NADAN CHICKEN CURRY AND AN AWARD

If you think about curry, it has a lot of variation from state to state of India. Even this Nadan Chicken Curry has a lot ways to prepare it. Tried this, it is creamy and spicy, loved by my children. Used less coconut milk but you could add more if you want. This curry is best served with naan, prata or even rice.

FISH TEMPRA

My children love to eat fish but preferred the one with less bones like threadfin, sea bass or red snapper.   It was safer for young kids to have boneless fish  or fish fillet  unless you have time to remove the bones before feeding them 

After having curry dishes, decided to cook this dish using soy sauce and bird's eye chili. The eating session ended with smiling face and it is finger licking good. Using fish fillet for this  Fish Tempra   recipe.

KUIH BAKAR KENTANG

This is traditional kuih of Malaysia and Singapore, made of wheat flour, coconut milk, mashed potato and sugar then bake for at least 40 minutes. This kuih has so many versions and in the olden days, it is cooked using charcoal, the coconut itself is picked from our own garden, grated and squeezed by hand to obtain the coconut milk if compare with today's life it is so convenient, one click does it all. I have modified the recipe to make it eggless and used evaporated milk. Thanks Jun for sharing this recipe.
