/not very interested to figure it out.. lol.. but I will ask my intelligent husband to fix it..hehe YES, I do "used" him. :P .. If he read this he will smile I'm sure.. sorry honey , honest to say I'm not wasting  on you  .. ok back to my work.. just quite look only..  tschuess, :) bis bald..

Quark Banana and Blackberry Muffin

I'm just enjoyed making and baking lately, fresh picked berries from my garden, nice summer weather and nice children are always willing to help . I'm so blessed. :) . This time, I make some nice beautiful golden brown crust and are absolutely taste yummy, bursting with flavorful banana and fresh berry muffins.. Oh I'm just loved the smell.. It just turn out good, moist and tender and almost bread-like in texture . We are using quark and corn oil instead of yogurt and butter.

Quark Banana and Blackberry Muffins: 

2 1/2 cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup (240 ml)quark

1/2 cup (120 ml)corn oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh blackberry

2 medium size banana( roughly chopped)

In a large measuring cup or bowl whisk together the egg, quark, oil, and vanilla extract.. In the different bowl, add all the dry ingredients, and gently fold in the blackberry and banana . With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are combined.

Fill each muffin cup almost full with batter using two spoons. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 - 30 minutes.

 Makes 12 regular sized muffins.

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.. :).
