Semolina Pudding

Very very lazy Monday morning today.

Cousin got married over the weekend! Junior was in a good mood for both days, surrounded by family which he loves.

This was after the nikah at the girl's side. He was happily making this cute pose and laughing at himself haha.

My little king, slightly sleepy yet still wanted to pose with his crown.

Managed to slot in semolina pudding on Saturday morning, finally I got to make some. It's kinda hard to find a recipe online cos there's German version, Indian version and others as well. Few weeks ago I came across a recipe book by an Indian/Pakistani Singaporean and the semolina pudding looks like what I was looking for so I tried it out!

Sadly I didn't have rose water so the Indian flavour fell flat. Or maybe I should add in more cardamoms next time.

Semolina Pudding, by Liza Kassim

900ml water
1 cup sugar
2 tsp rose water (I didn't have this)
1 pandan leaf (Didn't have this either)
2-3 cardamoms
400ml evaporated milk (1 can)
1/4 tsp salt
2-3 drops colouring (I omitted)
1/2 cup almonds + 1/4 cup water blended into a paste
150g semolina

Heat the water, sugar, rose water, pandan leaf and cardamoms until it comes to a boiling point.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and slowly add the almond paste, salt, milk and colouring. Don't let mixture come to a boil.
Add in the semolina bit by bit. Once the semolina begins to thicken, take off from the heat.
Garnish with almonds and raisins.

Not bad for my first try, and I've been having it for breakfast hahaha. Next time I shall use the rose water and see if it makes a difference.

Makes 3 of the bigger ikea containers, plus some leftovers in the bowl (picture above).

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
