PARATHA ROLL

Prepared this  Paratha Roll  for our dinner and well received by my family members. This healthy flat bread consists of two parts, the filling and the bread.First you have to prepare the filling and let it cool before you proceed.

Next to mix up the dough and leave for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough  into round shape, fry on flat pan with little oil. Once it is fried, put the filling at one end then roll up. It is best  eaten hot. Add more green chili or chili powder according to your preference.

It is not necessarily be spicy, feel free to adapt to your taste, even by spreading nutella or jam will taste great.

SPICY NADAN TOMATO FISH

Instead of normal fish curry, I tried this  Spicy Nadan Tomato Fish recipe by Roselle which is a hit with my family. It has sweet, slightly hot and tangy taste the way I like it. Sweetness comes from the onion used and recommended that you lightly fry the fish before adding to the gravy.

If possible try to use bigger fish with less bone and thick flesh. Adding chili powder and tamarind can be adjusted to your liking. This recipe produces rather thick curry but if you want more gravy, do add more water but not too much.

SPAGHETTI W/TOMATO SAUCE

Bored taking rice daily so prepared this  Spaghetti w/Tomato Sauce for our lunch with little twist by adding chili powder, tomato sauce and also chili sauce, received compliments from my family. You can use other vegetable and substitute
prawn with chicken or meat. The thickness of the sauce is up to you so adjust accordingly.

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..

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Ventured into making my own bread by hand  and tried this recipe by Southern Food with slight adjustment by me. Although I'm not the pro the result is not disappointing at all. The main ingredient for baking bread is the yeast, use either instant or active dry yeast and make sure the yeast is still active if not throw it away. To check whether it is active or not simply pour warm water ( not hot)  into a bowl and sprinkle the required yeast and sugar, wait for 10 minutes if the mixture resembles creamy foam then you can go ahead baking your bread.  Cinnamon Raisin Bread produces nice aroma due to the cinnamon used.
