Recipe :Pulut Inti – Sweetened coconut rice

0 comments
It’s the season of Ramadan, that means its 29 or 30 days of fasting for my Muslim friends. Thereafter it is Eid al-Fitr, which  marks the end of the Ramadan period. The days leading to Eid is always greeted with a lot of buzz in Malaysia, there will be hawker stalls set up all over the place each of them with mouth watering delicacies. I always look forward to the Ramadan period when back in Malaysia where we all stock up our dinner in the evenings and wait in anticipation for the call to break-fast. Not that I’m Muslim, but the anticipation of breaking fast with my Muslim friends makes it all so much more enjoyable.
One of the many great things about Ramadan season is we Malaysians really make the effort of bringing out the goodies, food that we don’t usually have, food that I would have only have dreamt about during dinner parties organised by my Muslim friends.

So, this year being so far away from my Malaysian Muslim friends, I’ve decided to do a little tribute piece; Pulut Inti – glutinous rice topped with caramelised shredded coconut flesh wrapped in banana leaf. This is probably one of the simpler Malay dishes I know of or even dare to prepare. Hope you guys enjoy it.
To my UK Muslim friends: Happy Eid.
And to my Malaysian Muslim friends;
Selamat Hari Raya Eidil Fitri – Semoga makanan tradisi membawa pulang memori bahagia dan kita pulang kepada mereka yang tersayang.
sweet coconut rice

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 250g palm sugar (get the powdered ones)
  • 1 tbs corn starch
  • 250g glutinous rice (soaked for at least 3 hrs – overnight if possible)
  • 2 sheets of banana leaves (blanch your leaves before using, for hygiene purposes)
  • 200 ml coconut milk

Method

  • Start by mixing your glutinous rice with coconut milk, then steam for a good 30 minutes until rice is fluffy and translucent. When done, set aside and allow to cool.
  • In a medium heat pan, dissolve palm sugar with 5 tbs of water. Keep stirring until your palm sugar becomes syrupy. Word of caution, caramelised sugar can be very hot. Please be careful
  • Add your shredded coconut to the dissolved sugar and stir until the coconut shreds are evenly coated. Feel free to add more water if the solution is insufficient to coat the coconut shreds
  • Next, mix corn starch with half cup of water and add to your coconut mix. This should give it a thick and moist texture. Allow to cool
  • Cut your coconut leaves into 2 X 4 inches length for the wrapper
  • With your cooled glutinous rice, grab a fist full and shame it into cone with the tip pointing upwards then place it on your banana leaf
  • Grab about a nub of sugar coconut mix and squeeze it until firm then press down on the tip of your glutinous rice
  • Finally wrap the rice with banana leaves. Start by folding in both lengths until it is 4/5 the height of your fillings. Then wrap under both the sides. If this description fails, refer to the images above.
  • You can serve this warm (stick it in the microwave for 30 secs) or cold. Whichever tickles your fancy.
  • Good luck! (http://www.cintadapur.com/)

Ayam Penyet Ria – Smashing Chicken

following my negative review of » Ayam Bakar Ojolali – Forgettable Javanese Cuisine



http://sparklette.net
>ayam bakar ojolali in lucky plaza, several readers left comments urging me to visit another indonesian eatery located within the same building —

» Ayam Penyet Ria” 

ayam penyet ria is an indonesian restaurant with franchises in jakarta, medan, batam, surabaya and now, singapore. apparently it is so popular, it has opened two outlets in lucky plaza alone, and a couple more across the island. even so, we had to queue for some time before we could be seated. such is the popularity of this place!
the house specialty item was obviously the ayam penyet (”ayam” is “chicken”; “penyet” is “to flatten”). this is an authentic indonesian dish of chicken that is deliberately smashed with a wooden mallet after deep-frying, apparently to loosen the meat from the bone.



Spicy dish Nasi Ayam Penyet (Smashed Fried Chicken with Rice)
Price: $5.50
Dish rating: Dish ratingDish rating
the chicken had been deep-fried to a golden yellow and was very crispy on the outside. that’s great, except that it was the driest thing ever! to my utmost disappointment, i had trouble eating it because it was so damn dry!
in all fairness, i might have had really high expectations because of all the hype surrounding ayam penyet ria. but i’m a chicken lover, and i know a good chicken dish when i see one. this one did not make the cut.
additional bits of fried batter had been tossed into the dish for good measure. there were also some greens and a chunk of fried tofu, which were okay.
at the very least i got a real kick out of the chili sauce, which packed such a powerful punch that most of us couldn’t finish it! it was tangy, really spicy, with just a touch of sweetness.
my eyes turned red and my nose was running even as i stole more chili sauce from the plate of the nearest person while reaching for tissue paper. yes, i look bloody unglamorous when eating spicy food, and i totally do not care. that chili sauce was strangely addictive! all things considered, it went very well with the dry chicken.



interestingly, the rice was served on traditional plates with the classic rooster print. i found that pretty charming because such plates are rarely in use these days.
anyway, i highly doubt that i would return to ayam penyet ria. after all, if i want some good ol’ indonesian chicken, i might as well have the best right? and that’s at » Riverside Indonesian BBQ – Best Grilled Ayam of All Time
riverside indonesian bbq
in plaza singapura. the chicken there is grilled rather than the deep-fried ayam penyet, which is fine by me.

Nasi Lemak Recipe (Malaysian Coconut Milk Rice with Anchovies Sambal)

0 comments


Nasi Lemak
As a self-proclaimed Malaysian home cook, it’s a shame that it took me so long to prepare nasi lemak, the de facto national dish of Malaysia. In my opinion, a truly remarkable nasi lemak is not to be taken lightly; it should fulfill a few requisites: quality, texture, flavors, and, of course, the right ingredients. This past weekend, I finally found the time and dedication to make this legendary dish.
Pandan Leaves / Screwpine LeavesThe difference between a good nasi lemak and an exceptionally marvelous nasi lemak lies in the use of pandan leaves/screwpine leaves. Possessing highly fragrant floral smell, these leaves are used abundantly in Malaysian cuisine to infuse rice dishes or desserts with the signature aroma; a nasi lemak will not be a true nasi lemak without their presence. The other main ingredient of nasi lemak is dried anchovies, or known locally by ikan bilis. These little salted fish are used in the sambal.
Ikan Bilis / Dried AnchoviesAs sambal is of the essence when making nasi lemak, I was extremely zealous when preparing it. I shun away from electrical appliances. Nasi lemak deserves better, it deserves to be prepared the traditional way, that is, with mortar and pestle.
Mortar and Pestle / Batu LesungI gathered all the ingredients for my rempah (spice paste), patiently and gracefully pounded away just like any traditional Malaysian home cooks do. This very exercise brought back a flood of memories. As a child, I loved observing my grandmother, my mother, and my aunt when they prepared their rempah with batu giling (a flat surfaced granite grinding stone); I would always volunteer to help them with the chore as it was pure fun playing real life masak-masak. As I reminisced back those childhood days in my family’s kitchen, I came to realize that it was probably the beginning of my life-long passion for cooking.
Nasi LemakSo, here I present you nasi lemak, a truly Rasa Malaysia dish.
Recipe: Nasi Lemak
Ingredients:
Coconut Milk Steamed Rice
2 cups of rice
3 screwpine leaves (tie them into a knot as shown above)
Salt to taste
1 small can of coconut milk (5.6 oz size)
Some water
Tamarind Juice
1 cup of water
Tamarind pulp (size of a small ping pong ball)
Sambal Ikan Bilis (Dried anchovies sambal)
1/2 red onion
1 cup ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
1 clove garlic
4 shallots
10 dried chillies
1 teaspoon of belacan (prawn paste)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
Other ingredients
2 hard boiled eggs (cut into half)
3 small fish (sardines or smelt fish)
1 small cucumber (cut into slices and then quartered)
Method:
  1. Just like making steamed rice, rinse your rice and drain. Add the coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and some water. Add the pandan leaves into the rice and cook your rice.
  2. Rinse the dried anchovies and drain the water. Fry the anchovies until they turn light brown and put aside.
  3. Pound the prawn paste together with shallots, garlic, and deseeded dried chilies with a mortar and pestle. You can also grind them with a food processor.
  4. Slice the red onion into rings.
  5. Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind constantly to extract the flavor into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.
  6. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the spice paste until fragrant.
  7. Add in the onion rings.
  8. Add in the ikan bilis and stir well.
  9. Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar.
  10. Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens. Set aside.
  11. Clean the small fish, cut them into half and season with salt. Deep fry.
  12. Cut the cucumber into slices and then quartered into four small pieces.
  13. Dish up the steamed coconut milk rice and pour some sambal ikan bilis on top of the rice.
  14. Serve with fried fish, cucumber slices, and hard-boiled eggs
