I'm back

Hiatus for almost 2 years, I am back!!
Finally I have time for this. I have stopped work for 2 months, preparing for my wedding and migration. It's definetely a good time to recharge and spend time with my family before leaving Singapore.

Anyway, I was browsing my mum's recipe book few days ago and found few good recipes. I guess putting in online will be the best way for me to refer back when I need them later.

Ayam Kalasan

3 chicken (cut into 4 each)
1 fresh coconut (water only)
1 bulb garlic
4 small onion
3 stalk lemon grass
5 daun salam (bay leaves)
1 tbs coriander powder
palm sugar and sweet soy sauce (to taste)

Put all ingredients into a pot. Make sure the chicken pieces are covered with coconut water. If it's not enough, you may add water. After 2 hours, boil all ingredients until the water dries up.

Lightly deep fry the pieces.

I have Ayam Penyet's recipe as well. However, it's not detailed. Well, I just have to play the guessing game, anyway the basic ingredients are good enough for me to experiment.

chicken
candle nuts
turmeric
garlic
onion
bay leaves
lemongrass
galangga
coriander powder

Blend all except chicken until it's soft. Add some water. Cook until the liquid remaining is halved. Strain and use this stock for the crispy bits. Add equal amount of maizena and rice flour.
