AsSalam...
Bertemu lagi di hari ke-6 Ramadhan...jom rebut cpt2 RAHMAH dari ALLAH pada 10mlm yang pertama dlm bulan yang penuh kemuliaan ini.

Kalau ikutkn jadual menu iftar the AlmaRaz's, we're supposed to have these menu list but since family member is reducing so, menu pun ikut reduced gak lah.
My darl is hvg iftar at office.

So...tggal ber4 aje kat rumah so...food kene berpada2 je lah kan.

Our 6th iftar menu:

Here is the recipe for chicken soup. My family's fav except my darling (he's kind a person yg kurrreng skit dgn sup ayam). Kids' love the sup with spices rather than sup 'kosong'..I mean hat yg tak all the jintans.. :)

Our menu for 5th Ramadhan (Friday)

Set nasi ayam madu:

* nasi, ayam madu (dua ni je smpat berposing...gara2 nk cepat!), sup, sambal cili merah, sos kicap, lettuce, tomato

- lepat labu & donut

--supposed to have pasta carbonara but then seems we have enough food so mom omitted it--

Alhamdulillah

Below mom sharekn resipi adhoc donut.
Ada meeting yg terlajak panjang, so apa lagi, kerah anak kt rumah utk campakkan bhn2 ke dalam BM je. Dan2 smpai tu trus main2 doh lah.

Ni hat yg mom dah shake2 sikit utk buangkn extra mextra icing tuh...sblm ianya di-ngap! :)

Resipi donut simple
source: Chef Asma tp diubah suai sbb nak cepat

Bhn2:
500gm tepung all purpose
10g instant yeast
60 gm mentega
60 gm gula halus
1 sudu besar susu pekat manis
2 biji telur
secubit garam
200 ml air sejuk dari peti ais

Cara (my way of donut-making):
1. Masuk smua bhn dlm BM.
2. Dh siap uli, tumbuk2 doh, buat bntk bola then restkn skjp dlm 10min.
3. Bahagi pd dua, buat bntuk bola. Ambil satu then canaikn gna rolling pin (on floured surface). Tebal tu agak2 lah. Ambik gelas ke pe ke, tekap & just guna tutup botol kcik or whatever (utk buat lubang tgh2). Buat smpai habis, doh yg bulat2 kcik tu, just goreng je lah, jd donut cute2 gitu.
4. Biar ia naik skjp then goreng deep fry. 

5. Dah siap goreng, salut dgn icing sugar / castor sugar.

Ni rupanya kalau nak cepat, soh anak teruna uruskan hmmmm...selambak icing!

Sotong goreng kunyit still on spt dlm jadual, mom masakkan lah.

Ni resipi adhoc karipap mom hehe..

KARIPAP (inti daging)

Doh kulit yg rangup!

Memula nk buat karipap pusing tp xde marjerin.

So buat karipap biasa je lah.
Ni smua anggaran je ye sbb xde cwn pnyukat hehe

Doh:

2 1/4cwn tepung gandum

1/2cwn minyak (xsmpai half pun, panaskn dulu dlm kuali)

3/4cwn air  (adjustkn jika doh masih agak keras tmbah sedikit garam, kacau2)

Cara:

1. Sediakn tepung dalam satu bekas. Buat lubang di tengah.
2. Masukkn minyak panas ke dlm tepung, mula2 kacau2 dgn senduk, bila dh suam ramas2 dgn jari shj, smpai jadi crumbs.
3. Kemudian tambah air skit2 smbil uli & uli. Uli hgg doh tak melekat di tangan & lembut (jika masih keras, basahkn tgn dgn air & teruskn uli). Buat bentuk bebola besar. Siap!

Inti:

Semangkuk daging, mom blend utk jd minced meat

2 biji ketang, potong dadu
2sdb serbuk kari

Bhn tumbuk:
Cili kering 

Bwg merah
Bwg putih
Garam & gula secukup rasa
Seeikit air

Cara:

1. Panaskn minyak dlm kuali. Tumis bhn2 tmbuk hgg naik bau. Masukkan kentang & daging, biarkn ia masak (sambil tu kacau2) hgga air daging agak kering.
2. Tambah serbuk kari, sedikit  air & kacau2.
3. Perisakn dgn garam & gula, masakkn hgga kentang empuk. Siap!

Utk membuatnya, Bahagikn doh kepada 16 (saiz terpulang lah ye).
Buat bentuk bebola kecil2.
Guna rolling pin (ni mom guna gelas je, adhoc kata kan :-) ) then canaikn doh. Letak inti & katupkan then buatlah simpul2 tu.
Buat smpai habis.
Goreng deep fry, api medium.
Siap!

Inti boleh pelbagai ikut citarasa. Mom lebih suka buat guna ubi keledek (sweet potato) sbb dah sebati dgn jiwa :) unless adhoc case macam ni hihi...

Inti daging dh siap, canai doh kulitnya atas talam aje yer heheh
