Thank God for the sunny weather this morning. Things went off to a good start and we got to the place where they held the solat sunat raya right on time. It’s the only time when I get to see the tram crammed with Msians. And the only time that I get to see locals confused seeing us walked out of the tram all at once. We are quite a number.

We’re feeling a little bit under the weather. MSO is down with mild fever and I’m hoping it’ll go away soon because it has been a while. But managed to get a little bit festive with the raya fever.

Our Raya Menu : Nasi Daging (with kuah rendang)

I’m not good with measurements (semuanya cukup-cukup rasa je), but here’s the recipe :

Bahan

• 3 cawan beras basmathi
• 250g daging
• 1 sudu besar rempah kurma
• 1 bungkus sup bunjut
• 2.5cm halia
• 1 batang kulit kayu manis
• 2 biji buah pelaga
• Minyak sapi
• 1/2 cawan sup tomato (kami guna heinz tomato soup)
• 1 cawan susu cair
• Garam cukup rasa

Cara

• Rebus daging (3 cawan air. masukkan sekali serbuk kurma & sup bunjut)
• Bila daging dah empuk, keluarkan daging (letak tepi). Simpan air rebusan daging (akan digunakan untuk masak nasi kemudian)
• Panaskan periuk baru. Tumis halia, kulit kayu manis dan buah pelaga dengan sedikit minyak sapi sampai naik bau.
• Masukkan beras yang dah dibersihkan (masukkan 1 ikat daun pandan dan sedikit garam kalau nak wangi)
• Masukkan pula 3 cawan air rebusan daging tadi. Gaul.
• Masukkan daging yang direbus tadi. Biarkan sekejap.
• Bila dah rasa nasi agak kembang, masukkan sup tomato dan susu cair.
• Gaul sekejap, tunggu sampai masak.
• Makan.

And it was good. Selamat hari raya aidiladha! Berapa ekor tumbang harini?
