PINEAPPLE PUFFS

Homemade Pineapple Puffs, sweet and crispy puffs. I've made it into mini puffs, store it in the freezer and reheat in the oven for anytime snacks. Making these puffs not as tedious as making the puff pastry dough, quite easy to roll the puff pastry, shaping it and add any choice of sweet or savoury fillings. Place pastry on baking sheet to prevent sticking while baking and easy cleaning. Any leftover pastry pieces , lay on top of each other, roll and shape the puffs.

Pineapple Puffs


Puff Pastry recipe

Dry ingredients:
500g plain flour
1 - 4 tbsp margarine / butter

Wet Ingredients:
2 cups ice cold water
Salt to taste

250g Pastry Margarine

Pineapple Jam
6 pineapples
Sugar to taste
6  cloves
2 - 3 tbsp golden syrup

PUFF PASTRY

Puff pastry consists layers of margarine / butter and dough. Homemade mini puffs, crispy, light brown and flaky with sweet or savoury fillings. Making puff pastry from scratch, it's time consuming, needs patience and overall I'm satisfied with the end result. Practice makes perfect and making it gets easier as it goes. Probably if there's time,  I'll try making another kind of puff pastry with butter and we'll see the difference.

This puff pastry made with half block of pastry margarine,  preferably use the whole 500g of pastry margarine for more buttery layers. Do add more magazine or butter and some vinegar or lemon juice to the basic dough. Knead the basic dough with the K-beater or the dough hook, set aside the dough in a plastic bag to rest for 10 mins.

Two ways of making the margarine or butter block by pounding until pliable. Chilling the pastry after the 3rd turns for 30 mins as margarine / butter will melt. I've used pastry margarine instead of butter, folds 10 single turns and chilled the pastry dough after the 3rd turns. Freeze the Puff Pastry for up to three months. Use it for any recipes with sweet or savoury fillings.

I've made mini puffs from this puff pastry dough with both sweet or savoury fillings. That's it sharing my activity,  thanks for watching and have a good day ahead😊

ANCHOVY FRITTERS

Anchovy fritters are tasty snacks, served with homemade chillie sauce. Loving every crunch of these tiny anchovies and green chillies in these fritters. Too easy making these, absolutely great for breakfast or anytime snacks.

Homemade snack you will simply love ... 'no matter'  and  wherever you are. I’ve made something like these when I went mountain climbing in Malaysia long time ago. I must say this is one of my favourite snacks and it's hard to say 'no' ...I believe you too may like it!

Check out for new uploads coming to my channel. That’s all I've have on this post. Thank you for visiting and a good day to all.

ROTI PRATA AND CHICKEN CURRY

Handmade freshly fried flat bread, also known as Roti Prata in Singapore or in Malaysia 'Roti Canai'. Tasty home made Roti Prata taste almost like the original... 'I guess'. No secret recipe, my trial and tested recipe, I must say the taste is right! Success in the making, don't come naturally, do need lots of practice and some skills. At times,  good to watch the Prata man at work showing their skills and amazing energy. Soft, crusty Roti Prata with egg freshly fried are much more tastier than plain Roti Prata.

For many of us here, always busy at work, no worries Roti Prata outlets are almost everywhere. In my opinion, homemade too.... taste at it's best especially with home-cooked curry chicken or fish curry.

In this recipe, which is simple & easy chicken curry, mixed everything to cook with the chicken and do add potatoes. Different style of cooking and the choice of using coconut milk or evaporated milk for this dish. Created a Prata video before, here another style of making and a  few shared ideas with everyone. Follow my taste buds, sambal dish are amazing with these Roti s'.

TAFN (That's all for now), my sharing activities and what we sometimes had at home. Thank you for visiting, time for a break! Have an easy week ahead, don't overwork and stay healthy always! Till we meet again on my next post insya'allah, take care and thank you all.

YOUTIAO {CHINESE CRULLER} AND ROJAK - CHINESE STYLE

Youtiao (Chinese Cruller) or Fried breadsticks, homemade also known as Char Kway, no clue on the original recipe. In other words, this recipe is satisfactory and taste almost as good.

Relatively different from the original recipe anyway I do learn few basics while making the dough from scratch. Keep looking and observe whenever we meet the street hawkers, sure we will learn quite a bit.

In the old days, freshly fried fritters made on the spot along the streets and non-halal. Nowadays, we can easily get freshly fried or frozen find these fritters at food outlets in the malls.

Youtiao contains a fast leavening agent making it rise and swell beautifully. Most had Alum and Ammonia or Nutre powder in the recipe. This version I've made with Self-raising flour, double acting baking powder, egg, oil and so on find out more in this video. The brand Bake King Double Action Baking Powder another type with the leavening ingredient.

Basically, the fritters made in small cuts, fried in a regular pan and do not need much oil. The end result somehow quite a success, keep learning and more practice for best results. No need to twist and twirl the dough, pull and stretch that's the trick. I will make this again as everyone at home do enjoyed it.

Useful tips to share I must say this is may not be as easy as it looks. For best result, use self- raising flour (Redman brand) as not all brands will work well. If you can't find it, try to get the best quality type of self raising flour. Do note not add to much flour to the dough while kneading as it will be hard after frying. While making this dough, I've started at 2pm a day before and do the making process after 7pm, so that's quite a long time gap. However I really hope, my bit of experience making these breadsticks will give some ideas what's it's like. Don't give up and keep trying!

Chinese rojak, a mix of vegetable, fritters serve with delicious spicy nutty gravy. Rojak Petis, a malay style of rojak consists of mix fruits and vegetables with spicy peanut sauce.

Rojaks suitable to be shared as potluck especially for gatherings and it's really easy. Prepare all ingredients and serve the sauce separately.

That's all on this post, thank you and happy days ahead.😊

INDIAN ROJAK

Singaporean favourites, Indian Rojak, many of us simply love and growing up with these hawker food such as Mee goreng , mutton soup and more.

Indian rojak is also a famous local Malaysian Street food also known as Pasembur especially in  Penang and many parts of Malaysia. In Singapore, the fritters are quite different, the colour of the gravy are always red as most of the hawkers add food colouring in their cooking. One of the best Indian rojak which I've ever had, was at Rasa Singapura Food Centre at Orchard Tanglin.

While making these, I've learned creating various types of flavours for fritters and other ingredients that I used. Most important is making a good rojak gravy or sauce, there's some difference, I've skipped the use of chillie powder or chillie flakes, colouring and it's made from the basic fresh ingredients. 

Make these with friends or family members, it's fun bonding, save your time and energy. Pick any favourite  ingredients squids, fish cake, beancurd with prawns, various fritters and a long list. I've created step by step in this videos, create and improve as you go along, I think it will be a success to you too.

Things to note, the basic dough mixture I've made in two batches resulted with two big bowls of fried fritters and that's a lot. The servings were enough for over 25 persons and still had some leftovers.

Prawn Fritters and Coconut Fritters are perfect for breakfast or an evening snacks. Prawn fritters when serve with a homemade chillie sauce taste absolutely delicious. If the fritters not round in shape it's fine, more practice needed that's include myself too.

Lot of flavours and kinds of fritters which we can create with the dough mixtures, if we look and observe .... what's in ....the 'rojak stalls' ....  we can get lots of ideas.

The Indian rojak sauce created based on my tastebuds, many variations and I'm happy with it!

Overall, I hope these videos may give better ideas making it less than the original recipes. Good planing will make everything goes easy, all the best and happy cooking!!

That's all for now, have great holiday this Hari Raya Haji here in Singapore with your loved ones and a happy weekend to everyone . My wish to all muslims have a happy and blessed Eid-ul Adha. May peace and joy embrace us forever and stay blessed always ... Ameen. Wishing all an easy and happy days ahead and thank you for coming by.
