I've had many more failures on macaron,that whole batch came in a waste. Sometimes shells are cracked,have no feet or skirt, not smooth or overlooked. My experience on making successful macaron is all about a little care,attention and learning too. After some research on making successful macaron,I've learnt some of basic information on macaron methods. There are three different basic methods of making macarons... • the French method, is most commonly used for authentic French macaron. French meringue is created by whipping together egg whites and granulated sugar, then adding almond mixture soon after getting stiff consistency. • the italian method, is relies on correct temperature (reached 118) of hot syrup by whipping into egg whites until stiff forms.  • the swiss method , is whipping egg whites on double boiler...this must be very careful so not to get the egg white to cook.  Since googling for past 2-3 months, and many unsuccessful attempts of making macarons,I came ac...

Medhu Vadai always my choice for evening family snacks. My kids more likely to enjoy eating medhu vadai than paruppu vadai.   Its fluffiness and crispiness made them love to eat with a cup of tea or coffee. Medhu Vadai would be my first choice too for any family or festival occasions. Sometimes I love to prepare my methu Vadai with coconut chutney. It's really awesome taste. I have to admit that I've just learned to fry medhu Vadai by myself. Sometimes I have been so disappointed by using beetle leave or plastics, it turned shapeless. It's not too complicated with bare hand,first the foremost,our hand must be watery while taking the batter by using four fingers and making hole by thumb. When dropping the batter towards hot oil ,it was easily dropped into oil when we push slightly with our thumb. It was already shaped in properly. This would be my preferred method for making crispy and fluffy medhu Vadai for my family. You should try this.. Ingredients   Whole urad dhall...

Well,first I would like to give a small brief on Water spinach. It's commonly known as ' kangkung ' (Malay language) in Malaysia. This vegetable growns naturally in waterways such as in paddy fields.  It's very much popular in South East Asia cooking. More likely to say that it's famous in some of specific dishes such as ' kangkung belacan goreng' (stir-fry) and ' Nasi goreng kampung'( fried rice) Today I made this stir fried kangkung belacan for my family dinner. My kids love to eat just with plain rice. Let me explain about the ' belacan ' that I mentioned earlier. Belacan is a fermented ground shrimp that has high pungency flavour.  It's very popular flavour that must includes into all Malaysian cuisines. There are certain people omit it due to its strong smell.  Kangkung belacan stir fry only needs few items such as hot chilies,garlics and onion.  Ingredients   Water spinach - 1 bundle (10 stalks) washed,halved(split the stem half, ...

I love crab legs. My kids craving crab legs too. They love getting dirty,mess and digging out every last morsel of crab meat with their bare hands. I always love to cook crab varuval.

This is a spicy with awesome flavoured best curry that I have ever made. I have mentioned in my early post that I love chettinad cuisine and been a big fan on their recipes. Chettinad Fish Curry can be prepared in many ways. It looks simple but is really hard to get right perfect taste. This fish curry has tamarind tangy sweetness flavours that gives a good taste with the spicy. Ofcourse tomatoes not going to be a subtitute to it. This curry does not required a generous amount of coconut milk but I have added a very small amount of grated coconut into it. Therefore,it doesn't taste creamy or tropical since a very little presence of grated coconut. Adding coconut milk is certainly matter of personal tastebuds .  This time, I really want to get this fish curry with bright red instead of yellowish. Smell was awesome when the curry being cooked with entirely in tangy tamarind water and chilies.... Here goes my recipe... Chettinad Fried Fish Spicy curry Ingredients Deep Fry Fish King fi...

Be frankly saying that I'am so confident on making this dish for my family dinner.tonite. OMG...the curry was so flavourful and tasty with plain white rice. Soon after I added my grinded masala on sautéed onion mix,it's gives the curry more flavourful and the cravy was so thick even I didn't add any additional coconut milk. My chettinad fish curry was perfect when oil was separated from cravy to edges. Let's share my recipe to you'll. At last, I didn't manage to take a good shot after I cooked my chettinad fish curry.

Its been over a month since my last post. November ..it was a really wonderful and crazy busy month too. Yes... I've been busy with cleaning house,baking cookies and making our famous traditional Indian savouries for Deepavali. After marriage, in these 8 years, this is the first time I've baked some cookies and savouries with my kids. It's was a great experience for me. Baking with my three little girls in my kitchen, makes those moments much more fun. Remembering when my girls snuck in bites of cookie dough while I'm busy with my oven,they loved raw dough. This year of 2014 Festival of Lights, I made some delicious cookies where my husband and kids loved it. They enjoyed eating!!! Actually, I challenged myself to bake a different recipe of cookies everyday before ahead to Diwali. I made danish butter cookies,chocolate chip cookies,pineapple tarts,almond london cookies,peanut cookies,kuih bangkit,honeycomb cookies and muruku. I've brought some of my own baked cookie...

Hi there ! Deepavali is just around the corner. My cleaning process is begins . I have just started to clean my pantry on last week. My pantry cupboard only stocked with cans,flours,sugars,noodles,sweets and biscuits. First, I'd rid off some old stuffs and papers, literally clean out the whole cupboard. I have kept my long time stocks  into a small plastic baskets and containers.  When it's about pantry organization, 'DIY chalkboard labels' are my choice that always strikes my mind. The best part about chalkboard is that I can easily erase and relable it anytime. Unfortunately, I'd hardly to get chalkboard label here at my place. Although it's easy to get through online shop but it's unaffordable. One day, I'd stumbled across a black sugar paper while shopping at a supermarket. It's bring me back my secondary school days doing my assignments with these sugar papers using chalks to write. I've brought some to home for pantry use. If I'd rather...
