Looks yummy right. It's very simple. I had my sardine sambal with an omelette and some cut cucumbers as can be seen below. The sambal is very simple to make: Soak about 20 red dried chillies after deseeding in hot water and then blend in a blender with tomato, onion, 2 pod of garlic and a dash of soya sauce with some salt to taste with 2 teaspoon of oil. In a wok with some oil, add green chillies, tomato(like in the pic) and fry the sambal paste until it is fragrant and then empty the sardine and then put in the onions which is cut into wedges. Don't forget to add salt. Cook for sometime on high flame and after that simmer until the oil comes out. Garnish with corriander. Voila and it's ready. Simple right, food for the God's or lazy humans like us. Serve it with steamed rice and the omelette( see my blog on steamed omelette). I love basmati, the aromatic rice from India. It is heavenly and words just can't describe it...it melts in your mouth..... Like they say, c...

Doesn't it look yummy but it is really potent (pungent). The redness is due to the chillies but as they say, chillies makes you lose weight, so the more the merrier. Seriously, it was yummy what I cooked, chicken sambal and I was sweating profusely from my head and that is an indicator that it was hot. If you want the recipe, please let me know and I will post it in my next posting as it is one of the simplest recipe there is.

It’s defined in the web dictionary as “Thin soup made out of tamarind and spices”. And today I was looking at the web for an easy rasam recipe but I somehow found that it was rather complicated. I made rasam for lunch and have enough of it for a couple of meals. Rasam is very easy to make and I guess you can say that it is a “bachelor’s soup or broth”. You can have this soup with plain steamed rice and maybe with some fried papads. I like it with omelette or “ikan bilis” (anchovies) and maybe some cucumbers. I took the photo of the rasam as it was boiling and I would like to share my version of the rasam recipe for you to try it. Ingredients 1. A stalk of curry leaves 2. A handful of sambar dal (tavur dal) 3. 5 red dried chillies 4. 3 green chillies 5. 4 pods of garlic 6. 1 teaspoon of black peppercorn 7. 1 teaspoon of mustard 8. A pinch of asafoetida 9. 3 large ripe tomatoes 10. A bunch of coriander leaves cut into tiny pieces 11. ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 12. 1 teaspoon of chilli po...

I would like to share with you my chicken curry recipe which I had posted on my Opera blog last year. I am going to write it down in simple steps so that you can try this simple recipe out. The photo that I posted along with this blog is taken from the web and you would see that it is floating in oil........but I can assure you that my recipe would be with less oil and also fat free with the exception of coconut milk that I would use which is optional. Here it goes.... I usually buy my chicken from the supermarket, the dressed version without the skin and I spent a great deal of time actually removing what ever fats that are on the chicken. I throw away the neck piece and the bishops nose. I would serialise the ingredients with its narration. Ingredients 1. A medium size chicken of about 1 kg. Use about half the chicken and keep the rest for next time. 2. Remove all fats and cut the chicken into small size, keep the drumstick whole and the wings you can cut the mini-drumstick. 3. Ingre...
