segalanya dengan izin Allah...

Assalamualaikum...

I want to share some pictures of my favourite mint trees.

Couple of months ago i plant some mint trees. Its almost died. I soaked it in water for 3 days before it grew some roots. Then i plant it over small plastic case.

Now it grow stronger and i just replace it in the ground. No more plastic case.

P/s. Everything is in Allah's will.

perfect chocolate moist cake. just perfect.

Assalamualaikum...



Chocolate moist cake. yes. i use to have the perfect CMC. i  got it from my ex roommate back in UiTM. I was on my diploma on that time. after couple of years, i lost the recipe. it was devasted. i couldnt find any CMC that up to the previous recipe standard. feel so sad, im not use to bake CMC as often as before as everytime i bake with different recipe of course, it was not the same.

Until, I met Saeidah. My ex colleague in KTT. She was a good cook. her nasi kerabu is to die dine for. Sampai sekarang saya masih terfikirkan keenakkan nasi kerabu ed. And she also bring back my long lost CMC recipe. Of course, i lost that recipe, last year. again... i was devastated and stop making chocolate cake (but i do some chocolate cuppies.. hehe)







Then, last week i stumble into this page,

The Best chocolate buttercream recipe by joy the baker


makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes or one 8-inch layer cake
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup heavy cream  whipping cream (ini saja yang available dalam fridge :p)
1/3 cup Ovaltine  MILO


Pukul butter dan serbuk koko. Its going to be very thick. add in icing sugar, salt and vanilla, keep whisking. bila gula dah sebati dengan adunan, tinggikan kelajuan mixer. ( i use hand whisk for recipe, so, whisk laju-laju sampai lenguh. hehe)

in other bowl, mix together MILO and whip cream, kacau, dan masukkan sesudu demi sesudu dan whisk, sampai anda dapat kepekatan yang diingini, selalunya stak habis pun adunan milo+whip cream tadi.

Siap.

Now you can frost it as you like. this frosting also great on cupcakes. :)

P/S; knowing this recipe feels like meeting an old friend that i miss so much!. hehehe...

homemade nasi beriani kambing yang super ummph semua orang pun boleh buat. :)

Assalamualaikum...


Beriani oh beriani... :) last weekend ayah i ada beli daging kambing, Terus dalam fikiran hendak masak nasi beriani kambing. Masalahnya, my family bab nasi beriani ni selalu makan kat kedai saja. so, i decided to give ourselves a try and hunting some great recipe online. and i do find this 1 blog that came up with nasi beriani kambing pakistan. waaah... teruja langsung kami guna sahaja resipi ini.
resipi ini sangat authentic and not use any ready made beriani powder, semua from scratch tetapi insyaallah semua rempah dah sedia ada di dapur.

Semasa tengah masak tu, Semua warga rumah berulang alik kedapur, tak tahan bau yang sungguh harum dari nasi beriani ini. 

Jadi untuk menghormati yang empunya resipi, sila pergi ke link ini :

http://aziejaya.blogspot.com/2012/03/nasi-beriani-kambing-pakisan-yang.html

Tapi disini saya hendak sediakan tips untuk buat kerja didapur smooth semasa menyediakan resipi ini.

1. perap kambing anda satu jam awal sekurang kurangnya, sambil menunggu kambing perap.
2. Potong dadu bawang-bawang dan letakkan satu pinggan dengan rempah kering yang diperlukan  
    (senang nanti tinggal masuk saja dalam kuali untuk menumis.
3. Potong dadu tomato dan campurkan dengan yogurt.

Setelah selesai tempoh satu jam, bolehla menumis seperti resipi di blog kak azie kitchen ya.

setelah da masukkan air dalam kambing (rujuk resipi) bolehlah rendam nasi basmati dalam air dalam 20 minit, dan toskan, dan bolehlah dimasak, untuk beras basmathi ini, saya beli beras basmathi kosinor dari faiza. kt paket bertulis, super extra long rice. hahaha.. serius panjang beras ini. untuk masak, saya buat, 1 cawan nasi, bersamaan 2 cawan air.

kambing sedang di  reneh


nasi di bawah kambing diatas, tap saja rice cooker tu, insyaALLAH masaklah dia.


setelah nasi masak, kira-kira daging pun dah agak kering (jangan kering sangat) bolehlah dipindahkan nasi dan kambing secara berlapis di dalam rice cooker.

voila.. senang.

seriously, its so good, and its so easy to make. tak terfikir yang masak nasi beriani could be this easy.

p/s: silalah juadah ini untuk weekend nanti.

Ramadhan Tiba Lagi

Alhamdulillah...

Ramadhan Tiba Lagi. Alhamdulillah, syukur, syukur kehadrat ilahi...


p/s: :)

homemade buttermilk


Assalamualaikum...
Buttermilk, must have item for red velvet cake. And personally i love using buttermilk in baking my cakes, cupcakes and pancakes. It makes everything goes moist and fluffy. :)

But its quite expensive and its also hard to find. Di tempatku cuma ada di cold storage. Sometimes not available.

Jadi, why not using homemade buttermilk. Cheaper and the ingredients are already in your fridge.

Ingredients for Buttermilk :

About a cup of milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice / distilled white vinegar.

Pour almost 1 cup of milk in a cup, add lemon juice and add milk until it reach 1 cup. Let stand for couple of minutes and voila! Siap dan sedia diguna. usually saya akan guna distilled white vinegar tetapi dah habis. kali ini guna lemon juice pula.

P/s. Senang kan? Dah cepat buat red velvet. :)

saturday that feel like sunday


Assalamualaikum...
Serius hari ini macam hari ahad. Kenapa? Mungkin sebab hari ini i ada kelas solekan... Ada kena mengena kah? Hehe...

Anyway, hari ini di kampung ku ada kelas tatarias. Belajar solek menyolek. Ramai yang hadir, dari yang muda hingga yang dewasa. ( i kategori mana ye? Haha)

Usai melihat demo solekan, semua peserta kena pilih pasangan dan cuba menyolek. My partner in crime was my sister in law, aishah. Dia yang mekap kan i. she really good with all these make up thingy, sebab memang die part time make up artist. Hehe..

Kebetulan penganjur hendak beri hadiah kepada pasangan yang mekap paling outstanding, jadi apa lagi, kami menang lah. Hhehe. Dapat barangan Giffarine. Tadi pun mereka guna produk ini dan its not bad. Make up ringan di muka dan paling pentinh its halal and cheaper than any other brand out there. :)

So, thats what i did today and now im exhausted (cheh,kelas half day je kot... You yang di make up kan kot) and i do feel like today is sunday.

P\s. Good night. Oh ye, if anybody looking for makeup artist, hendak ke dinner ke, engage ke, anniversary ke, do not hesitate to peek at her facebook, MakeUp-by-AishahNur.
