NASI LEMAK

Nasi lemak or coconut milk rice is normally served at breakfast together with sambal tumis, ikan bilis (fried anchovy), fried fish or fried chicken, egg and cucumber. But one thing to note, you can't eat them regularly since it is high in cholesterol. As time goes this dish is so famous in Singapore and Malaysia, enjoyed by all races, readily available throughout the day even in shopping malls, the accompaniment also multiply that include rendang, sambal sotong (squid cooked in chili), otak-otak and many more, you are spoilt for choice.

CORN PULAO

It is so simple to prepare and very tasty too. Addition of whole kernel corn in this recipe makes it more flavorful and nutritious. You can either use fresh of frozen corn. Corn Pulao can be eaten with any hot curry or just yogurt for vegetarian version.

Using rice cooker is the best option but you can also cook them on stove top but once the water has evaporated, close the lid and continue cooking with lowest heat.

TOMATO RICE

There are so many ways to prepare this  Tomato Rice but this turns out great. I'm using long grain rice but you can also use basmati rice. If you're using basmati rice, do soak the grain for 20 minutes then drain. Basmati rice produces perfect rice all the time, it has special aroma.

It is highly recommended to use rice cooker for cooking this dish in order to avoid sticking to the bottom if not just use ordinary pot but once the water evaporates you must use the lowest flame to continue cooking the rice until it is done.

PEAS PULAO

If you're looking for easy and delicious rice, this is for you. Using basmati rice and green peas (fresh or frozen), it is very mild and fragrant.  Peas Pulao  is great for unexpected guests or for small gatherings.

Soak the rice for 30 minutes before you start cooking. It is best served with spicy gravy of meat, chicken or vegetable.

Now this dish has became our regular menu on weekend. Let's get cooking..
