 LAMB BRIYANI


This evening, I'm preparing lamb briyani. 


The kindergarten way. 

Yes, with the Pressure Cooker.


My magic pot. 

Bryan has bought a tray of Australian shoulder of lamb chops. 
I should chop the meat into smaller pieces but I'm not gonna bother with that. 

Let's just use them whole, shall we? :D


 Ozonize the lamb chops ...
Remove the yucky white substance that is 
floating on the surface of the water.

 The lamp chops are all clean and free of 
chemical-residues and ready to be cooked.

I'm gonna use 3 pieces.

 Ozonize the basmati rice too.

in hot sesame seed oil until fragrant. 


Add mustard seeds. Add cumin seeds. 
Add a packet of ready-mix briyani powder.




2. Cook Lamb first ...

Add the lamb chops already seasond with some 
briyani powder, shoyu and pepper. 

Add 1 small cup of filtered water.

Close lid and wait for the magic pot to hisssssss. 

When it does, turn off the flame and allow the lamb to cook.

The red indicator will drop in about 15 minutes or so.

Open the lid (see photo above).



 3. Add Rice

Add cashew nuts.

Add 1 small cup of filtered water.


I'm cooking 3 cups of rice and would need 2 cups of water in total. 
The lamb and the pre-washed rice has water content.


Add a bunch of coriander leaves.

I'm adding a whole bunch so I can easily remove it later. 


My daughter prefers not to have bits and pieces of greens in her food.

When the red button drops, allow another 15 - 20 minutes 
for the rice to dry up a little, before opening the lid.


Now, open the lid ... Ta--dahhh ...

Fluff the rice up and serve immediately.

DiSH 205 : PASTA with GRiLLED CHiCKEN


 PASTA with GRILLED CHICKEN 
and VEGETABLES


This evening, I'm gonna prepare a simple, no-fuss dinner. 


Easy peasy. :D


I'm gonna grill chicken, boil pasta (vermicelli), blanch broccoli and prepare potato salad. Sounds like a whole lot to do I know ... but trust me, they are just baby steps leading to a yummy dinner. :D

Ozonize the chicken 
to remove the antibiotics and whatever toxic residues ...

1. The Chicken

Season the freshly-ozonized chicken with spicy teriyaki sauce, light shoyu, dark shoyu (spoon on left), honey (spoon on right), sesame seed oil, chicken stock and black pepper.

Place the seasoned chicken on a grilling tray and pop it into the mini-oven. Grill at 180 degrees celcius for about 30 minutes.

 2. The Pasta

Boil pasta noodles until al dente. Just before draining, toss in broccoli and carrots. Blanch briefly. Drain and set aside. Remove vegetables to a separate bowl.

The pasta is in a mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over and toss to coat evenly. I would have liked to add coriander leaves for a bit of texture but my daughter likes her pasta plain. :D

Transfer to dinner plate.

 The grilled chicken is ready ... 
Hmmmmm ... the aroma is amazing!
Transfer the pieces onto pasta and 
pour gravy over the noodles.

3. The Vegetables

Boil potatoes at the same time as pasta. When tender, drain and mix with a generous dollop of mayonnaise. I'm adding some fresh red bell peppers too. Squeeze lemon juice over the fresh vegetables.

 Ta -- dahhh!!!
 
We are enjoying our dinner very much. :D:D:D

Bon Appetite!!!
