ROTI JALA...& Erti Kemerdekaan - A. Samad Said


Merdeka!
Merdeka!
Merdeka!

1 Malaysia Menjana Tranformasi....

Hari ni untuk iftar buat roti jala. Adalah ciri-ciri keMalaysiaan memandangkan hari ini genap 53 tahun Malaysia merdeka...Dah lama betul tak buat roti jala atau ada juga orang panggil roti kirai...Kali terakhir kalau tak silap masa zaman sekolah-sekolah dulu...uishhh, lama betul tu! :))) Oleh sebab ada permintaan bulan2 puasa ni kenalah juga membuatnya...Tengok la rupanya pun tak seberapa...tapi sebab dah berlapar seharian tentulah apa-apa sahaja yang ada atas meja makan tu semuanya sedap :)

Roti Jala

2 cawan tepung gandum
2 1/3 cawan air+santan...blh juga guna susu cair/fresh milk/low fat milk
1 biji telur ayam
sedikit garam
serbuk kunyit untuk warna...pewarna kuning pun boleh :))

Masukkan semua bahan dalam mesin pengisar dan kisar sehingga sebati...kalau agak pekat tambahkan air. Panaskan skillet/pan dan sapu minyak dengan menggunakan daun pandan pada pan. Isi acuan roti jala dengan bancuhan tepung dan kirai secara pusingan dalam pan. Bila dah masak, terus lipat ikut kreativiti masing2. Ulang proses sehingga bancuhan selesai. Hidang dengan kari, sambal atau serawa :)))

Kari Ayam

1 bahagian isi ayam - potong 3/4
5 sudu serbuk kari daging/ayam
1 biji kelapa - ambil santan
3 biji bawang besar - kisar
5 ulas bawang putih - kisar
1 inci halia - kisar
1 inci lengkuas - kisar
1 batang serai - titik
2 biji cili hijau
1 sudu besar kerisik
sedikit daun kari
sedikit rempah campak/tumis - bunga lawang/biji pelaga

Panaskan minyak dan tumis bahan kisar sehingga naik bau. Masukkan serbuk kari, ayam serta kentang dan masak sehingga mendidih dan kentang agak empuk. Masukkan santan, serai, asam jawa, cili hijau, kerisik, daun kari, bunga lawang, biji pelaga dan biarkan mendidih. Tambah perasa *jika perlu dan juga garam secukup rasa. Angkat dan biarkan selama 2,3 jam kemudian panaskan semula dan barulah dihidangkan :))


ERTI KEMERDEKAAN

SN A. Samad Said

Kita mencari hanya yang tulen dan jati
sekadar hidup mengerti dan berbudi
dan bumi akan subur, makmur dan mewah
jika kita bekerja dan berikrar hidup bersama
tanah air memberi banyak
mesra mendakap kita
kemerdekaan mendorong kita berdiri dan berbakti
dan dalam alaf baru
semangat kita wajar padu berjalan kita
atas nama tanah air dan bangsa
bangga kerana merdeka
megah kerana bahagia.

BAKTHIARI CHICKEN BBQ :)






Barbecue chicken Bakhtiari is a unique lemon (Citrus) flavored charcoal essence Farsi style BBQ recipe, which is commonly served during iftar in traditional and modern day Iranian homes. In our household, owing to schedules, we don’t get to spend much of iftar time at home together. So when we could, we make it extra special by cooking things up all together in the kitchen and then serving and enjoying it later at iftar. You may also use this BBQ recipe for lamb and beef. Alternatively, you could also put the chicken in parts onto skewers if you like. Commonly this BBQ dish gets served with traditional fluffy Iranian style rice cooked with a slight zesty taste of saffron. I must also apologize to all my dearest Malaysian cyber friends for not using Bahasa Melayu (my mother-tongue) when writing this up, as several of my non BM speaking friends have requested for this recipe as well, and in particular dearest Abby, I thought might as well just put it in English for all :)

Serves 5 (*leftovers can be made into sandwiches )

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken wash and dry.

For the marinade:
1 liter freshly squeezed lemon juice (I use the citrus variant)
Slices of lemon to rub on the chicken
4 table spoon of finely ground saffron (mixed with lemon juice)
4 large onions, finely chopped
8 cloves garlic, finely mashed
1 spoon full of thyme finely pounded
1 spoon full of rosemary finely pounded
a few strands of saffron finely pounded
4 table spoon of Dijon mustard (I prefer Dijon, but just any kind of mustard will do)
Salt and pepper to taste

How to make BBQ chicken Bakhtiari:
Mix the finely grounded saffron with the lemon juice until it is a thick consistency then add to the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well.




Rub the chicken with the slices of lemon to tenderize the skin then cover chicken with the marinade and leave in the fridge overnight or for 12 hours roughly. The Dijon mustard which is particularly strong and pungent would usually be able to seep into the fowl flesh structure faster than any other kind of mustard I have tried with before.Try not to rub any salt on the chicken’s outer skin as salt under heat would produce dryness, try rubbing the salt inside and within the chicken’s inner section instead. Then pour melted ghee and rub over chicken skin so that it becomes crispy under heat.

Put the chickens on metal dish (or metal skewers) and cook over a medium-hot charcoal grill or a hibachi. But I just use my kitchen oven as it has the ability for an even and near mesquite quality roasting, and basically I prefer electric over charcoal nowadays. Dress cooked dish with grilled tomato, potato and bits of fresh mint leaves.




Farsi rice has always been known to be almost totally starch free and aromatic. I have included below a simple recipe. Only that I have added ghee to the recipe for taste. Originally butter would be use instead of ghee but my kids prefer ghee over butter and so I substituted the two.

Properly wash the Basmathee (4 cups) in tap cold water and drain. In a skillet add 5 spoon full of ghee/butter and 1 or 2 tea spoon of sugar and fry for a couple of minutes. But do not let the sugar turns to brown; suffice for it to just melt over as we would want the rice texture to be yellowish and slightly golden later.

In a small bowl add 1 or 2 tea spoon of finely grounded saffron with lukewarm water and mix well then add in the uncooked rice. Immediately boil the rice with mixture, let it cook then add in the ghee and sugar which you have fried in the skillet earlier. The taste should ideally be very rich and creamy, slightly neutral in sweetness (not totally bland or sweet) and slightly saffron smelling. The color should be slightly yellowish resembling gold. That’s it, serve for iftar. Enjoy! :)

MOUHALABIEH - A Sweet Dessert For My Dearest Sister : Happy Birthday Rania :)




Mouhalabieh, mahalabiya, mahalabia, muhalabia or mahallabiyya is a simple, delicious middle eastern dessert with origins that traces back to Jordan, and it would always gets served after you have done stuffing yourself with the main course meal ;)


Ingredients:

3 cups rice flour
1 cup corn flour - I used custard powder...for a change :)
3 cups sweetened condensed milk
10-12 cups evaporated milk+water
2 pods cardamom - lightly crushed
pinch saffron threads *optional
3-4 tablespoons rose water
chopped pistachios and raisins to garnish :)

Directions:

Combine rice flour and corn flour. Add to a pot containing milk. Slowly bring to boil and whisk vigorously. Be careful not to scorch the mixture. Add cardamom and saffron* and continue stirring until the mixture thicken. Remove from heat, add rosewater and stir well. Pour pudding into cups and refrigerate to chill. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and raisins. Serve :)




Scientific researches have found that eating 1.5 ounces of Pistachio a day, coupled to a low cholesterol and saturated fat intake diet may actually be very good for cardiovascular health. So enjoy your Mouhalabieh :)

Suggestion: it is best after some refrigeration, but no too long or the pistachio bits would lose its crunchiness.

When God wanted us to have a sister

He sends us the best we could ever want

We treasure every memory we created

For it's unrivalled worth

No one can know us as we do

And all we treasure of our past

We have our special secrets

And understand each other's heart

We may not tell you as we should

How much you mean to all of us

So, today we send you lots of love

For today to be a treat

Have a special birthday then dear sis

You deserve the very best

And so we ask in prayer

For every moment to be blessed

And we keep your past by having sisters

And as we get older

They're the only ones who don't get bored

When we talk about our memories together...


Happy Birthday.....:)

BUBUR KANJI UTARA :)


2 pot beras yang sudah dimasak
1 biji kelapa - ambil santan
200 gm daging lembu - hiris nipis
10 ekor udang - buang kulit
1 batang serai - ketuk
3 ulas bawang putih - kisar
1 inci halia - kisar
5 ulas bawang merah/besar - kisar....lagi banyak bawang lagi sedap :p~
2 sudu besar udang kering - tumbuk
Sedikit lada putih
7 sudu besar minyak sapi untuk menumis


Tumis sehingga garing bawang putih, halia, bawang merah dan udang kering dengan minyak sapi. Masukkan nasi yang telah digaulkan dengan beberapa gelas air (supaya tidak berketul) dan kemudian direbus dalam air (saya guna air rebusan daging) sukatan agak setengah periuk. Masukkan daging, kepala udang *kalau suka, serai, lada putih yang ditumbuk dan masak sampai nasi hancur lebih kurang 45 minit. Pastikan api perlahan dan bubur selalu dikacau supaya tidak hangit. Kemudian masukkan santan dan akhir sekali masukkan isi udang. Biarkan mendidih seketika dan angkat. Akhir sekali, hidangkan dengan taburan bawang goreng *terlupa pula tabur bawang goreng :) dan daun bawang. Sesuai untuk hidangan berbuka puasa atau makan malam sebab nasi yang hancur memudahkan proses penghadaman. Bubur ni makan dengan sambal kicap pun sedap ! :p~
