Sunday, January 12, 2014 - [Daddy's Cooking Lesson #1]
OHMYGEE, the timer is finally in it's thirties! YAYAYA ! :3
Lesson 1: Lamb Chops. (but .. in gravy) ( did you know the colour orange makes you hungry ? If you're gonna open a restaurant, paint the walls orange or have some orange lights for example .. The Food Junction foodcourt at Bishan )
Step 1: The rice was magically cooked when I get to the kitchen with fried onions and coloring already in it. Damn.
Step 3: Drain away the water and rinse your pressure cooker and fry Red Onions until they're brown and add 1tablespoon of minced ginger and garlic each.
Step 4: Add these Indian spices, no idea what they're called, just bring this picture to an Indian Spice store I suppose. ( DO NOT EAT THIS, IT TASTES HORRIBLE BUT GIVES MAGNIFICENT FLAVOUR. I REPEAT. DO NOT EAT THIS. I've accidentally eaten them far too many times. .______. *hurls* )
*Caution: Make sure this is added after frying the Red Onions 'til they're brown because apparently these spices get burnt if added too early.
Step 5: Add blended red onions to thicken the gravy. He added about 3 large Tablespoons of this [ Godammit why are all my pictures blur ]
Step 6: Add in the meat, add in the Meat Paste ( ?? it was just in a jar so I have no idea what this actually is ) and add a pinch of chilli powder and stir to mix well.
Step 2: Stir the onions in oil for a couple minutes and add in the meat
Step 3: Make sure the chicken pieces are white on both sides before adding in the Manchurian Spice Packet
Step 4: Add capsicum and wataaaaaaa, season with salt and it's done. It's very simple but it's really tasty actually. Apparently the paste is only available at Mustafa Shopping Centre, sooooo... I'll just ask Dad to get it :3
Lesson 1: Lamb Chops. (but .. in gravy) ( did you know the colour orange makes you hungry ? If you're gonna open a restaurant, paint the walls orange or have some orange lights for example .. The Food Junction foodcourt at Bishan )
Step 1: The rice was magically cooked when I get to the kitchen with fried onions and coloring already in it. Damn.
Step 2: Boil the meat in the Pressure Cooker for a few minutes and leave about 20minutes for the air to escape, otherwise prepare for face explosion.
Step 3: Drain away the water and rinse your pressure cooker and fry Red Onions until they're brown and add 1tablespoon of minced ginger and garlic each.
Step 4: Add these Indian spices, no idea what they're called, just bring this picture to an Indian Spice store I suppose. ( DO NOT EAT THIS, IT TASTES HORRIBLE BUT GIVES MAGNIFICENT FLAVOUR. I REPEAT. DO NOT EAT THIS. I've accidentally eaten them far too many times. .______. *hurls* )

Step 5: Add blended red onions to thicken the gravy. He added about 3 large Tablespoons of this [ Godammit why are all my pictures blur ]
It may not look like it but that's the 3 tablespoons of blended onions, the 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and and minced garlic is buried beneath the onions. ( Note: For all Indian cooking, only use Red Onions )
Step 6: Add in the meat, add in the Meat Paste ( ?? it was just in a jar so I have no idea what this actually is ) and add a pinch of chilli powder and stir to mix well.
Step 7: Add about 2cups of water or however much you like really and cover the pressure cooker and let it whistle for about 3minutes. Leave for 30minutes to cooldown before serving!
I suppose I have to hunt for stuff in the Indian Spice shop and acquire a Pressure Cooker and some courage before I can cook this away from home .. D:
Most unfortunate that Indian food does not look all that appealing but I was very pleasantly surprised by the strong taste of this lamb chop curry, I definitely wanna make it again !
Lesson 2: Machurian Stir-Fry Chicken ( This is far too easy to be a lesson )
Step 1: Once again, the rice was magically cooked before I got to the kitchen. But just use a rice cooker or boil rice if you have the time to stir and ensure it doesn't burn.
Step 2: Stir the onions in oil for a couple minutes and add in the meat
Step 3: Make sure the chicken pieces are white on both sides before adding in the Manchurian Spice Packet
it's like a powdery thing, not a paste, so you have add water later
Step 4: Add capsicum and wataaaaaaa, season with salt and it's done. It's very simple but it's really tasty actually. Apparently the paste is only available at Mustafa Shopping Centre, sooooo... I'll just ask Dad to get it :3
Stay tuned for more lessons. Going to learn to make Sambal Chicken from Rena my helper and my dad's proudest Chicken Curry dish. ( which is very very different from the one I make Zac :o it tastes NOTHING like the one I cook, it tastes more like the Indian takeaway stuff )
