Roti Bawean - 9th Day Iftar

Requested by Mr Hubby...when I asked him yesterday morning what does he want for iftar..he asked for this...I called it 'roti prata boyan'...sedap sekali sekali makan ni..the 'sambal cicah'(sauce for dipping), normally we bought are the sambal tumis ikan bilis(anchovies), but since Mr Hubby's wife(Me) is very the 'rajin'(harworking) I made sambal tumis ayam to go with it!!

The reason why I made sambal tumis ayam was it saved me time rather to cook another dish for sahur. as my kids dont eat ikan bilis....so again trying to be idle, or the right word trying to be productive?hehe.....When Mr Hubby asked me 'eh, patut makan dengan sambal tumis ikan bilis kan?'... I answered softly...boleh lah tu, sambal jugak apeer!!..wakaka..

Ingredients:-

650g plain flour

320ml warm water

60ml vegetable oil

2 tbsp ghee oil

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Method:-

Mix warm water, oil, ghee oil, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and stir. Add in flour bit by bit and knead to form a soft dough. Make a few balls to the size of your preference and let it rest for a while.

spring onions and Chinese celery to estimate sliced thinly

2 big onions diced

a bit of mixed vegetables(optional)- I didn't put

a bit of pepper powder

salt to taste

*Mix all the ingredients and adjust to taste

Method Roti Bawean 1:- ( I used this method easier)

Roll out one of the balls to form a circle. Put some filling on it and fold it like a square. Fried on a flat pan like frying the roti canai/prata. Add oil once in a while and dish out when golden yellow.

Method Roti Bawean 2:-(This metod like kneading the roti prata/canai)

Take 2 balls. Roll out one ball to form a circle. the other ball knead thin to form a bigger circle. Add some oil on it. fold out dough like a snail and let it rest for a while. Later knead again to make it flatten. Take the first dough and fill with filling. Cover the dough with the second one and seal nicely. Fry till cook.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Yuppp!! that's the name 'Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe' .. this was not the beli one OK....I made one...hahaha... the outlook confirmed doesn't look like KFC chicken...haha..got the recipe in the net lor...when I asked my boys, 'rasa macam KFC tak?'...the eldest answered me, 'doesn't look like one.."..but he reached for the next chicken wing..the next and the next...he even asked Iqram whether he wants the last piece or not!!!...

So what can I say from that?...or maybe he really starving(kebulur)?...anyway I put up the recipe here..just in case some of you interested..

Ingredients:-

1 good chicken( I used 12 chicken wings)

1 tbsp curry powder

1/2 tsp ground all spice -(I used this one)

OR

Fine herbs mixes:-

1 tsp chopped tarragon

1 tsp chopped chervil

1 tsp chopped chives

1 tsp chopped parsley(or any combination of the above, plus whatever else you fancy)

PLUS

1-2 tsp minced garlics

1 tsp cayenne pepper(more or less to taste)

1 egg

1 cup flour

salt and pepper to taste

oil for frying

Method:-

In a bowl, mix chicken with salt, pepper, spices, garlic, chili, egg and 2 tbsp water. When thoroughly combined blend in flour, using your hands. Keep mixing until most of the flour is blended with other ingredients and chicken is coated ( add more water of flour if mixture is too thin or too dry; it should be dry but not powdery and not too wet- it has to adhere to the chicken).

Add enough oil to your skillet to come to a depth of about 1/2 inch and turn heat to medium. If you are using butter, skim any foam as it rises to the surface.

When oil is hot raise heat to high. Slowly add chicken pieces to skillet. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium (more or less- oil should sizzle but not smoke) and cook for 7 minutes.

Uncover skillet, turn chicken and continue to cook, uncovered for another 7 minutes.

Turn chicken again and cook for 5 minutes more, turning as necessary to ensure that both sides are golden brown.

Remove chicken from skillet and drain on paper towels . Serve immediately, or cold.

Stir Fried Nai Bai

For the 'sahur' just fried this simple dish for our veggie.. Nai Bai stir fried in onions, garlics, chillies salt and MSG.. Adding to our main dish the BEEF SOUP, also didn't manage to snap some shots cause everybody seems like they cant wait as, most of them are really sleepy and I didnt want to delay their meals..

Nutella Cake

When I saw this recipe in Nigella website, I was tempted cause of the outlook and colour(CHOCOLATE) hehe... straight away decided to make this..looking at the ingredients all available at home.. then after I whisk the eggs, I realised this recipe did not require any flour and sugar!!!..ish!!!..I told myself..biar betul..how the cake going to stand without flour?..hehe(almaklum statement orang yg kurang basic kot?)..

Ah!! just trylah..as I go along, I kept on saying to myself..'better jadi, kalau tak habis 1 jar of nutella gone and my 6 eggs wasted ..put in the oven . tawakal aje lah..hehehe..when the cake rises..and I brought out to let it cool..took some pictures and cut it, ALHAMDULLILAH, jadi jugak my cake ni..hehe..i just cant imagine how the cake can stand without flour and sugar..anyway the cake taste very moist and soft...the sweetness came from the Nutella..it is suitable for desserts.

Ingredients:-(Serve 8)

FOR THE CAKE:

6 large eggs, separated

pinch of salt

125g soft unsalted butter

400g Nutella (1 large jar)

1 tablespoon water

100g ground hazelnuts

100g dark chocolate, melted

23cm Springform tin, greased and lined( I used a 7" springform tin)

FOR THE ICING:

100g hazelnuts (peeled weight)

125ml double cream ( I used whip cream)

1 tablespoon water

125g dark chocolate

Method:-

1.	Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and Nutella together, and then add the water, egg yolks and ground hazelnuts. Fold in the cooled, melted chocolate, then lighten the mixture with a large dollop of egg white, which you can beat in as roughly as you want, before gently folding the rest of them in a third at a time. Pour into the prepared tin and cook for 40 minutes or until the cake’s beginning to come away at the sides, then let cool on a rack.
3.	Toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan until the aroma wafts upwards and the nuts are golden-brown in parts: keep shaking the pan so that they don’t burn on one side and stay too pallid on others. Transfer to a plate and let cool. This is imperative: if they go on the ganache while hot, it’ll turn oily. (Believe me, I speak from experience.)-(This was from Nigella and not me)
4.	In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the cream, liqueur or water and chopped chocolate, and heat gently. Once the chocolate’s melted, take the pan off the heat and whisk until it reaches the right consistency to ice the top of the cake. Unmould the cooled cake carefully, leaving it on the base as it will be too difficult to get such a damp cake off in one piece. Ice the top with the chocolate icing, and dot thickly with the whole, toasted hazelnuts. Sources :-From Nigella

Tauhu Masak Taucu

Another one of my favourite dish... this one also you can just eat just that with plain hot rice..
The longer you keep the better it taste as the bean curds absorbed the gravy..(of course not untill 3 days lah!)..hehe..

Ingredients:-
4 hard bean curds diced or cut diagonally into 4
12 prawns deveined and dishevelled
10 green chillies cut to 1/3 each( I used cili padis as usual)
5 big onions cut rings
2 garlics slice
2 lemon grass bruised
1 bottle salted soy beans, washed, drained and squeeze till slightly mashed( I used 1/2 bottle only)
2 cups of water
2 inches shrimp paste
tamarind pulp size of half egg
salt and MSG to taste
oil for frying

Method:-
Heat oil in wok. Fry the bean curds till almost yellow, not too, crispy. Dish out and put aside.
Mix tamarind pulp, shrimp paste and 2 cups of water and put aside.
Using the same oil that fried the bean curds saute the onions, garlics and green chillies till fragrant. Add in salted soy beans and prawns stir well. Add in the shrimp paste mixture and let it simmer for 5 minutes with a medium heat. Add in salt(not too much cause salted soy beans already salty), MSG, sugar and the fried tauhu. Stir well and let it simmer again so as the gravy absorbed to the beancurd for 5-10 minutes more. Turn off heat and ready to be serve.
