I couldn't find jeera or corriander seeds, so I used a curry spice that had corriander seeds in it, but no jeera. It was still good though.
and Naan (Indian bread)
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.
and banana pudding, which is just pudding, bananas, and nilla wafers.
The next Wednesday I made Korean. It's called Bulgogi, Korean beef.
This one, you take thin cut beef and marinade it over night in a sauce that you make Consisting of:
1 apples
1 asian pear
1 onion
soy sauce
put it all in a blender and liquify it.
The next day...
fry a thinly sliced onion and a thinly sliced carrot and the beef with soy sauce. Clearly I lost the recipe... because this is not a very good recipe thing... but ya, that's it.
With fried squash and zucchini (from my garden!! well, the zucchini, I didn't grow squash)
I also made this...
which is wonton wrappers (that I made from scratch) with nutella inside and deep fried, with ice cream. so recipe for wonton wrappers:
Ingredients:
•1 egg
•3/4 teaspoon salt
•2 cups all-purpose flour
•1/3 to 1/2 cup water, as needed
•Extra flour as needed
Preparation:
Lightly beat the egg with the salt. Add 1/4 cup water.
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the egg and water mixture. Mix in with the flour. Add as much of the remaining water as necessary to form a dough. (Add more water than the recipe calls for if the dough is too dry).
Form the dough into a ball and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth, workable dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out until very thin, and cut into 3 1/2-inch squares. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
so that's all for now!! hasta!
