Kuih Lapis Pey Pey

Ok, this kuih was supposed to be posted last Friday..as I made this last week, due to unforeseen circumstances, only managed to post it today...ni case macam tak boleh tahan tengok banyak rumah yang dah melapis kuih..kiki....original recipe was double this amount, but I halved it..itu pun dah banyak juga....

The sweetness please adjust to taste ya..cause ada orang yang suka manis kalau part kuih muih gini..for my case, since warga emas kat rumah ni dua2 tu ada 'Medical certificate', so I have to adjust lah for sugar content tu ..kalau buat manis2, nanti tak ada orang nak makan pulak.heheh...Mr Hubby pun dah pesan tak mau manis2 kalau buat kuih tu....selalu 'pressure' tau nak mengadjust gula tu..rasa punya rasa sebelum dibakar atau dikukus..

The gula melaka in this recipe was to just add on to the batter, but I  gunakan air gula melaka, itu yang nampak part gula melaka layer a bit pucat aje..lagi2 gula melaka yang digunakan the colour pun memang pucat birat..huhuhu....Mr Hubby comments yang kuih ni tak nampak lapisnya kena tengok betul2 baru nampak lapisannya tu....mak ai, jenuh melapis satu2, dia cakap macam bukan kuih lapis pulak....hehe

Anyway the menu for today's entries are a few days ago..OK, the title of this soup was suppose to be just 'Sup Ikan Merah', but I added the 'Berserai' cos, I just wanted to highlight there that this soup is a bit sourish cos of the tamarind slice and lemongrass and its not the typical that I usually cooked which  lemongrass & tamarind slice are not included.. macam masak singgang pun ada rasanya..

Ingredients:-
1 ekor ikan merah sederhana besar
1 bungkus sup bunjut adabi

Setelah mendidih, masukkan ikan merah tadi dan tambahkan sedikit garam & perasa. Biarkan selama 2 minit atau hingga isi ikan itu masak. Tutup api dan taburkan daun sup dan daun bawang tadi.

Nota:- Jangan biarkan ikan dimasak terlalu lama kerana ini akan membuatkan isi ikan hancur dan menghilangkan keenakan rasa ikan.

Nasi Biryani Sindhi

Ermm, it has been a while since I last cooked nasi biryani..saw this recipe and gave it a shot, cause normally I would cook the Bombay Biryani style , both got their unique taste which I cant describe how..and both we can accept..for the Bombay biryani, normally I would scoop the gravy and alternately layered with the rice. As for this, the recipe required, the rice to be cooked together with the meat..The rice looks like normal white rice, only different that salt were added and when its almost cooked, garam masala were added giving the rice a hind slight of spiciness in it.

I didn't follow the instructions, as I just cooked my rice the normal way cause I didn't want my chicken to be mashed or squashed when the guys scoop the rice..apa2 pun this was today's meal...it came with acar timun & nenas and fried some poppadoms to go along with it..since biryani is not Mr Hubby's favourite, I guessed this time he could forgive me cause dah lama he himself tak makan nasi biryani..(kira no choicelah ni..lazy to cook another dish...hehe)

Ingredients:-
1 kilo ayam atau daging kambing – dipotong ikut suka hati-(1kg chicken or lamb/beef cut to preference)
1 kilo beras basmati, cuci bersih dan rendam selama 15 minit-(1 kg basmati rice, washed and soaked for 15 minutes)
1 cawan tairu-(Ayu gunakn 1/2 cawan aje)-(1 cup yogurt- Ayu used 1/2 cup only)

4 biji tomato, dihiris-(4 tomatoes sliced)
4 biji kentang, kupas kulit dan hiris-(4 potatoes peeled, halved)
3 – 4 biji bawang besar, dihiris halus-(3-4 large onions sliced thinly)
½ cawan pes halia dan pes bawang putih-(Ayu gunakan 1 sudu besar pes bawang putih & 3 sudu besar pes halia)  -(1/2 cup ginger paste & garlic paste)-Ayu used 1 tbsp garlic paste & 3 tbsp ginger paste)
10 biji lada hijau. dihiris-(10 green chillies sliced)
1 cawan daun ketumbar, dihiris-(1 cup coriander leaves sliced)
1 cawan daun pudina, dihiris -(Ayu tak letak)-(1 cup mint leaves sliced)-(Ayu didnt add this)
1 ½ cawan minyak sapi atau minyak kanola, atau pun 250 gram mentega-(Ayu gunakan minyak sapi)-(11/2 cupghee oil or canola oil or 250g butter)
100 gram rempah beriani Sindhi (Sindhi Beriani Masala)-(Ayu gunakan 65g rempah beriani Sindhi-sebab 1 pkt tu 65g aje)-(100g sindhi beriani mix -Ayu just used 65g cause 1 packet is only 65g)
1 cawan kacang gajus, digoreng-(Ayu tak letak sebab tak ada stock)-(1 cup cashew nuts fried-Ayu didnt add this cause no stock)

2 sudu makan garam masala-(2 tbsp galam masala)

Method:-
Panaskan didalam periuk, minyak kanola/minyak sapi atau pun mentega, dengan api yang sederhana besarnya. Tumis hirisan bawang sehingga ke-kuning-kuningan. Masukkan pes halia/pes bawang putih dan lada hijau, dan tumis selama 5 minit. Masukkan rempah beriani bersama tairu. Masak lagi selama 5 minit. Barulah dimasukkan kepingan daging, kentang dan garam dan biarkan selama 5 minit lagi. Tuang 1 cawan air kedalamnya(Ayu gunakan 11/2 cawan sebab nak berkuah lebih sikit). Tutup periuk, perlahankan api dan masak lagi sehingga ayam atau dagingnya lembut.-(Heat oil in a pan, using a medium heat, saute sliced onions till golden yellow. Add in ginger/garlic paste and green chillies and continue to saute for 5 minutes. Add in beriani powder together with yogurt. Further cook for 5 minutes. Add in meat, potatoes and salt and let it for 5 minutes. Pour in 1 cup water(Ayu added 11/2 cup of water cause wanted more gravy). Cover pan lower the heat and cook till meat/chicken are tender.)

Setelah itu hendak dituangkan semua lauk ini kedalam periuk yang lebih besar. Ratakan. Tabur diatasnya hirisan tomato, daun ketumbar dan pudina serta kacang gajus.
Sementara itu, masaklah nasi dengan sedikit garam, sehingga ½ masak. Setelah ½ masak, buang airnya. Masukkan kedalam nasi tersebut, 2 sudu makan garam masala dan gaul rata. Tuangkan nasi ini kedalam periuk berisi lauk. Ratakan, tetapi jangan dikacau. Tutup periuk serapat-rapatnya. Masak selama 20 minit. Sajikan panas-panas.-(Ayu tak buat macam ni, Ayu masak nasi macam biasa, bubuh garam bila dah 1/2 masak ayu masukkan 2 sudu besar garam masala, kacau rata dan biarkan nasi masak macam biasa.. Bila nak dihidang baru dibubuh kuah dan ayamnya, sebab  ayu buat macam ni kita tak nak ayam hancur bila di ceduk nasinya.)
-(After that, pour all the mixture into a bigger pan. Level it. Sprinkle on top with sliced tomatoes, coriander leaves, mint leaves and cashew nuts.Meanwhile cook rice with some salt added till 1/2 cooked. When 1/2 cooked, drained the balance water and added 2tablespoon garam masala and mix well. Pour rice onto the chicken/meat mixture.Level it but do not stir. Cover pan tightly and continue to cook for the next 20 minutes.Serve hot.)-(Ayu did not do this, I cooked as usual for the rice, added some salt when 1/2 cooked I added 2 tablespoon garam masla, stir well and let it till the rice are cooked. When served, I just added chicken and gravy at the sides.Reason why I did this was I dont wnat my chicken to be mashed while people scoop the rice.)

Puding Batik Marie

So how was your weekend?..Well you see, just wanted to share this, what happened early yesterday morning..

Mr Hubby:     'What day is today? boys?'

Boys:              'SUNNDAAAY!', 
Mr Hubby:      What date is today boys?
Iqram:            20th June 2010
Mr Hubby :     Paused, carry on watching the TV

Boys:               Paused, carried on playing their PSP

Everybody just carried on with their lives...
Then, afternoon after the mee kari lunch...

Mr Hubby:     Mama, what day is today?
Mama:           Sunday lah!..wah so cialat, day also cant remember huh?
                       You think what day today? weekdays huh?
                       seelah seldom take leave, Sundays also   
                       thought weekdays..(mama start to mumble..)

Mr Hubby:     (maybe cant control his emotions anymore)
                       Hey, is there such thing as 'Father's Day?'
Mama:           (mama's jaw almost drop off)...OH MY GOD!!!..oh dear!..Oh my..
                       How can I forgot?..Boys!!!! You see! you see..I told you the other day..
                      OK! ok!..later we go out for dinner eh..
Mr Hubby:    What?! then I pay huh?..
Mama:           No..no...I PAY, I pay..(inside my heart..aduh tekopak le(kena tax)..
Moral of story, remember next time, to prepare earlier for the gift,(cause cheaper) then to go out for dinner on me..hehe..

Anyway. this was what I made quite sometimes ago..recipe was given verbally by my SIL, over the phone..
I tried her puding batik marie, or better well known for 'kek batik marie'..when we had a gathering last year..
Been wanting to make this until a few batches of my marie's biscuit kena cionkong by whoever  in the house(dont know who, cause cant trace)....so here it is at last..
The difference about this recipe was that the use of 'nestum' in it....

Ingredients:-
300g marie biscuits cut to quartered-(300g biskut marie-dipatahkan 4)
1/2 cup condensed milk-(1/2 cawan susu pekat)
2 cups milo-(2 cawan milo)
3 tbsp cocoa powder-(3 sudu besar serbuk koko)
1 cup nestum-for baby-(1 cawan bijiran nestum untuk baby)
1 cup butter-(1 cawan butter)
3 eggs-(3 biji telur)
1 tsp vanilla essence-(1 sudu kecil vanilla essence)

Method:-
Lighly beaten eggs and combine all the ingredients except, bicuits and put to boil on a medium heat. When butter has melt and mixture thickens, add in biscuits. Mix well. Pour mixture into a tray which has been placed with plastic wrap as the base and press till compact. When all has been pressed, put in the fridge, serve when its already set, or cold. -( Pukul telur sedikit dan campurkan semua bahan2 melainkan biskut. Masak diatas api yang sederhana. Bila mentega sudah cair, dan adunan agak memekat, masukkan biskut dan gaul rata. Tuang adunan kedalam loyang yang telah di alas dengan plastic(untuk memudahkan memotong) dan tekan2kan hingga padat. Bila semua dah selesai, masukkan kedalam fridge dan biarkan hingga sejuk dan menggeras.)

Mee Kari Kerang

Salam, how was the cookies?..did you take one each for testing?..hehe..over here 'kadam'(finished) already..
For today's entry, I post this Mee Kari  Kerang..made this yesterday for lunch..saw this in Jamie's Kitchen the other day..she got the recipe from Ain's Kitchen..this was my first time tried out making mee kari and first time too, sampling them...to me all this while,I thought,  mee kari looks like mee rebus , and just cant figure out the taste like..hehe..

Mr Hubby tried out and it was his first time too..maklumlah here in Singapore, so far I didnt see Mee kari menu being sold in hawkers stall or what so ever..(maybe adalah, tapi tak pernah jumpa or tak perasan)..so far I have seen, mostly in Malaysia's hawker's stalls(like at R&R toll at highway..hehe)..and never had the feelings to try it out..but after reading the tips given by the owner of the recipe, it just kept calling me to try and make this mee kari kerang...Boleh tahan rasanya..when asked Mr Hubby, how many he would ranked out of  5, he said 4..
So Jamie & Ain, I put up the recipe here for my future reference ya and thank you both for this nice recipe!..

Tips dari empunya recipe:- Ain's Kitchen

1. Kalau nak buat mee kari yg sedap, rencah dia JANGAN GUNA DAGING, kalau boleh. Kalau nak bubuh AYAM, JANGAN MASUKKAN AYAM TU SEKALI DALAM KUAH; goreng dulu ayam tu, cariik-carikkan dan bubuk sebagai bahan sampingan sahaja. MEE KARI YG SEDAP RENCAHNYA IALAH KERANG, UDANG BASAH DAN UDANG KERING. Bagi yg "allergic" dengan kerang, bolehlah guna UDANG. Tapi, kalau nak lebih sedap, masukkan udang & kerang, sure "kow-kow" habis!

2. Santan kelapa - kalau nak dapatkan santan kelapa yg betul-betul pekat, blender kelapa parut dengan air secukupnya hingga betul-betul halus, hasilnya ialah santan itu bukan sahaja pekat, tapi quantitinya pun banyak.

3. Jika guna udang basah, BERSIHKAN KULIT UDANG ITU, KEMUDIAN BLENDER, tapis dan ambil airnya. Hampasnya buang! Kalau rencah kerang, JANGAN pulak blender kulitnya, nanti blender rosak, susah pulak suami kena beli blender baru! Bila suami tanya, siapa ajar blender kulit kerang? Ain lah.. siapa lagi! Naya, naya!

4. Rempah kari yg sedap.... sorry to say, so far yg paling sedap ialah BABA's. Tapi, seandainya ada netters yg ada better suggestion, please let me know.

5. Jangan masukkan garam terlalu awal jika kita nak empukkan sesuatu bahan yg perlu diempukkan dulu.

Kalau tidak, nanti bahan itu tak akan empuk sampai kuah mendidih. Dalam resipi ni, jangan masukkan garam banyak-banyak sebelum kentang empuk, OK?

Ingrdedients:-
Satu senduk minyak masak
10 ulas bawang merah - ditumbuk halus
10 ulas bawang putih - ditumbuk halus
2 bungkus kari BABA's - bancuh dengan sedikit air, jadikan pes-Ayu gunakan 50g serbuk kari daging
1 sudu besar cili blender
Daun kari (suka hati banyak mana, jangan penuh periuk sudah!)-Ayu gunakan 3-4 batang daun kari
3 biji buah pelaga
1 biji bunga lawang

Sebiji kelapa, ambillah santannya dan perahan kedua (pls refer to my tips)-Ayu gunakan santan kotak aje
600 gm udang basah (kopek kulitnya dan bersihkan, KULIT tu diBLENDER, ambil airnya)
1 kilo kerang (kalau tak mau kerang, boleh ganti dengan udang kering)-Ayu gunakan kerang
3 biji kentang - potong kecil-kecil
Tauhu kering (yg bila dimasak, nampak terapung dalam kuah)-Ayu gunakan taupok
1 bungkus fish ball (potong kecil-kecil)
2 keping fish cake (potong kecil-kecil)
Garam secukup rasa
Serbuk Perasa (Ajinomoto)
½ kilo sawi

(PERHATIAN: Saya sengaja masukkan sawi sekali dalam kuah, untuk jimatkan masa)

Bahan-bahan sayuran:-
1 bungkus Mee kuning (dicelur)
50 sen taugeh (dicelur)
3 biji telur (direbus dan dipotong 2 atau 4, ikut suka)
2 keping tauhu (digoreng, kemudian potong kecil-kecil)
Daun sup/daun bawang (dipotong halus-halus)
Cili merah (dimayang halus)
Bawang goreng
Daun pudina (untuk lebh "ummpph")-Ayu xletak ni

Bahan option:
Ayam goreng yg dicarik-carik.

Directions:
Tumis bawang merah & putih sehingga naik bau. Masukkan pes kari, cili blender, daun kari, buah pelaga
dan bunga lawang. Setelah semua bahan tadi ditumis hingga bau wangi, masukkan santan cair & kentang.
Biarkan sekejap. Kemudian masukkan juga udang basah, udang kering (jika ada), kerang, fish ball, fish cake,
air blender kulit udang dan biarkan dengan api yg sederhana.

Setelah kentang empuk, masukkan garam, santan pekat, serbuk perasa dan tauhu kering serta sawi. Kacau sehingga mendidih. Matikan api.Sementara menunggu bahan-bahan untuk kuah masak; sambil tu bolehlah kita celur kan mee dan taugeh.Telur pun mesti telah siap direbus. Kalau ada ayam goreng, carikkan sebagai hiasan dengan bahan-bahan lain.Setelah semua bahan diatur dengan rapi, bolehlah mengadap hidangan tuan-tuan & puan-puan di samping keluarga atau tetamu.

Ah! at the moment dah tak kisah lawa ke, resort ke, yang penting, just do the toilet so that it wont leak anymore and just wanted to carry on with our lives!..

1 batang serai-(1 lemon grass)

2 cm lengkuas-(2cm galangal)

Masukkan semua bahan sayuran, santan, air asam jawa dan kacau hingga masak.

Rasalah masin dan ma­nisnya. Gaul sebati sehingga semuanya masak.-(Heat oil and saute blended ingredients till oil rises up the surface. Add in vegetable ingredients, coconut milk, tamarind juice stir till cooked. Adjust the taste to salty and sweetness. Mix all till Incorporated and cooked.)

Salam dipagi Khamis yang mendung, dengan angin sepoi2 bahasa..sedap lagi kalau tarik bantal lagi..dan membuta tak hingat dunia..hehe..well, confirm tak boleh tidur punya, sebab dengan the kids berdua tu, dah bangun kalau cuba nak terlelap sekejap pun tiba2 salah satu terpekik ke or goncang badan kita time terlelap tu  boleh dapat serangan  jantung sebab terperanjat...!! Hasif pulak, semenjak balik dari China, been to school everyday..hai mengalahkan cikgu yang kena balik kesekolah pada musim cuti ni...

Since blog ni dah beberapa hari tak terupdate, kita masukkan entry for today..Nasi goreng tu I goreng pakai perencah yang kat bawah tu aje...hiris bawang, ketuk cili padi sikit dan tumis. Gaul perencah dengan nasi dulu. Bila bawang dan cili dah layu masukkan nasi gaul rata, lepas tu boleh pecahkan telur dan goreng hingga sebati. Actually nasi goreng kampung ni, sedap bila diletak ikan bilis, kangnkung dan sebagainya, tapi disebabkan I nak makan dengan Ayam Goreng Kunyit tu, so I just goreng the nasi simple2 aje..Idea datang buat nasi goreng ayam  kunyit ni, adalah dari pergi makan kat gerai, sepinggan macam kat atas tu S$6 tau!!..
so I decided to try kat rumah, muai jugak dapatlah satu family makan untuk brunch hari tu.(ini bukan menu hari ni ya)..

Actually untuk nasinya, rasa2nya, kalau digoreng macam nasi goreng cina pun boleh...untuk entry seterusnya, tengoklah dulu ya, kalau time permits akan kita post lagi nanti, but at the moment, sila2kan lah dengan nasi goreng ayam kunyit ni dulu ya..
