My mom's Salad

It may not look that yummy but if u like spicy, this is a top salad especially to go with curry dishes. What I have in the salad is actually chop salad, thinly slice cucumber, thinly slice tomato, hard boiled egg. 

Gravy: pounded peanut into small chunky.

Chilli sauce, tomato sauce and touch of lime juice. Mixed well and spread it all over the salad.

I sprinkle a little bit of chop corainder. 

Ravioli

Ravioli is actually simple to do. Somehow I dont have the pasta machine so it takes time to do each ravioli. Did this pasta ravioli for dinner and my son just love it.

The filling are mince meat and chopped cheddar cheese. 

Boiled water and salt. Add in ravioli and once they float up the surface, they done.

I did a Italian cook tomato sauce to serve with and sprinkle some cheese before serving.

My saturday

I spent the last couple of day bringing my son to the pool as he has been free from school for almost 2 weeks now so I did spent few hrs by the pool with him almost everyday. We are lucky that we lived in an apartment with full facilities. I make full use of the facilities as much as I could.

He swim a couple of laps the first day and 12 laps the next day and many more laps the 3rd day. 

After swimming we sit in the jacuzzi for 20 mins and we just chat. Normally after swimming, he will go home while I changed and go to the gym.

Today I asked him if he would be interested to swim again but he was a bit lazy. So after i clean the house, I decided to start with the gym. Pumping up the dance volume on my spotify and I spent 2 wonderful hrs in the gym today. Perfectly it is Saturday and empty as probably people are taking a break from working out over the weekend.

I did ran about an hr, cycling, rowing, plus does different kinds of weight lifting etc. After 2 hrs, i decided to just sit down and rest in the jacuzzi for half an hr.

Then I completed my wonderful exercise day by going to the sauna and steam room for another 20 mins. It feels great. 

One of the longest day I spent at the club house. 

Epok Epok

 I prepared the dough and let it stand for 3 hrs as I went for a swim and when we came back we normally will be hungry and I did the filling and fry in just maximum 20 mins.

Epok Epok is what Singaporean called this dish and my spanish friends called it empanadas. I am not sure about the filling in empanadas but epok epok have many different filling when you bought them in stalls in singapore.

There is a blog which you can see how she did it.

My mom Fish Curry with lady finger

My favourite fish curry is the one which comes with the whole fish including the head but most people do not like the whole fish as there are so many bone so you can get white fish fillet in any supermarket. Get a slightly thick fish fillet not too thin as they will break apart when you cook them. As shown in the picture would be good. 

• 4-5 pcs of White fish fillet
• 4 tbsp fish curry powder
• 2-3 tsp chili powder (optional if you like it hot you add otherwise u can skip this)
• 1 Onion - sliced
• 3 Garlic- chopped

• 1 tomato cut into 4
• Curry leaves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 star anise
• 1 cup tamarind juice
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 chili halves (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for cooking

Method

1. Pour 5 tbs of cooking oil in a pot and heat up.
2. Put in 10pcs curry leaves, mustard seed, cinnamon stick, star anise, fry till fragrant. 
3. Add onions and garlic, fry around 1 to 2 mins.
4. Add in fish curry powder and stir evenly continuously stirred for approx 10 minutes (the paste should not stick on the pot).
5. When the oil rises up, add in the lady fingers and fish.
6. Add in tamarind juice, coconut milk and stir slowly so u do not break the fish.
7. Cover the pot, let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

9. Serve hot with steamed rice or Roti pratha.

Singaporean local favourite Roti Paratha

Roti Paratha is one of my family favourite dish even for my Swedish husband. I normally do the paratha myself as buying the frozen ready made paratha is not so filling and they are normally very small and thin. Furthermore it is not that easy to find in nearby supermarket except it is sold in the Asian supermarket. Compared to living in Sweden, Stockholm before, there are several Asian store in the center of the city and some in Södermalm. Now that we have moved to London, there are plenty of Asian store in every area. Still at time I prefer doing my own paratha as my son loves the egg paratha while my husband loves the cheese paratha. 

Here are paratha ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of plain flour 

(in England choose the hard type of plain flour as I did once with normal plain flour and it is just too soft to stretch it)

1/2 cup ghee or butter is fine if you prefer.

 estimated 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk

Salt to taste

Method

Put the flour and salt in a big bowl

Then you can add in add 1/4 cups of ghee or butter into a hole made in the dough.

Mix well and gradually add enough milk to bind the dough.

Next knead the dough on a greased counter top for 5-8 minutes.

Place it back in the bowl and let it rest for at least 2 hours. This helps the dough to stretch well.

Below is a youtube video link of how she strech the paratha. This is a professional way but if you cannot do that kind of stretching you can also use a roller and stretch it slowly by your hands.

It is also shown with the egg paratha and you can either do it plain if you prefer
