BUKA PUASA MENU - MURUNGAI SHRIMP CURRY, CHICKEN MARINADE AND SERIMUKA PANDAN

Shrimp Murungai Curry

 

Rassam

Chicken Marinade

Fried Papadom

Serimuka Pandan

These were our " buka puasa" menu yesterday. Simple Indian cuisine that my children had been requesting for quite sometimes. Yesterday and two weeks from now the whole household will be fasting. The breakfast session will take a break for this two weeks period. I will be sharing with you my " buka puasa" menu. Weekend will be as usual, we break from fasting on the weekend. So stay tune with me on my "buka puasa" menu.

When come to food my children are really fussy, if I cook any Indian cuisine they want it with banana leaf, however yesterday I couldn't find any banana leaf so we ate our rice in a normal plate. I cooked Shrimp With Murungai Curry, Rassam, which only me consumed the rassam, I normally drinks rassam to heat up the whole entire body system, Marinade Fried Chicken, where I marinated the chicken with lemongrass and galangal. I marinated the chicken early in morning and fried it half an hour before breaking fast. As for dessert I made Serimuka Pandan - Steamed Glutinous Rice Cake With Custard Pandan Topping, made it early in the morning, Drink of Day, I prepared Basil Seed Syrup Drinks and some dried papaddom that really spice up the entire Indian cuisine.

Moringa, popularly known as "The Multipurpose Tree of Life" is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Moringaceae. Moringa has 13 species altogether. They grow from tropical to subtropical climates. The trees range in size from tiny herbs to massive trees.

The generic names is derived from the Tamil word murunggi or the Malayalam word muringa, both of which refer to Moringa oleifera.

Asalamualaikum semua, semalam seisi keluarga berpuasa termasuk anak lelaki saya yang sedang cuti semester , ada yang qado' puasa, ada yang ambil keberkatan sunat sya'ban. Mulai semalam dan dua minggu akan datang PATY'SKITCHEN Breakfast Menu akan bercuti, walau bagaimanapun saya akan bersiaran untuk menu berbuka puasa sepanjang dua minggu ini, kemudian berehat seketika dan sambung semula menu " berbuka puasa sempena Ramadhan pula. Sekejap ya masa berlalu, pejam celik pejam celik dan nak masuk Ramadhan, dah nak masuk Raya, dan nak cuti sekolah, dah nak masuk tahun baru.   Tak terkejar dibuatnya.

Untuk menu semalam saya masak ala banana leaf masakan Indian, saya masak kari udang dengan buah mungai, rassam, ayam goreng perap, serimuka dan sirap selasih. Menu ini memang kesukaan anak-anak dan kalau selalunya dia orang akan request nak makan dalam daun pisang, tapi kali ini makan cara biasa aje, payah nak cari daun pisang. Rassamnya cuma saya seorang aje makan, bukan makan saya hirup macam minum kopi , sedap buat panaskan badan. Pemanis mulutnya pula saya buat serimuka, buat subuh-subuh pagi, senang gitu sebab serimuka ini perlukan masa yang panjang sebelum dipotong. Petangnya saya menumis kari dan siap minuman aje.

Next Post - Ayam Goreng Perap.
