Day 117 : Stir-Fried Chilly Prawns & Okra

STIR-FRIED CHILLY PRAWNS & OKRA


Yup, I know. It's sambal tumis again. This time, it's all homemade. Yesterday, I used an instant ready-mix packet. Complained to Bryan that it was a wee bit too sweet so he suggested we do our own sambal tumis mix for dinner tonight. :D 
 
 
3 simple steps :
 

1. Blend the Ingredients

2. Saute the Ingredients

3. Add In Okra & Prawns

 

Spices : fennel seeds, coriander powder, cumin seeds, 
tumeric powder, cumin powder, 
star anise, cardamons, clove, cinnamon stick 
(the last 4 comes in a packet of mixed spices)


To Blend : shallots, garlic, ginger, chillies, tomato, 
lemon grass and bunga kantan (torch ginger).

1. Blend the Ingredients
2. Saute the Ingredients
Saute the spices in cooking oil. 
Add the blended the ingredients.
Add filtered water.
Bring to boil over medium heat.
3. Add in Okra ...

Squeeze lime juice over.
Add seasalt.
Close lid for a few minutes.
Ta-dahhh ...
A delightfully spicy dish!
Flavorful and spicy. Delicious and yummy!
Sure beats the instant ready-mix. :D
We are having the chilly prawns with watercress soup.
