Murukku - Amma's Instant Version

Looking back, I can clearly recall I made murukku only once in my entire life. Thereafter, I realise its easier to crunch and munch compared to making these crispy and tasty snack, a must for the festival of light, Deepavali. Having failed at the first attempt, I now run to my nearest saviour. Who else except amma. Similar to all the previous years, mum ever willingly make. But she has slowed down because age has caught up. So, no more making murukku from the stretch. Instead, its with instant ready made flour which some people are so anti-against. Let them be. Like I care anyway or should I worry about what other people are doing, for mum and myself, we have no qualms to ready made instant flour murukku which does not fail us. If you one like us, then I suppose this murukku recipe is for you. 

Ingredients
3 packets of ready-made murukku flour (500g each)
25g butter
3 cups thick coconut milk
1 cup plain water
2 tbsp cumin seeds
5 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
3 tbsp omam (ajwain) seeds
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Tamarind/assam(one small ball - to prevent murukku from becoming too oily)

Method
Heat  butter in a pan to melt.
Pour coconut milk and water. Lightly heat up (no need to boil).
In a mixing bowl, add  flour, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, omam seeds and salt.
Pour the prepared butter and milk mixture, mix and knead for a thick dough.
(Note: add more water if needed).
Keep aside the dough.

Heat enough oil and put in the tamarind ball.
Use the murukku mould, load with a little of the dough and press in a circular mode.

Fry murukku in batches until light golden brown.
Drain excess oil before storing in air-tight container.

Malaysian Sodhi (Indian Coconut Milk Stew)

Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of  Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o

Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)

Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes  Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis  &  Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish  & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below

Restoran Orkid Thai - Section 9, Shah Alam

By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from  my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
