Stovetop bread

Oh the nostalgic smell of homemade bread baking in the house. To go with some garlic butter and wash down with coffee. First time I was doing this and I was not sure it would work out. I saw others doing this stovetop bread online so there was hope. My mom told me she made stovetop bread when I was little using a three burner countertop stove. An oven stove was a luxury in those days. Any bread dough recipe will do. Knead and rise the dough. Oil the pot. Knead the dough again and rise again, this time in the pot. Cover while cooking on the very lowest heat for about 25 minutes. Next time I will try 15 to 20 minutes because this time the bottom was too charred. I cut out the charred bottom before serving. I ate some of it as it tasted like a crunchy bread cracker. I think this needs fine tuning and I am up for the challenge. The insides were most delicious though.

*I tried it again using less time and it was perfect

Quick One Pot Pelau

My mom wanted to do the cooking today. We used what was left of the chow mein ingredients and added chicken, rice, pimento, coconut milk, butter and seasoning. Wash the rice. Rinse the cut up veges. The chicken was already cleaned and seasoned and in pieces from the freezer and just had to thaw somewhat. Pelau is a simple and quick one pot meal. Simply stew the chicken, add ketchup and all the ingredients. Flavor wise I prefer a medium brown pelau and in between dry and wet. Pelau goes well with avocado, cole slaw or green salad. Golden Ray butter is nice but we had none plus we are trying to eat less salt. I like brown rice or I would try couscous if I had those to make it healthier.

Tropical Banana Pudding

This works best with overripe bananas but just ripe bananas will work too. When the banana is overripe, the taste and consistency is like a barbadine drink. Simply place the banana in some milk and use a fork to break apart the banana. The consistency should be lumpy. You can then add coffee or flax seed powder or walnuts or any sort of healthy addition that you like. In the photo I did not have overripe bananas that day.

Roasted Baigan with Caramelised Onions

This is done the same way as baigan choka except I cut up and caramalise a whole onion with as many cloves of garlic as you would like.
