Salt Fish Pickle

Oh-Oh-My! Shall we speak about Salt Fish Pickle? I am already salivating. Imagine salt fish in a sour, sweet and tadbit of spiciness vinaigrette? What a? I really don't know what to say. But if you are a salt fish lover and if you love our Malaysian big, bold flavours, I bet Salt Fish Pickle will never ever let you down. Just a tiny bit as an accompaniment for your rice meal. Which also means you can make salt fish pickle ahead and store in the fridge. Can last. Last maybe for a month or so. Provided you use a clean spoon for scooping out and vinegar by far, is a natural preservative. Salt Fish Pickle. Do I have to repeat myself again? 

Ingredients:
100g salt fish (thread fin) - soak for 10-15mins, cut into small pieces, deep fry and keep aside.  

Other ingredients:
1 medium size onion
2 green chillies
3-4 birds eye chillies (optional)
1 inch ginger
5 cloves garlic
** these ingredients to be chopped or thinly sliced. 

4 tbsp apple cider or white vinegar (more or less) 
1 1/2 tbsp brown or sugar 
1 1/2 tsp turmeric/kunyit powder (more or less)
3 tbsp oil
1/4 cup water
Salt - as needed 

Method:
When oil is heated, put in all the chopped/sliced ingredients.
Stir for 1-2 mins. 
Add turmeric powder.
Stir well and combine in vinegar, sugar and water. 
Let it simmer to a boiling point. 
Add fried salted fish. 
Stir together and remove from heat.  
Keep aside so that the vinegrette is totally absorbed before storing in the fridge.

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.
