"Potatuna Pasta"

Hi, there's more from me..! This following recipe actually cuba2 and main2 antam ganya.. but I thought I'd share it sajalah.. I bet no-one in this foodblog team (crew?) would doubt my passion for noodles & pastas.. Asal ke restaurant makan mi.. and at home I cook pasta.. Ish3x.. Anyway, here it is.. very, very simple..

...kul brapa start makannya ni?... the not-so-chefly-one

Ingredients:

Any kind of durum wheat pasta (I prefer the spiral & elbow types I even mix them together!)
Canned tuna
Dolmio's Tuna Pasta Bake sauce
1 potato
McCormick Italian Herb Potatoes seasoning
Mozarella cheese

How I did it:
Boil the pasta & strain.. Also boil the potato until a bit soft.. Take a baking dish and add in tuna and the baking sauce.. Then add in the boiled pasta and you mix them thoroughly.. Then sprinkle a reasonable amount of mozarella cheese over the well-mixed pasta. The thicker the yummier :). (Oh yeah, before doing that you might wanna pre-heat the oven to 200 deg C).

The potato part I got the idea from master chef BB (hehe..). So for this one.. you peel off the skin and cut them to thin slices.. Then you sprinkle some of the McCormick seasoning onto it and place them gracefully on top of the mozarella cheese covering the pasta. So once all of that is done, put it into the pre-heated oven & wait for 15-20 minutes.. or simply just watch out for the cheese to turn to slightly brown in colour..

And there you go.. all done!

"Roasted Herb Potatoes"

tried this recipe about two weeks ago (i think!) but only today, i can find the time to post :P anyway, this time, kirakan resipi from me membuyuklah...haha. i used the ready-made seasoning. it was cheap, so i said to self that i should buy it and have a go cooking it. tell ya, i rarely use ready-made thingie. even if i use them in my cooking, i tend to add more stuffs. nda ku bulat2 pakai atu saja, without tambah2. hehehe. i think it's just me. i guess i don't really trust the ready-made stuffs. hahaha... ijap ku inda nyaman and lain rasanya. but there's this one sauce that i adore very much. i just love it as it is. will tell about it in the next post.

"Tumpi Malas"

nobody has posted up any recipe yet. i think they are waiting for me to post one first :ppppp hahahaha. so... first recipe i'd like to share here is "tumpi". there are two kinds of "tumpi" actually; "tumpi malas" and "tumpi banar". but today, i'm just gonna share "tumpi malas" as i cook "tumpi malas" more often than "tumpi banar" cause it doesn't take long to prepare. so here goes...

...inda payah rasa, cium bau saja... - "master chef" BB

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
water (reasonable amount)
cooking oil

Method:
mix the first 3 ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk but as for myself, i simply use a tablespoon. in this recipe, it doesn't matter which one you use actually. and note that, the final batter shouldn't be too thick and too thin. the consistency of the batter is similar to that of fritters' batter. after the batter is ready, preheat the frying pan of your desired size with a little bit of oil on a medium heat. then pour the batter into frying pan. cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. the more golden brown the colour, the crispier the "tumpi". i personally like it to be crispy. it's up to you how you would like the texture to be. so good luck!

Served With:
condensed milk, peanut butter, honey, chicken curry, etc
