Khao mok gai chicken Briyani rice

-
As an Indian, I’ve did many types of Briyani in Indian versions. Few Briyani types are more tricky to get the perfect tasty rice at all time. More over, those are various upon their cooking methods and ingredients too. Since, I like to explore on foods, today I’ve cooked chicken Briyani rice in Thai version, which known as Khao Mok Gai. It is very popular rice dish which you can find at all the time in Bangkok,Thailand.  It is very tasty and aromatic dish ever that I’ve made before this. Those roasted and ground spices made this dish so aromatic and flavoured. The tendency of the chicken pieces were so perfectly done with special ingredients that I used in.Just few ingredients I’ve grinned instead of pounding, but it doesn’t change the taste at all.  Literally this was my first time of cooking for this dish. I am so amazed once it’s turned out well with such a spiced flavory rice and perfect cooked tenderly chicken. So yummy...As a side dish, I’ve made Raita (oni...

On this hot season days,the most favourite dessert eaten by many people is Tau Fu Fah. It's actually a Chinese dessert that mostly sell by Chinese hawkers. In Malaysia, we could also found some Malay people selling the tau fu fah with as same texture of softness and ginger sugar syrup with two variations...brown and white sugar. I like tau fu fah...with ginger sugar syrup. Most of hawkers they were used 'gypsum'  to set the tau fu fah. According to science research..we shouldn't had a lot gypsum in our food because it's bad for health which gives side effect of headache or backache. Therefore, some would like to do homemade tau fu fah with adding GDL which substitute of Gypsum. Recently I came across with this recipe during my research for tau fu fah. On my first and second attempts I found myself failure on it. It's clumsy...then, on my third attempt I tried with actual measurement and also gushing motion to the GDL and cornstarch mixture with 2 feed of height,...

How to make a perfect soft and fluffy idli or dosai

-
Image
The most popular Indian breakfast in India or abroad is idli or dosai. It is a fermented food which is scientifically good for health. At home, idli or dosai the most frequented breakfast I made for my kids to school. One day,I found myself so disappointed and failed when idli came harder at first place. An awful moment..  After some research on idli's ratio standard through out all Indian blogs endlessly,I found a perfect idli recipe,at last.  It's all about the ratio that we need to remember ' 3-1/2'. Basically, I used some rice variation on this recipe,basmatic,parboiled and raw rices. Until now I've never had failure on this rice combination method. On the other hand, I used whole urad dhall and some fenugreek seeds to give fluffiness and soft idli. Not to forget a generous handful of cooked rice for softness indeed. Must 'do' grind separately for better results... Here, my recipe for soft and fluffy idli... Ingredients   1. Raw rice - 1 cup 2. Basmatic ...
