NASI MINYAK BY ZAHIN'S REQUEST

Last friday, Zahin had asked me to cook Nasi Minyak again. Yea, she had asked for it earlier but i didn't have mood to cook Nasi Minyak yet at that time. :( But when she asked while she was sick, it really touched my heart. So this time i made an attempt to cook but the very simple Nasi Minyak for her and glad that it suited to her liking. (Before that she had refused to eat anything). Also i made chicken curry without a coconut milk to be eaten with Nasi Minyak. :) 

I'm sure everybody knows how to make Nasi Minyak and chicken curry but still i want to share how i did it in here. ;)

Ingredients:

3 cups of Basmathi rice

4 cups of water (this depends on your rice, mine doesn't need too much water)

4 red shallots (sliced finely) *

2 garlics (sliced finely)*

1 ladled of Ghee oil

2 star anise*

1 cinnamon stick*

2-3 cardamom pods*

2-3 cloves*

1/2 tomato (sliced finely)

salt to taste

Raisins or other like cashews (optional)

Directions:

1. Wash, rinse rice well and drain it. Put it aside.

2. Heat Ghee oil in a electric rice pot and fry all with * until soft and fragrant

3. Add in the tomato and salt and stir all evenly.

4. Pour the rice into the pot and pour water, add the raisins and keep stirring evenly for a while. Off the heat.

5. Cook the rice on electric cooker like cooking the ordinary rice.

6. When it cooked, give it a stir first before ready to serve. (Gembur2 kan. :D)

I tell you, it is very simple one! :D

Yesterday we had to take Zahin to A & E at N.U.H since her condition not getting any better and she didn't sleep at all the whole night due to breath problem. So I packed a bag and brought Nasi Minyak along in case if we stranded there. We had stranded for quite long hours. Luckily, they allowed us to bring our own food inside. So all of us had eaten Nasi Minyak and Chicken Curry in the cubicle ward at Emergency walk in centre. ;D

Nway, it was tiring of waiting from 11a.m but it's all worth it when finally at 5p.m, Dr. Benjamin allowed Zahin to go home. I dunno what would happen to Iris if Zahin had to admit ward..Since Zahin's oxygen saturated level showed above 90%, doctors decided that she could go home and just gave her an inhaler, volumatic spacer device and steroids to be taken according to their directions. It's f.o.c. If only her condition got worsen, Doc asked us to bring her back immediately.

at the A & E Play Area while waiting to see a doc.

We pray so that Zahin will be fully recovered as soon as possible so that she doesn't need to go to A & E again.

Wassalam.
