【豆角茄子】Eggplant Long Bean Stir-Fry



豆角炒茄子是娘家经常做的一道菜,送粥下饭都非常美味,是茄子和豇豆/豆角盛产的时候常做的一道菜。

我喜欢用马来西亚产的豆瓣酱做这道菜,是我思念的家乡味,也没那么咸。

Stir-fried eggplant with long beans is a dish my mom made a lot when I was young, It goes well  porridge and rice. 

A dish I made often now when eggplants and long beans are in the market during summer.

【紫薯燕麦粥】Purple Sweet Potato Oatmeal

燕麦除了拿来做芋头燕麦粥燕麦玛芬燕麦曲奇以外,拿来做这款紫薯燕麦做早餐也非常好吃,加了紫薯的燕麦粥颜值真的太棒了。

In addition to making oatmeal for breakfast, old fashioned oats can also be used to make oatmeal muffins and oatmeal cookies.

Oats are also very delicious when make into Chinese sweet soup/dessert. Adding purple sweet potato gives the dish a very vibrant color, not to mentioned the rich nutrients that comes with it.

儿子很喜欢喝乳酸菌饮料,我很喜欢喝气泡水,这个夏天我们发现了一个娘俩都爱的喝法,就是把乳酸菌饮料和气泡水混合了加冰块喝,真是太棒了!

My son A likes Yakult drink, and I like sparkling water. This summer we found a way to enjoy what we like at once!

We mix Yakult drinks and sparkling water together and add ice cubes to it. It’s really yummy!

【印式香辣油饼】Masala Poori (Fried spiced Flat bread )

 

土豆咖喱/马萨拉是印度街边摊卖油饼的标配。是很多人乘搭长途火车或巴士时休息站必点的点心。也是我家LD和儿子非常喜欢的一道小吃。

搬到美国后我鲜少炸东西,前几天是俊爹生日,就做了这个他喜欢的香辣油饼给他庆生,就连俊宝都吃了好多呢!

Poori was the very first Indian bread that caught my attention and fancy, it was from there that I venture into making different types of Indian Rotis and Parathas.

The potato curry that I made today is the standard serving with Puri in roadside stalls in India, it is also something I make for hubby's birthday every year. 

This year on his birthday, instead of making the plain puris, I have made a variation of it with spices, it turned out really well and tasty.

Diwali Countdown - Gobi Mussallam 【莫卧儿烤全花椰菜】

 

Gobi Musallam is a derivation from the very famous Mughlai dish Chicken Musallam, the chicken is marinated and stuffed with eggs and can be served dry or with gravy. 'Musallam' means whole in Hindi, therefore, just as a whole chicken is cooked in Chicken Musallam, so is the Gobi Musallam. 

The gobi will first be roasted and topped with creamy gravy before baking again, it is a very appealing and tasty dish. Good for party and celebrations!

莫卧儿烤花菜【Gobi Musallam】 源于一道著名的莫卧儿王朝菜,【莫卧儿烤全鸡】- Chicken Musallam,这道烤全鸡是把鸡肉用香料腌制后进行烤制,非常的美味,有的食谱还会在鸡肚里塞上几颗水煮蛋一起烤制,也很美味。 

“Musallam”在印地语里是“整”的意思。所以这道菜做成素食的话,用了整头的花菜代替鸡肉烹制,烤花菜的成品卖相好,看起来非常大气,是个适合聚餐和节庆的美食!
