RAMADAN 18 IFTAR MENU - CHICKEN TOMATO RICE, SHRIMP SALAD, BLACK GLUTINOUS RICE KUIH KOCI AND WATERMELON-LEMONADE DRINKS





It's 18 day of Ramadan, 12 more days to go!!!!Alhamdulillah so far so good and in this hot sunny weather we tend to be more thirsty then hungry. I'm running out of idea as what to cook. There's not much request from the children and worse of all I am not getting any response from them, so I just follow my instinct and cook what I think was best for the Children. I cooked Chicken Tomato Rice, a classic tomato rice with chicken, along with shrimps salad. As for dessert I made Black Glutinous Rice Kuih Koci an all time Malaysian delicacy and Watermelon-Lemonande Drinks.



Tomato rice
(a simplified version, modified from the original tomato rice. I added chicken fillet in this rice.... just to skip making another side dish.

Add slices of fresh tomato and shredded carrots in the rice. Ideally this tomato rice goes well with curry or korma, with cucumber relish and pappadom.
