Cooking My style : Kuih Ketayap Dan Ayam Goreng Kunyit

Masakan kali ini adalah berdasarkan apa yang ada kat dapur. Cuma disebabkan teringin nak makan kuih ketayap, jadi ke kedai la sekejap untuk beli kelapa parut. Kaau di Taiping, boleh kata semua kedai runcit ada jual kelapa parut. Tapi dekat Kota Damansara ni, kedai tertentu je yang ada jual, maklum la kat Taiping kalau nak santan mesti nak yang asli tapi kat sini orang selesa pakai santan serbuk ataupun santan yang dalam kotak. Lebih mudah dan cepat. Cuma rase nyer tak boleh lawan yang asli la.

Kuih Ketayap-Cara Saya

Untuk buat kuih ketayap cara saya memang mudah. Bahan2 pun yang simple ajer. Mula-mula sekali kena la buat inti kelapa. 

Kuih Ketayap

Bahan Inti

1/2 biji kelapa parut

2 sudu besar gula merah

2 sudu besar gula

sedikit air

Bahan Kulit

1 1/2 cawan tepung gandum

1 biji telur

sedikit pewarna hijau

air 

garam

Mula2 sekali, inti akan dimasak terlebih dahulu. Masukkan kesemua bahan inti ke dalam periuk dan masak dalam api sederhana. Kacau rata hingga sebati.

Untuk kulitnya, bancuh tepung dan bahan2 yang lain seolah-olah nak buat Lempeng cuma kena pastikan bancuhan tersebut lebih cair dari lempeng. Gunakan blender supaya bancuhan tepung menjadi halus. Dadarkan nipis-nipis dalam kuali yang diletakkan sedikit minyak masak. Setelah bahagian kulit menjadi masak dan agak kering, boleh la diangkat dan diletakkan inti. Gulung kemas dan siap untuk dihidangkan.

Ayam Goreng Kunyit


Untuk ayam goreng kunyit pun saya gunakan bahan2 yang dah sedia ada dalam peti ais. Walaupun bahan tak banyak, yang penting suamiku makan nasi tetap bertambah..hehehe. Pada saya, memasak di rumah tak semesti nya kena ada segala bahan2 macam yang digunakan kat hotel2 dan restaurant. Yang paling penting, secukup rasa.

Ayam Goreng Kunyit-Cara Saya

Bahan
Ayam dipotong kecil2 (nak lagi mudah beli chicken filet kat Giant)
1 sudu serbuk kunyit
1 biji bawang merah (besar sikt) - potongan pun kena agak tebal
1biji lobak merak- potong panjang
kobis bunga
garam

Mula-mula sekali, gaul ayam dengan kunyit dan garam. Goreng ayam tersebut menggunakan minyak yang agak banyak. Goreng sehingga agak2 garing, kemudian masukkan pula lobak merah dan kobis bunga. Bila lobak merah dan kobis bunga dah lembut, bolehlah dimasukkan bawang merah. Sayuran tidak perlu terlalu masak untuk mengekalkan khasiat yang terdapat dalam sayuran tersebut..mudah saja kan. Dah siap untuk dihidangkan.

Ini masakan CARA SAYA, orang lain mungkin lain caranya. Yang penting, kita happy..hooray!!

6 months - Mia my Baby

Mia is now 6 months old.. I am lucky as my eyes could see every growth she made day by day..That's a wonderful thing when you are full-time mummy..Actually, I wanted to start working again, to achieve my dream career ever. But at the same time, I don't want to lose watching my baby grow. Well, so far, I never feel regret to put aside my career ...At least, for this very moment..I am happy watching her growth. Below are baby’s 6 months developments.

• Grabbing, Shaking and Holding - It is easy to notice Baby's big movements as he sits, rolls over, and lifts his arms to be picked up. There are some equally important smaller movements that you may be observing too.

He is learning how to use his fingers, individually and together. He has already learned that they can be used to bat at things, hold and shake different objects, and bring interesting toys to his mouth. Now, watch as he learns they can be used as a tool to pick up very small objects.

By now, baby's eyesight has improved and is sharp—he can even see a raisin across the floor. You may see him using his hand like a rake over small objects. He may be trying to use his thumb and second and third fingers together to pick up these small objects—developing his pincer grasp. Most babies do not perfect this skill for a couple more months, but this raises the topic of safety. You must now be very careful of all small objects in his reach and make the time to baby proof.

While babies have perfected how to hold onto objects, they are just learning about letting go. Maybe you've seen your baby pick up an object and transfer it back and forth from one hand to the other. Again, manipulating the fingers to maneuver small objects is a skill that will continue to develop over the next few months.

· First Real Babbles - Many babies start to babble around the sixth month. You may even hear the long awaited, "mamamama" or "dadadada" Often, Baby says, "dadadada" first. It has no reflection upon whether baby wants to acknowledge Dad or Mom first. Baby will take his time trying to pronounce a variety of different babbles. He'll probably stick with one set for a while and then discover another.

Most parents ask if a baby is just making sounds or if he is calling out to his parents. He likely doesn't make the connection with the sound and the person just yet, but keep responding and repeating these sounds back. Pretty soon, he'll be calling out for you, specifically.

Mia babbles start with “mamamama”, sometimes its slow but sometimes so loud especially when we were in shopping complex…I think she kind of like people attentions towards her..hehehe

· Respons – By now, your baby recognizes and responds to his name. He may understand quite a bit of what you're saying, so keep talking. Tell him about the problem you're having with your boss. (Keep it clean, though!) Ask him to stick his "arms" into the sleeves of his "shirt." Spoon feed him his "mashed potatoes" before sprinkling some "peas" on his highchair tray. Just don't count on the TV to teach your baby language. True, people talk on TV, but person-to-person interaction seems to be a key part of language development.

Talk a little slower than normal when speaking to your baby (to help him separate out words) and avoid confusing pronouns. At this age, it's perfectly OK to say, "That's Joey's toy," instead of "that’s your toy." He’ll figure out pronouns sometime around agree three.

Mia's can now recognizes and response to her name. Whenever I called her name, she will surely look at me..if I smile, she will also smile..if I didn't, she will only stare blankly to me..hehehe..From my reading, 6 months old baby may understand quite a bit of what we are saying. This is so true with Mia.. When I say no, she stop on whatever she's doing..because my Mia is so curious..she like to touch and hold something which I think she supposed not to... I bought so many toys and yet, she prefer my keyboard, my remote control, boxes, my keys...

Cooking My Style : Cucur Badak

Dari resepi kat bawah ni dapat menghasilkan lebih kurang 15 biji cucur badak. Saya ngan hubby sekali ngap je 15 biji ni..betapa kami berdua terer makan..hehe

Bahan Kulit

1 biji ubi keledek ( sederhana besar)

Tepung gandum

Garam

Mula-mula sekali rebus ubi keledek dengan air. Letakkan sedikit garam. Masak sehingga empuk. Untuk tahu empuk atau tidak, cuba cucuk dengan garpu. Kalau  bila dicucuk, ubi agak lembut insyaallah, dah empuk la tu. Selepas itu, lenyek ubi keledek sementara ia masih panas. Saya biasanya guna lesung batu sebab lesung batu ni berat, Jadi kerja-kerja melenyek ni mudah sangat.

Apabila ubi keledek telah siap dilenyek, boleh lah dicampurkan tepung gandum sedikit demi sedikit. Tambahkan sedikit garam ke dalam adunan.  Dan adunan pula jangan lah  terlampau lembik atau keras. Ketepikan sebentar setelah selesai.

Bahan Inti

1/3 biji kelapa parut
1/2 cawan udang kering
1 biji bawang besar
2 batang serai
1 sudu kecil kunyit serbuk
5 tangkai cili kering (ikut kepedasan masing2)
1 sudu besar minyak masak
Garam dan gula

Blender udang kering, bawang, serai dan cili kering. Setelah agak halus masukkan kelapa parut dan diblender bersama.Kelapa parut tidak perlu terlalu halus. Yang penting kelapa parut dah bercampur sebati dengan bahan-bahan lain. Selepas itu panaskan minyak dalam kuali dan masukkan semua bahan yang telah diblender. Jangan lupa masukkan juga kunyit, garam dan gula kedalam kuali. Masak sehingga inti kering sedikit.

Akhir sekali, ambil adunan tadi dan buat bentuk bulat dan leper. Kemudian letakkan inti di tengah-tengah. Setelah selesai bentukkan adunan bulat-bulat. Kemudian boleh lah digoreng dia atas api sederhana besar. Dan siap dihidang. Best dimakan bersama-sama nescafe panas..Fuh!
