Bread & Butter Pudding

Image
buttery..  lovely taste... My Bread & Butter Pudding recipe has evolved through out the years.. I am not sure how this recipe developed for the first time. But I know a good bread pudding comes with the sauce.  Because it is family favourite, and sometimes requested by friends & lately students, I probably have made more than hundreds time. Anyway, the best part is, I cant say it is the same old recipe.. worst of all, I don't have the exact measurement. That can frustrate some.. My 'agak-agaklah' can be irritating to those who hope their bread pudding to turn out right the first time they make it.  Look at the top pix. At 3 different  occasion, they looked so different. different design too! Just to show life should not be too rigid and food should not look the same & dull.   Bread Pudding (all ingredients are only my estimation) 1 big loaf of bread 2 egss 50 gm sugar 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups of fresh milk 100 gm butter ...

Chicken Kurma on Sunday..

Standard Uwan Loyah and Ngah Nabah, Only my grandma and an aunt who could  do such a thing. So I looked forward to any wedding to get the taste. This was not my dad's fav either. So understood, mom didnt cook this dish often except kenduri... I fell in love with Kurma ayam as I got tired of cooking chicken curry - too spicy and thick. But Kurma that I like is mild and I love the combinations of coconut milk and fresh milk with all the colorful veggies.  My first Kurma was made when I was in Crete, Nebraska. My first year thousands miles away from home. I looked for recipe and had to make the spices from scratch.. really had to pound the cumin and some other spices ( cant remember) but it turned out great! for that moment it was superb what ever cooked and presented on the plate to meet the appetite of hunger missing-home ladies..  Today,...
