Pumpkin And Salted Fish Curry

Don't say anything unless you have cooked or you have tasted Pumpkin And Salted Fish Curry. Otherwise, leave it up to me to do the talking. Salted fish on the whole (Salted Fish Mango Sambal, Pada Salt Fish Pickle & Salt Fish Pickle)? In the first place, are you a salted fish lover? If you are, I say none further and when salted fish is cooked with pumpkin and in a spicy curry? Tad bit of sweetness, tad bit of sourness, tad bit of saltiness and a whole lot of spiciness. I think the picture of Pumpkin And Salted Fish Curry has also spoken? 

Ingredients
1/2 (abt 300g) pumpkin - remove skin and cut into chunks
120g thread fin/kurau salted fish - soak for 20mins, rinse and cut into medium size pieces
1 tbsp fish curry powder
1/2 lime - extract juice
1/4 cup oil
Salt for taste
Parsley/coriander leaves for garnishing

To blend/ground (for a thick paste)

1/2 inch ginger
5 shallots
1 (abt 100g) tomato
2 stalks coriander leaves
2 tbsp cooked white rice

Method
Mix  curry powder with the paste.
Heat oil and fry until aromatic and oil floats.
Pour 3 cups of water, stir and simmer.
Once heated through, add pumpkin, salted fish and lime juice.
Season with salt (if needed)
Simmer to soften pumpkin and salted fish.
(Note; both should cook at the same time for the same soft texture)
Heat through, remove from heat and combine in coriander leaves.

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.
