Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1436 H

Assalamu’alaikum...

Lama bangeeettt yaa saya nggak meramaikan dunia blogging, heehehe. Maaf ya, dan harap maklum aja, perantau butuh waktu lama buat bongkar muat. Untuk perantau yang jarang pulang seperti saya dan suami butuh waktu kurang lebih dua minggu untuk packing. Lama banget kan yaa? Karena yang di packing nggak cuma baju buat mudik aja, tapi oleh-oleh juga, baik untuk mudik maupun untuk balik kesini, kami selalu menyempatkan membawa oleh-oleh. Jadi beruntunglah teman-teman yang tinggal di sekitar rumah kami atau yang menjadi teman sekantor suami saya, pastilah kebagian. Alhamdulillah. Karena kami senang berbagi, karena kami pun selalu mendapatkan sesuatu ketika teman-teman kami pulang kampung, jadilah tradisi saling memberi oleh-oleh. Selain itu, mudik kali ini pun kami menyempatkan diri untuk memilih hantaran untuk orang tua dan mertua kami, jadi perlu waktu agak lama dalam hal memilah-milih dan memikirkan apa yang cocok sebagai hantaran Lebaran (sebagian sudah saya ceritakan disini ya

). Kok malah jadi curhat, hehehe
 

Karena foto keluarga saat Lebaran sudah terlalu mainstream, maka inilah tampang kami saat mau berangkat mudik, dimana ibu saya masih heboh nyiapin ini itu, sementara kita wefie dulu. Hehhehe

 


Taqaballahu minna wa minkum, Minal aidin wal faizin, Mohon maaf lahir dan batin ya...
Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1436 H. Semoga kita semua dapat kembali fitrah dan diizinkan untuk bertemu dengan Ramadhan tahun berikutnya, Amiiinn.

Wassalamu'alaikum,

EF#24: Must Have Menu for Ramadhan Breakfasting

Kolak Pisang


I usually share a recipe in Cooking Class label, where the content is cooking recipes that I managed to make with my own photo cooking results. Show off. Hahahahah. But this time, this week theme makes me hard to think, writing recipe in English it really something. Well, let's try.

Each family or even perhaps everyone has a menu to breakfasting, before eating the main meal, is like rice and friends. Most people will choose kolak, porridge, ice that contains a variety of fruit, fried snack or maybe just a warm sweet tea. People are free to choose, whether enjoyed during the warmer to warm the stomach which is empty all day, so that the stomach is not surprised when something entered first. Or directly washed down with a cool drink in order to relieve the thirst throughout the day due to the heat. Depending on the choice of each. I personally tend to breakfasting with a warm sweet tea before eating the other. And the next menu is kolak.

Kolak is a kind of food that contains tubers and fruits with sweet coconut milk. The contents of kolak may vary, depending on the tastes of each. Kolak can contain sweet potato, cassava, pumpkin, banana, jack fruit, fro, and others. Usually within kolak contains two kinds of material, could cassava with bananas, sweet potatoes with jack fruit, sweet potatoes with pumpkin, etc. Though it can also include more than two ingredients. But I do not see kolak which there are bananas and jackfruit. Because both have a very strong smell, so what would be the kolak smell.

Incidentally my husband and I really liked kolak, so kolak is our must have menu for breakfasting. This is the kolak recipe we used to make at home.

Ingredients:
Pumpkin
Cilembu sweet cassava
Coconut milk
Water
Salt and sugar
Pandan leaves or vanilla (optional)

How to make:
1. Peel each sweet potato and pumpkin, cut into dice shape.
2. Boil sweet potatoes until tender beforehand because sweet potato harder than pumpkins. Then enter the pumpkin.
3. Boil until they are tender.
4. Reduce the heat, put the coconut milk, stirring slowly and constantly so the coconut milk not broken.
5. Add salt and sugar according to taste. Lift, can be served warm or cold.

The amount of sweet potatoes and pumpkins that are used can be adjusted to the needs so, for how many people or how many times to eat. The amount of milk that is used can also be adjusted, if like the coconut milk that is not too thick or viscous. As well as salt and sugar, if you want a sweet or savory. Pandan leaves can be added or vanilla to add the good smell. But if there is already a banana or jack fruit, do not need to add pandan leaves or vanilla.

How, it’s easy to make it, right? This is our must have menu for breakfasting, what is your must have menu for breakfasting?
