hunger for burgers...

Craving for burgers for these past few days..so last2 sampai juga hajat nk makan..

but waittt!!! not burgers from Mc Donald's or Burger King...home-made burgers..hehehe

rindu nk wat sebenarnye.. dulu kat Perth selalu wat sbb mana nk cari burger halal kan..

so there it is.. chicken burger n lamb burger (whopper style)..

x susah pun nk wat..cuma amik :

FOR CHICKEN BURGER

1) Boneless breast chicken tu (kalu tebal cut 2 kasi nipis)

2) then celup with tepung (yg dh di bancuh ngan garam n baking powder) n salut with

breadcrumbs or kalu x ngan tepung (yg dh dicampur garam n pepper)

* i make my own breadcrumbs..by just blending 1 or 2 toasted bread..

3) pastu goreng..

4) chicken burger..makan only with mayo n lettuce..

FOR LAMB BURGER

1) mince the lamb/beef

2) letak pinch garam + pepper

4) then grill / masak atas pan without just a bit of oil..(biar x lekat)

4) makan like a whopper burger with tomato, mayo , lettuce n onion..

alhamdulillah....thank u Allah..!! ;))

Ikan Bilis Kicap

Disebabkan sambutan ke atas ikan bilis kicap agak memberansangkan, i will post the recipe..for those yang x tau n wanna try that is..

Ikan Bilis Kicap

Bahan
Ikan Bilis
Cili Padi (accordingly ikut kuantiti ikan bilis)
kicap manis
Bawang merah

Cara :
1. Goreng ikan bilis, asingkan.
2. Masukkan bawang + cili padi, dlm minyak yg sama, goreng sebentar.
3. Masukkan kicap, x yah byk sgt n jgn sikit sgt, setakat ader berkuah sikit..
4. Akhir skali, masukkan balik ikan bilis yg dah digoreng tadi n gaul rata.
5. x yah masukkan garam/gula, sbb ikan bilis tu dh masin, kicap lak dh manis..

sori la xde gbr, nnti dh ader gbr, i will paste it here..

pernah korang try wat kari sardin? sedap tau!! dulu sebelum kawen, my mom will always cook that bila abis bahan mentah, n lepas kawen, adik ipar lak ader try wat sambal sardin tapi x guna cili boh, guna cili padi serbuk kari n bawang je..

lagi satu kan..pernah x makan kari kacang hijau..ni kan resipi dr my late grandfather..the recipe originated nun jauh dr pakistan tu...x taula kalu korang pernah ternampak kari jenis ni kat restoran mamak ke x..

chapati la plak...

hahahaha just look at that chapati...woooo syukur alhamdulillah...
after several cooking class with mak..alhamdulillah berjaya jugak wat chapati..yeeeayyyy!!! x yah beli lagi...

selalu wat sebelum ni mmg end-up jadi cam flying saucer..what does that mean??
oh..when u put the chapati straight up ward, it wouldnt bend down..it kept straight like a flying saucer..hahahaha maksudnyer apa..keras la tu...x lembut!!

so kali ni hubby nyer test pertama is to put it straight upward..hahahah and it bend down nicely...waahh x sangka akhirnye leh wat..rupanye dulu silap sbb air x cukup panas n cara menguli salah..pas mak tgk how i did it..then mak bitau cara tu salah..
and same as my roti puri..pas tanya jaja baru tau what i did wrong...so the next one would be roti puri hhehehe...


we ate with kari sardin n teh tarik...hihi

ooh carenye mudah ajer..masa tu guna
2 cawan capati
1 cawan tepung gandum
1 mangkuk air suam panas..
sedikit garam
sedikit minyak

gaul dua2 tepung ngan garam, masukkan air panas, kacau ngan tangan secara clockwise..biler dh rata sumer tepung kene air n looked macam breadcrumb kasar yg besar2 pastu
* note - tak perlu tuang semua air dlm tepung, masukkan sikit demi sedikit n gaul clockwise sampai jadi breadcrumb kasar..bila adunan tepung dah jadi breadcrumb kasar..x perlu masukkan air lagi..go to the next step.

masukkan minyak sampai boleh diuli jadi doh..nk tau die lembut masa nak tarik putuskan doh tu mudah x, elastic sgt..

minyak tu agak2 je, maybe approximately..1/2 cawan minyak to 3/4 cawan minyak..
uli smpi minyak xde di jari..sbb akan diresap oleh doh..

then bulat2 kan sebesar bola golf..golekkan dlm tepung gandum biar x melekat masa canai..and goreng atas kuali / flat pan, under a big fire..
masa nk terbalikkan sapu minyak sapi/minyak biasa.
bile dh coklat serata sumer boleh angkat..

chicken pie

Ive made this pie several times before..many have asked the recipe. I got it from a link in one of my fav reading blog..happyhomebaking.
True to what she said, the crust taste and look similar to shortcut pastry..its easy and very amateur-friendly for people like me..

ive never done a pie before..and an attempt to make one has always made me wonder, should i invest in making one when knowing if it doesnt turn out well, its gonna be a waste..

after reading happy home baker's blog, ive tried it and alhamdulillah it turned out well...so here it is..u REALLY should try it out!!






Dough

150 gm butter
250 gm plain flour
1 tsp sugar
1 egg yolk
A pinch of salt
1 tsp of herbs ( mixed / rosemary)
100 gm yoghurt

Put all the ingredients, except yoghurt, in a mixing bowl. Rub butter into flour mixture until like breadcrumbs. Add in yoghurt and mix to a dough.
Dough will be very soft so need to keep it refrigerated for at least 30 mins.
>(i didnt refrigerate it, ive always knead it straight away)

* ive used this recipe to make two medium pie aluminium foil cases..but i only
managed to cover only one pie (base and top) the other x cukup..only managed
to cover the top..
* to get more dough to cover your pies, just double the qty..u'll get one big pyrex
pan(just like in the pix with my frens) and some extra dough for small pans.
in my case, i managed to fit 2 small oval pans (approx.5cmx12cm).and of course for
that u have to double ur fillings.

Filling ( adjust to own preference)

1 big onion diced
diced cooked potatoes
mixed vegetable
Sliced button mushrooms
2 chicken breast, diced
oil
½ cup water

Seasonings :
1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce
salt n pepper to taste

Heat abt 2 tbsp of oil and fry potatoes until golden. Set aside.
In a clean wok, heat 2 tbsp oil. Fry the onion until transparent. Add mixed vegetable, mushroom, chicken. Add in potatoes.
Add in water and cook for abt 5 mins. Add in seasonings.
Add in the cornstarch and stir to thicken mixture. Cool and set aside.
this dough is enough to make 6 half-cup muffin size pies.

Roll out the dough, cut the size required and place in a pie dish. Poke holes at the base using a fork. Put 2 - 3 tablespoons fillings in. Cut another piece of dough to cover the top. Poke a few more times using fork on the cover of the pie. Brush with 1 beaten egg. Baked in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 - 30 mins.

use remnant to make decorations for pies.

Murtabak Maggi Nonie..

Arituh try la wat resipi nih..taken from a food magazine here..Recipe plus
Skali dah siap..ehhh rase cam murtabak maggi noni(my sis-inlaw) ader skali tu noni wat..not the exact taste, but almost... oklah lepas gian.. nk wat murtabak noni tu guna maggi.. not good for the kids..n also for me since im breastfeeding..

she will only eat what we eat, alhamdulillah dah ader gigi byk sikit skrg..so leh la nk makan lauk yg everyone is eating..for lunch..kalu pasta tu blend sket..tapi lelama tu nnti die tgk lain je dr orang lain makan..die pun x nk makan...hihi..macam2 laa syirah nii...

so for this recipe..she ate alot..which im happy to share with any of u moms out there who has a fussy eater in the house like me.. (errmm yg lum ader anak lg n anak x fussy pun leh makan gak..hehe)




Curry Beef & Pasta Pie

100 g spaghetti
400 g minced beef
1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
1/2-1 tsp curry pwder
420 g mixed vegetables(corn, peas, carrot,potatoes)
4 onions thinly sliced)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1/4 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
6 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 tbsp milk

1. Preheat the oven to 180 deg celcius. Grease the appropriate dish to put your pie.
( i used a rectangle casserole dish)
2. Boil the spaghetti in plenty of water, breaking it in half. Cook until its tender
but still firm to bite.
3. Meanwhile, heat pan, fry all the vegetables with onions
4. Put in minced beef n add in curry powder n herbs.
5. stir well and pour in remaining ingredients.
6. Stir again and put in salt n sugar to your liking.
7. Pur the dish in your prepared dish n bake 35-40 min until set. Cool 5 min b4
cutting.

Just a note, for this recipe, again i halved the minced beef, saje nk jimat daging.
and telur pun sama..i only put 2 eggs and add the milk from 2 tbsp to 1/3-1/2 cup of milk yg dah ditambah dgn 1 tbsp of flour, the flour helps to 'glue' the sapghetti together instead of eggs and you know the milk is enough when you can see the liquid is almost to the top of your spaghetti dish.
The mixed herbs, i only used fresh resemary..if u dont have any, i guess it should be ok, and the mixed veggies, i cut each individually since i dont have the prepared pack of mix vege at home (except for peas, yg tu ader)
hmm apa lagi..oohh...parmesan cheese tu i used powder, since parmesan kat sini susah nk cari block parmesan yg halal, cheddar cheese i used kraft sliced cheddar cheese which i sliced thinly.

mak aaaiii byk nyer alterations..hehe... ok..guess that's about it. selamat mencuba!!
