Ramadhan Menu

Ever since the boys start sahur-ing 3-4 years back, their must have sahur menu has been

Nasi Planta + Telur Matahari Planta + Kecap Manis ABC or Kecap Manis Bangau
and



Kering tempe + kentang + bilis


This year, I managed to add variety to the favorite sahur menu list. Nasi Kuning Berlobak Merah (carrot - kalau cakap Inggeris, wortel kalau ngomong bahasa Indonesia) which I pick up from this book.



Halimah Shuib's Masakan Tradisi Johor

Base recipe is according to the book but I modify according to house availability of the raw material :

1kg beras (basmathi better or not-basmathi pun ok)
1/2 kg lobak merah (potong dadu)
100 gram kunyit hidup (tumbuk & ambil air)
1/2 kg santan (can be replaced with low fat milk, i think, for those with health reason)
3 helai daun pandan
1.5 batang serai diketuk
3 sk serbuk ketumbar
2 sk jintan manis
2 sk jintan putih
garam
daun limau purut (ni tak de dlm buku, sendiri tambah sebab kat pasu belakang tu ada pokok limau purut)

* sk = sudu kecil


1. Rendam beras yang sudah dibasuh di dalam air kunyit selama 15 minit, kemudian tus.
2. Masukkan beras dalam periuk, santan dan air ikut sukatan beras, lobak merah, daun pandan, serai dan segala serbuk di atas, jangan lupa garam.
3. Masak nasi seperti biasa.
4. Semasa menghidang boleh tambah bawang goreng.





Halimah's version of Nasi Kuning




My version : not following the exact recipe. I add daun limau purut. Nampak tak kat atas nasi tu ?
