Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Experiment time! Tried out jeneket, even though I don't know what it is. I might have eaten it before, but I can't recall. It is an old school snack but isn't readily available now. It is like making doughnut, but since the yeast is not a lot, the batter can be left overnight. And I love easy peasy recipes. I have avoided making bread because you need to wait for a certain number of hours, go to it again, then let it proof again. Also, kneading. Nope. But this 'bread' just requires using the k-beater on my Kenwood, then let the dough rest overnight, or 8 hours.  Recipe is from here , and I've searched many many times and all sorts, just to make sure I know what I'm doing.

I've made green curry before, but that was using a paste bought from a recent trip to Bangkok. That turned out perfect, complete with pea eggplants (those small green bitter balls) & Thai eggplants (green and round). Wanted to try making from scratch, so I followed the recipe from here . Thai Green Curry Paste 4 green chilis 6 green cili padi 2 medium onions 2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped 2 tbsp galangal 5 cloves garlic 2 1/2 tsp belacan 2 tsp lime zest, grated 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp tumeric powder 2 tbsp chopped coriander root and stem 1/4 cup coriander leaves Thai Green Curry Recipe 1 set green curry paste Oil for frying 250ml coconut cream, and then some (recipe calls for 400g) 3 tsp fish sauce 1 bloc...
