Green Chicken Curry...My Version :)

Image
This curry has been in my Must Do List for a long time, and I just had the chance to try it. Mine is not so green like the famous Thai Green Chicken Curry. Maybe due to the chillies I used here. But I was satisfied with the taste and got myself indulged in this creamy curry, although I felt it could have been little more spicier. So, wait no more...let's get to the recipe! GREEN CHICKEN CURRY Ingredients :~ 700gm boneless chicken ( breast or thigh parts ) ~ cut into smaller pieces 1 large onion ~ thinly sliced 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 1 1/2 cups coconut milk salt to taste 5 pcs kaffir lime leaves ~ thinly sliced cooking oil 2 tbsp coconut paste ( kerisik ) (For paste ~ blend together) 5-6 fresh green chillies ~ sliced 1 inch ginger 1/2 inch galangal 3-4 stalks lemongrass 6 cloves garlic 2 tbsp fish sauce 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1 handful coriander leaves 1/2 inch shrimp paste bird's eye chillies (cili paid) optional  Method :~

Snow Cheesecake....

This is one cake which has gone viral among Malaysian Food Bloggers of late. Me, not wishing to miss the train, gave it a try and the cake was liked by all. The cake itself is not too cheesy, but the filling and topping, yes. Thus, for those who don't really fancy cheesecakes can try this! You can also use your own cheesecake recipe for the cake part. Just slice the cake into half, fill and top with cream cheese and grate cheddar cheese over. Done! Before we go to the recipe, let me thank the recipe owner Sherry_Mz of Myresipi.com for sharing this wonderful and yummilicious recipe with us. She should be really proud and happy to see the number of food bloggers and readers tried her recipe. Also thanking fellow Malaysian bloggers for sending the vibes to others...and that includes me! LOL ;) Now, to the recipe. I have translated the original recipe which was in Malay.

Welcome back readers and friends! Let me take to the guest post series right away. Today, I'm honoured to feature a very sweet blogger in my Guest Post series. She is none other than Ms ARTHY from Sumanarthy's Kitchen . Firstly, I have to thank Arthy for accepting my invitation. Secondly, for her patience in waiting for the post to get published. Yes, she understood my situation very well and agreed to wait, infact she gave me moral support during my absence. Thank you dear sis!
