Hi darlings. I know. I
have been missing in action (MIA) in this precious space of mine. Been, like,
almost two weeks or so, right? Sort of. Actually, I didn’t even keep tap how
long it has been. Anyway, what’s been going on with me, if you would like to
find out? Even if you are not interested in finding out, I will still tell you.
Aha! Life has been bustling with all
sorts of things. As usual. What else is new. But now, it’s even more bustling.
I’m now like the queen bee building my honey nest. Meaning. I have been working
on a couple of things, including educating myself. Educating in the sense, not
so much for flaunting my credentials, actually, come to think of it, why not.
But more to that, educating myself so that my customers and clients are
confident in the services or products I am offering them. Apart from, of
course, credentials and qualifications, for knowledge gaining, for knowledge
thirsting and for the learning curve to go up in the industry I am in. There’s still
more groundwork to be worked on and hopefully, all will fall in place. Not hopefully
actually, they must and they should.

Indonesian Vegetarian Red Chilli Brinjal/Terung Kampung Masak Cabe Merah (Vegetarian)
Ahhh! Direct translation of recipes? The names primarily. Quite a thing in instances like for this dish - Terung Kampung Masak Cabe Merah. A vegetarian version (Indonesian Potato Tauchu, Water Spinach Salad, Spicy Fermented Soy Beans & Spicy Sweet Brinjal) obviously as I have mentioned. The thing as well? Even though my formal education till my secondary level has been in our local language, Bahasa Malaysia, which by far, as far as I know, can be regarded as a cousin of Indonesian language? I still struggled in translation the name of this recipe. Furthermore, due to, this dish is my invention based on all my previous Indonesian recipes. Still, the best thing is not to give up. Therefore, I have named it as Indonesian Vegetarian Red Chilli Brinjal.

Malaysian Banana Sweet Porridge/Pengat Pisang
Whatever said
and whatever done, at the end of it all, nothing like our Malaysian desserts, aka
kuih-muih. For this lady, who goes by her pen name “The Crazy Lover”. she, yes,
she alright, will never stop jumping up and down, and as high up to the sky as
well for her country loved traditional desserts. After all, the fact is that, the
best desserts in the world can’t be from any other country except Malaysia.
Yeh! Shout out to this, typical, authentic and traditional Malaysian. Our
Malaysian desserts. They are not super dependent on oven. They just need a
stove. Also, the open air, over the charcoal grilling and of course, why not to
oven baking when the need warrants for.

Malaysian Banana Fritters (Pisang Goreng Malaysia)
What have I been up to? Ah! Until you haven’t heard of me in this precious space of mine and including my YouTube channel which has been idle. Let tell you now. The two main highlights for me right now? The two major highlights I am currently working my butt out? The pride of mine I am working towards to? One. I’m still at my thesis. My thesis towards obtaining? MSc.Yoga. Plus. This thesis to be converted to a book. My first ever book for publication as E-book and this book, complimentary to all your darlings. Apart from, of course, it’s gonna be my contribution to the yoga world. E-Book is definitely going wake up, all you up immediately. Because. It’s me in my book. The funky, fun, happy, liberal, open minded, bubbly and joyous Ms. Nava. An open book. The yoga openness. That’s about it I am unveiling right now. Ditto.

Nava’s Sambar/Nava’s Indian Dhal Curry
Nava. Of course.
Nava K. Aka, The Crazy Lover. My-my-mind-you! I can cook. I can of course.
Maybe not extended to as a Michelin starlight, starbright, kinda cooking. But? A decent meal
at home. Cooked with love and basic, homestyle dishes mainly and mostly for the loved ones at home. Anyway. Or my way. Or your way. Or whoever's way? There’s only two of us in my house and food? Food is always. Forever.
The food of priority towards my Indian other half-half. My Indian other
half-half? Of course. As always, Indian food. The comfort food (Mysore Sambar, Andra Sambar, Drumstick Sambar & Udupi Sambar). The commonality
food. The known food and the food that has been repeated, over and over again, like? To tell you the
truth? I can’t even recall the number of times I have made Sambar/Indian dal
curry (Palakura Pappu, Spinach Dal Curry, Bitter Gourd Sambar & Sambar). For a fact, countless times for the years I have been married to him. Sambar again? Obviously. This time? Named as Nava K's Sambar/Nava's Dhal Curry. Furthermore? Honestly, nothing furthermore I want to say. Best will be perhaps, how about you reading all my sambar/Indian dhal curry stories in the other types of sambar recipes (Tanni Saar & Moong Dal Curry) I have linked within this intro. Right. Let's hit the recipe now.

Malaysian Rasam. Quick & Easy Rasam/Instant Indian Healthy Pepper Soup
Oh-Dear-My-Nava K! My blog. Blog of mine. This blog of mine. Obviously? Been neglected. My last blog pitching? 16th April (Som Tam/Thai Green Papaya Salad). Right now, you must be asking me why I have not been updated my blog right? No worries. I'll spill the beans right now and the beans will lead to? My yoga journey. Journey which has started very promisingly and this journey has been keeping me on my toes. Apart from the pressure I have been putting on myself, in finishing up my International Yoga Instructor Course. Plus, my thesis for my Master Of Science Yoga. Yes. I have to. Clock is ticking. Time is running out, and time is running really fast. Furthermore, not to forget about my home affairs chores. The cooking, washing, cleaning, as well as I am an avid home gardener and other things that I need to balance at home. Pretty much summing up or down? Why blog has been neglected.

Indonesian Potato Tauhu/Kentang Tauchu Indonesia (Vegetarian)
Keep your food
journey interesting. Keep your food love exciting. And keep your food happiness
trilling, frilling and sexciting. Why not? After all, food is the primary
reason why we work. For a decent meal on our table, for our hunger and for the ultimate satisfaction
to our palates. Of course, we can prefer familiarity. I mean, we may be inclined to
our comfort food. But if you are an adventurous foodie or food lover like me, we do have
options to other cuisines from all around the globe. And food from the Asian continent
personally for me, is my utmost food love . Take for example
Indonesian food. Aha! Me! The food hero to Indonesian food and you know what? You can effortlessly convert Indonesian dishes to a vegetarian food trail (Urap Kangkung/Water Spinach Salad, Tempeh Orek/Spicy Fermented Soy Bean & Terong Balado/Spicy Sweet Brinjal). Like this Indonesian Potato
Tauhu/Kentang Tauchu Indonesia. Where did the recipe spring from? The mind of
this “The Crazy Lover”. Enough said, to the recipe now please.
