Two By Two

Ever since I found out that Elinluv is so "pandai" in cooking, baking, grilling, and all the "ings", I followed closely to her blog. More or less I became a "copycat", if she cooks this today, I cook that tomorrow... she sort of gives me an idea what to cook and what I don't understand, she will teach me (face-to-face).... I appreciate her patience very much...not easy to teach someone like me.... lol...

"Elin, don't ask me to read your recipe, I remember better if you tell me straight in my face.." And this was what I did when she told me how to cook this savoury butter chicken...


my first step to frying the chicken cubes...


aahhh... jadi pulak...



Fernie loves this very much... hope Andy won't see read this post, he will not be able to concentrate on his studies if he does... but in another 2 weeks, he will be home to savor this!!

Ok, here's the ingredients by Elinluv... for the method, u know where to go, right? But when u r there, don't do one thing please!!! Never to compare my picture with hers, OK? hehehee.....

one big chicken breast – diced into bite-sized cubes

a pinch of sea salt

a dash of white pepper

1 heaped tbsp of corn flour

1 egg white

a cup of panko brad crumbs/ cornflour

vegetable oil for deep frying

2 sprigs of curry leaves

2 pips of garlic – chopped

2 bird’s eye chilli – deseeded and cut into half (i used one eye chilli, fernie & i cannot take too spicy)

1 tbsp of curry powder (i didnt use curry powder)

½ tbsp of olive oil (i used normal oil)

2 tbsp of butter (1 tablespoon cos i scared fattening)

1 egg yolk – whisk tog with 1 tbsp of milk (i didnt use milk)


this is kau kei soup with fish balls

anyone wants this recipe?? hahaha..
i m sure many know how to do this..
ask me if u don't ..lol...
(now can berlagak a bit)
