Sunday Morning - From Garden to Kitchen

Honestly, no much activity during weekend, we normally don't go for outing every weekend unless ada keperluan. Since Abuaidan  Abuaidan spent his saturday for student extra class  yesterday, so today he's spending more time  in the garden. Nampaknya dia tengah sibuk cutting the hedges, tidying up the garden with Aidan accompanying him around. And today he added more holes for 'hawaiaan pawpaw', btw the hawaiaan pawpaw that he bought from market and we had in the morning was very good..that's why we have to have it in our garden...

More big plants planted

My part of garden works finished quite early today, no need for watering sebab sehari dua hujan - tanah still wet, can't do weeding also and most of the planting done yesterday masa hujan renyai-renyai, senang tumbuh sikit. So this morning, some vegetables dah ready untuk harvest. If keep for some more time mungkin terlebih matang dan jadi keras pulak. Better harvest and keep properly in the fridge. 

Kacang merah (Bora), bendi, cili merah, cili hijau besar, kacang panjang dan jagung muda  

Hari ini also feel like making some dalca, dah lama tak buat. Since we have enough veges for that, why not use them to make some chicken curry mix with vegetables and kacang dhal, yang kita panggil dalca. 

 Terung, long beans, tomato, potato, carrots.. what else missing? tak boleh recall...

Mudah jer nak membuatnya dengan bahan2 yang dah disiapkan sambil menulis entry sambil masak, yg lama nak masak dhal & ayam jer, yang sayur campak2 jer..kejap tu masaklah. Nasi beriyani jer tak buat...

Dah siap dah dalca saya, tuan puan jemput makan for lunch...

Juga paginya telah membuat sedikit indian style cekodok, they call it bhajia ataupun dipanggil juga Pagoda balls, for our morning tea.  Ini diantara indian kuih muih yang agak sedap dimakan,
