Sotong masak kunyit.

Back in college, we used to go to 6th college and had our dinner there.

One of the food I used to order is sotong masak kunyit.yummy!!







So here I am trying to cook sotong masak kunyit because I can't find one in la la land.
Of course lah takder kan.

So here's the ingredients.

Squid.Clean and cut.Sukahati lah nak potong besar mana.
Tumeric powder/ Tepung Kunyit.

Big onion.Sliced
Ginger chopped.
Carrot,jullienne.
Bird's eye chili.slice.

1.Mix the squid and tumeric powder.Mix evenly.
2.Heat the oil.Add in the squid.Stir around till all the water comes out.
3.Toss aside.
4.Heat the oil again.Saute the onion,ginger,chili, till it turns brown a bit.
5.Add in the carrot.Stir around.
6.Add in the squid.Salt to taste.



*Don't cook squid too long if not it will taste like rubber later.*

Cucur udang ,my kitchen version.

Cucur udang is like my fave food in this world and its really damn easy to make.
What you need is just prawn and flour and salt to taste.

Well you can add in some onion also in between.

Anyway this is my version of cucur udang.

Prawn. Deshelved. *I prefer to throw away the shelves.*
Self raising flour.Main agak-agak jer sukatan
Water.
Big Onions chopped.
Carrots, grated.Pending how much you want it.* suka-suka jer add carrot*
Salt to taste.
Oil for frying.

1.Mix the flour and water.Not to 'cair' and not too thick.Need to have the 'just nice' combination.
2.Add in the carrot,onion,prawns and salt to taste.



3.Fry in small batches.Once it turns golden brown, lift and pat the excess oil with kitchen towel.
4.Serve with chili sauce.

Butter Prawn

Last weekend, kak mas and I decided to do some experiment in kitchen.
Cooking butter prawn.

Google here and there.
You tube here and there.

So finally this is our version.



Prawns.We cut away the heads.
Butter *we bought the 200gm*
Chopped garlics.
Curry leaves.
Bird's eye chili.*can skip out if you are not die hard of chili*
2 egg yolks.
1 small can of evaporated milk.
Cooking oil for frying.

*Warning* 
Semua sukatan main agak-agak.

1.Melt quarter of the butter in the pan.Add in some cooking oil to prevent the butter getting brown in colour.Then add in the egg yolks.Stir around till it turns till golden colour.Toss aside.

2.Deep fry the prawn.

3.Melt the butter and add in some cooking oil.Saute the garlic,chili.Once it turns brown a bit campak in the prawns.Add in the curry leaves.Stir around for a while and then add in the evaporated milk.maybe around half can of the milk.

4.Serve in plate.Take the golden colour thingy from the first cooking and walaaa ready to be eaten.

baked chicken my style.

Since I'm exiting soon my dapur sudah lama tidak berasap.
No mood to cook already.
But then since my dear kakak-kakak request for the 'ayam panggang' I can't say No to them since I'm the one yang always 'makan free' at their house.
One month balik kampung for raya and they are so surprise to see I lose my weight.
See how much they feed me here..hehe



Ok now back to the recipe.

1 whole chicken.
Salt and pepper.
Rosemary or any herbs you want to use.
Lemon cut into half.
Olive oil.
Carrot * I use baby carrot*
Garlic.* 2-3 bunch of it,pending if you like roast garlic*
A can of kernel corns.
Potatoes..cut into cubes.
Big onions.cut and slice.

1.Clean the chicken, marinate it with salt and pepper and rosemary.
* I usually marinate the chicken for a day or 2-3 hours before cooking*

2.Stuff the lemon inside the chicken cavity.

3.Add in the carrot,corns,potatoes and garlic.Can add in pumpkin if you want too.
Just throw in anything you want to roast actually.I just love roast garlic.Roasted garlic taste like caramel.And roast pumpkin is finger licking good.But no pumpkin in the ref.

4.Dribble some olive oil on the chicken and vegetables.

5.Cook the chicken for about an hour in 180 celcius oven.If not sure just prick the thigh.The juices should run clear and the meat is tender.



Easy rite?
just campak jer..hehe
