ROTI JALA BERINTI DAGING

I have never made these myself before this..all because I normally have my  late mum to make them for me. I really miss her so much..Al- Fatihah..

What I remember of this kuih is ..very nice to eat and a bit of extra effort to make them..and another most prominent  memory of this kuih is, it i part of the "bertandang" menu at weddings - our family side. 

Coincidentally, I saw Che Ct post on FB about Roti Jala berinti kentang and telor...uwaaa so cannot "tahan" hehehe 

 Usually done by my grand aunties, very patient dearies, who will seat "bersempuh" by the fire and do the "roti jala" and fill it with the fillings. Finally shallow fry it till crispy and nice. Mine is rather big and full bodied..just like the maker hihihi.. U can try and make them. U can use your own recipe for the roti jala and the filling but I just add below what I did this afternoon..

Roti Jala:

500 gm of AP Flour

100 gm Coconut milk ( add more if u like)

2 eggs

Salt to taste

500 ml Water ( add more if the consistency is too thick, I think I added about 750 ml, just add bit by bit after adding the first 500 ml ) 

Yellow coloring (if u like)

Method:

Just mix all in a bowl to the consistency that it can go through the funnel . I pass the batter through the sift so that it will be smooth and easy to pass the funnel when making the roti jala. 

I had my funnel made from aluminium. A present from my late mum. A single hole funnel. Then u just make the roti jala till finish. I got about 1.3 kg of roti jala from the above recipe.

Filling:

300 gm of mince meat - beef /chicken /mutton

2-3 potatoes, diced

1 onion, diced

2 tbsp of curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

curry leaves

cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and clove

2 tbsp cooking oil

Hard boiled egg (optional)

Heat the oil in the frying pan. Add the spice, curry leaves and onions.

Add the mince meat and stir till it turns brown. Add the curry powder,diced potato and a little water.

Season with salt and pepper.Simmer for 10-15 minutes till potato is cooked. 

Cool before use.

Assemble::

Take a piece of the roti jala and put a spoonful of filling onto it and also add the hard boiled egg if u want to. Fold one side cover the filling and take in the right and left and roll it. Once all are rolled, heat a shallow pan with a little oil and fry the filled roti jala. Turn it once it has browned on one side and fry till all sides are browned and crispy.

Bona petite..!!

Divide Adunan A and B into 4 balls each. Leperkan dough A and put dough B inside and form a ball, repeat for all.

Take one ball and roll flat round. cut from centre to side of the round dough. Take one side and roll it one round.

Flatten the roll lengthwise and once again roll up tightly..n lastly flatten again the rolled dough..once done, roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 pieces.

Then take one piece and roll out the dough and fill with filling and close. So dh ler jadi Karipap. I hope u all can visualise the steps..hehehe

17th day Ramadhan

Hubby was looking forward to eat some fries..so kemarok fries..kena lah buat something that compliments his craving for fries..


So this is it..

My beef patties..I took the recipe from my favorite cookbook, by Rachel Allen..sedaps. :)

The fries and bread are store bought though.

Some cut tomatoes, cucumbers and onions to compliment the burger.
Owwhhh I have to make the mushroom soup to go with it..hehehe
Still for those who wants to take a light meal, have a bowl of salad and salad cream to go with it.
For dessert, we had another batch of cempedak gorings and serawa pumpkin. Klu x kenyang x tau lah lagiii..but again my maid cooked some rice for Amir, the whatever happen must have rice person..

16th day of Ramadhan

The 16th day of Ramadhan..Monday blues...
table fully set ready for berbuka..

View of what's on the table..this is so that I can remember when I update the blog..clever ain't it??

Another view of the table..Now to zero in on the individual dishes..masak lemak cili api siakap..very pedas indeed.

Ni I la teringin..lupa orang Kedah panggil apa..kalio buncis and hati ayam..ni klu dulu2 kenduri kawin ada la..again teringat zaman dolu2..

Another of my favorite dish, black pepper beef..this time less all the trimmings..dah masak atu halfway malaih lah pulaks..so togel jer lah..but puas ati dapat makan nya :)

This is Jerok Maman in it's natural form..fermented and ready to eat..memang klu yg cukup rasa sedap x terhingga but I find that this bottled jerok is not masin..x rasa apa2 :( sangat..quite disappointing jugak. I find yang jual kat Pasar Besar Taman Tun tu jugak yang best.

Anyway, this is how u are supposed to eat it, with cut chili padis and sliced onions..sedaps..klu yang betui fermented tu..


Ni lak my sardine rolls ..sedap la pepanas makan dia kan..Yang ni goreng cempedaks..punya la sweet and nice..but hubby kata ni cam buah hybrid, kacok nangka and cempedaks..apa pun sedap lah..

Hari ke 9 Ramadhan

Dah ketinggalan lama dah ni..today we are already kat hari ke 18th I baru nak update the 9th day nyer menu...hehehe better late than never.

I duk fikir2 apa lah nak masak ..dh mula dah tabiat malas dah nk mai hinggap dah...atu I thought maybe today we go Chinese lah pulaks..my version of Chinese jer lahh..hubby I ada tanya..shark's fin soup ada ka??? Laaaa...
Anyway, I buat cereal butter prawn...oiiihhh bru ter-nampak banyak nya minayk melimpah ruah....akibat goreng dan d goreng..lah ni... ;( I pakai paket Cereal Prawns and just follow the recipe on the back. Sedap but I guess must go easy on the minyak. xde lak gambaq Cereal Prawns tu nyer rupe..klu p Tesco..u cari lah dekat2 tepung2 nyer section ada lah paket.ni.

My Kung Pao Chicken pon nampak cam a pile of black entah apa...ni bukan apa..my roasted cashew was overdone..gara2 jaga Zara in betwwen cooking, and my fried dried chilli pon ter-gelap jugak..I guess not my day today..lucky thing rasa quite ok lah.

This is my beef and ginger with spring onion..quite satisfactory.
Ini pulak is my steam tofu ..I always love it very much..and it is so easy to steam them.

Ini pulak is my lettuce stir fry with oyster sauce..short stir and fry ..n ready to eat. Sprinkle with fried sliced shallots.This is my buka puasa drink..dragon fruit and pineapple punch.
