Puding Raja and Jala Mas

I use old diaper to get only the egg yolk. I bought the diaper but never use it.
It looks like it is perfect to seperate the egg yolk from the white one.

The egg yolk 

The jala mas

I got this much for 2 kilos of bananas

Puding raja with its garnishing

From another angle...

the gravy

I prepared the puding raja and jala mas since my friend ordered it. She said it was for her daughter who is pregnant. Her daughter has an appetite to eat the dish. I refused to prepare it but considering the reason mentioned, I prepared it also. I got up early in the morning; 4 am just to ensure that I could deliver it to her at 9.00am on that day. I didn't take any payment for the work done (my husband required me not to do so). So, I just asked her the money I spent in buying the ingredients. She gave me a double pay when she paid me the other day, alhamdulillah...

a) Ingredients for the puding raja

1. 2 kilos of pisang raja (this is the most suitable banana for this dish)
2. oil for frying
3. For garnishing you need: cherries (red and green), raisins, cashew nuts (that you fry without oil for a while) and prunes 

Preparation procedure for the puding raja

In a wok, pour in the oil. When the oil is heated, fry the bananas until golden brown. Drain and dry. Then, put them aside to cold

b) Ingredients for the jala mas

1. 20 eggs yolk
2. 1 and a half cup of sugar 
3. 2 cups of water
4. banana leaves (shape them like ice-cream cones with very very small hole below them. Make 2-4 because they might be broken during the process of 'menjala' later). If they are big, they  turned out to be quite ugly just like the the jala mas you see in picture 4 (the container in the first and second row on the left)
   

Preparation procedure for the jala mas

Seperate the egg yolk from the white. Stir it slowly. In a wok, pour in the water and sugar. When there are bubles surfacing the mixture (of water and sugar, hereinafter called syrup), take the banana leave that you have made into an ice-cream cone like shape. In a circle motion, move the ice-cream cone like shape in the wok.  Look at the picture below at how you need to to move the leave, just like forming mosquito coil. The smaller the gap between each layer, the better. p/s: When the syrup is thick during this process, pour in hot water. 

c) Ingredients for the gravy

1. 1 can of evaporated milk (I use Saji brand)
2. 1 can of water (you use the evaporated milk can to measure the water) 
3. 1/2 cup of sugar (I you can extra sugar if you want the gravy to be much sweeter)

Preparation procedure for the gravy

In a cooking pot, pour in the evaporated milk. Then add water. And finally add in sugar. Let it boil before turning off the stove. Make sure you always stir it to avoid the mixture to form bubbles. You may also put screw pine leave for fragrant if you like. But I don't put.  It was still dark outside so I didn't dare go and pluck it.


Serving the puding raja


In a bowl, arrange the bananas. Then put prunes on top of them. Then spread raisins, cherries and cashew nuts. After that, spread the jala mas on these ingredients. Then, pour in the gravy. It is sufficient that you pour it to cover the ingredients mentioned. Serve it cold (perhaps you can store the gravy in the fridge for a while before serving). Happy trying..

Nasi dagang 'Eid Adha-A reminiscence of my late mother; Hajah Semekkah Sulaiman

 My mother always put the nasi dagang in a basin. Its much easier to stir after you pour in the coconut milk

 The gravy... i use ikan tongkol. Just like my late mother use to make

A plate of nasi dagang 

My late mother (and father) were from Terengganu. In the state, nasi dagang is one of the main menus that many Malay house holds serve for their guess during eid adha or eid fitri. I always love to eat nasi dagang, partially because I like to eat fish (I use ikan tongkol or tuna fish for the gravy). I remembered that I used to help my mother stirring the nasi dagang after she poured-in the coconut milk. I could still remember the aroma. And it was only these special days that I could eat the nasi dagang prepared by mother. She never (as long as I could remember) missed to prepare it on these days.

When I was working (and still not married then), I used to accompany her to the market (Pasar Besar) in Kuantan. I would buy all the ingredients after I listed them on a paper. Since she was not able to walk fast (as she told me so), she often waited in the car. I would find the ingredients she requested in all the sections in the market. You can just imagine, I would be carrying more than 2 big plastic bags of the nasi dagang's ingredients (of course with some others as well) from the market to a few blocks of buildings where I parked my father's car. They were surely heavy, but I knew that was only tiny little sacrifice I did for her.

Back in the house, she would be busy washing the fish and doing other stuffs. I only helped her in the last stage of preparing the nasi dagang- only after she poured in the santan/ coconut milk. My task was only to mix the santan with the rice. Hence, I regret that I didn't ask her how she prepared the nasi dagang. Her care in preparing all good food, motivating my academic and career en devour, was a sacrifice of a true mother eventhough she was only a housewife (and never been to schools). Al fatihah to my late father and mother~ Hajah Semekkah Sulaiman & Haji Ali bin Jusuh.

In my entire life, this is the first time I cook nasi dagang- on eid adha 2011. So, for the recipe, I had it from Chef Hanieliza's blog. Thanks to her for sharing the recipe. By the way, I didn't prepare acar timun. It uses vinegar in which my husband is allergic to it. Anyway, below is the recipe.
