Köfte Kebabı / Turkish lamb Kofta (meatball) Kebab, authentic and best recipe

Resep dalam Bhs Indonesia ada dibagian bawah

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First of all, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on any beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets that you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Köfte or Kofta is definitely everyone's number one favorite here. As kebab, köfte is like a staple and almost everyday meal for locals. Men women adult to toddler.

And just like kebab, köfte has many variants based on the meat used and its origin. 

There is İzmir köftesi origin from İzmir city (see recipe here), or when you visit Bursa you should try Pideli Köfte, it's a small flat meatball served over pide flatbread flush with yummy tomato sauce then "fizz" with hot melted butter. You can check how to make it home here. There is another köfte from İnegöl town named İnegöl Köfte.

Each köfte (meatball) has its own type.

And today İ'd like to share my family's favorite; Köfte Kebabı or Kofta (meatball) kebab. At a glance, it may look alike Adana Kebab, but it's totally different.
This is just simply meatball wrap over 2 cm wide bamboo skewer then grill or roast in oven/grilling. The spice used for this köfte is more simple than Adana Kebab, but believe me, it is still packed with the flavor of Turkish cuisine.

Indonesia has many....probably hundreds of variants of snacks. Start from traditional snacks e.g many kind of kueh basah (literally means wet/moist snacks), fried snacks (in Indonesian call gorengan) and other type of jajanan (snacks) mostly known as street food/ snack; for example batagor, siomay, kerak telur and more. 
Kueh basah are more often steamed than baked and usually has a sweet taste, but some are also savory. But not all of them use steamed method, named kue basah mostly because they are moist. 

Check category Indonesian Snack (jajan pasar/ kue) for more Indonesian Kueh or snack.

Just like what İ want to share today. İt's including in kue basah- calls Serabi Kinca. İt's a pancake-like, served with sweet coconut milk sauce. Traditionally the pancake is cooked on a clay concave wok and heat over a traditional clay stove with charcoal called an anglo stove.

Unfortunately, mine was broken during my flight from İndonesia to Turkey few years ago. So İ made this favorite kue basah using small teflon pan diameter ±13cm. İf you have iron cast pan it will work as well.

AUTHENTIC INDONESIAN FOOD RECIPE; MANADONESE CHICKEN WOKU / AYAM WOKU BELANGA

Resep dalam Bhs İndonesia bisa diklik disini

Selam everybody.... Merhaba from Türkey.

Indonesian cuisine varies greatly by region and has many different influences. Sumatra cuisine, for example, often has Middle Eastern and Indian influences, featuring curried meat and vegetables such as gulai and kari, while Javanese cuisine is mostly indigenous, with some hint of Chinese influence. The cuisines of Eastern Indonesia are similar to Polynesian and Melanesian cuisine. Elements of Chinese cuisine can be seen in Indonesian cuisine: foods such as bakmi (noodles), bakso (meat or fish balls), and lumpia (spring rolls) have been completely assimilated.

Throughout its history, Indonesia has been involved in trade due to its location and natural resources. Additionally, Indonesia’s indigenous techniques and ingredients were influenced by India, the Middle East, China, and finally Europe. Spanish and Portuguese traders brought New World produce even before the Dutch came.

The Indonesian islands Moluccas (Maluku), which are famed as "the Spice Islands", also contributed to the introduction of native spices, such as cloves and nutmeg, to Indonesian and global cuisine.

Indonesian cuisine often demonstrates complex flavor, acquired from certain ingredients and bumbu spices mixture. Indonesian dishes have rich flavors; most often described as gurih (savory which equate to umami) and pedas (hot and spicy), and also combination of basic tastes such as manis (sweet), asin (salty), asam (sour) and pahit (bitter).

Salted caramel Apple Galette

Autumn slowly leaving the town

Abandon those deciduous leaves in wet

She preached to the cold white snow

That she must go somewhere at north

Bringing sad news from the south

The world is no longer the same

Autumn sad, but without tears

Because it already dried away

in the night when the summer dropped by...

🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁

Basic Macarons with Chocolate Caramel Filling (Italian meringue method)

Resep dalam Bhs Indonesia ada di bagian bawah

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First of all, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up any beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets that you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Making macarons is part of my baking journey. I still remember how many times İ failed baking them before İ finally had my happy ending story.

My 1st successful macarons were lemon macarons a couple of years ago, followed by some flavored macarons that become my favorite, especially Pandan macarons with coconut cream filling. 
For you who never try pandan in your macarons, you should try it...totally delish for your coffee time or entertain your friends.

Or maybe chocolate is your favorite.. you could see my dark chocolate macarons İ previously posted.
All those my macarons are using french meringue method which starts with raw egg whites, whipped until they're foamy enough to hold stiff peaks, then fold into almond icing sugar mixture.
For Macarons with French meringue method, you can visit my category list "MACARONS" .

Just for information, there are three methods to whip the egg white; French method ( İ mentioned above), the Swiss method, and the İtalian method.

Swiss meringue method combines the granulated sugar and egg whites upfront, whisking them together over a water bath to about 140°F (60°C), then whipping them until stiff peak stage.

You might know that macarons are highly unreliable cookies, even if you have made them several times. The results can vary from time to time, and sometimes you have no idea what went wrong when you got your macarons has no feet or crack or collapse after baking. 

It takes some time to figure out what works for you, in your kitchen and oven. 

When making macarons, most patisseries use the Italian method, due to the reliability of Italian meringue. People say it's very stable, which is important for a well-shaped macaron as well as fail-safe.

That's one of my reason also İ want to start my baking journey using İtalian meringue method for my macarons. İn this method we will whip the meringue with hot sugar syrup until it thick and glossy before adding it to almond mixture.

So voalla... here it is my blue macarons using my first italian meringue method 😍😎

For this method, İ uses liquefied egg white which is the egg white that had been placed in a clean jar, İ covered with cling wrap with some small holes to let water content evaporate. İ kept my egg white in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days.

Indonesian mix vegetables cooked in coconut milk (vegan curry) / Resep Sayur Lodeh

Resep dalam Bhs İndonesia klik disini.

Selam everybody...... Merhaba from Turkey.

Today's post is about my childhood meal. Me and siblings grew up with this dish. My mom or my grandmother usually cooked this for us. İt's mix vegetable (curry-look alike) cook in coconut milk. Most often tofu or tempeh also mixed in it. And if we have enough money (at that time) to buy shrimps, my mom or grandma also put some small shrimp in it.

This Called sayur lodeh ( or in Javanese language calls Jangan Lodeh). Javanese curry-like dish, content with various vegetables, like eggplant, chayote, zucchini, young green jackfruit, bamboo shoot, yardlong bean, green bean, corn and so on. Just any leftover vegetable you have in your fridge can be added. 
And for protein addition, we add some tofu, tempeh or shrimp.
İt is so simple and cheap. That the reason why this was most repeatable menu in our house during my childhood.

We eat this with plain steamed rice, adding sambal terasi is a must. Together with fried protein - like fish or chicken- as side dish, this is the most humble and so traditional of Indonesian food. And forget to mention it's vegan and healthy.

Adana kebab is a hand-minced meat kebab, mounted on a wide long skewer then grilled (mangal) over charcoal. This kebab mostly has a spicy distinguished taste due to the addition of a lot of spicy Urfa biber / isot biber. 
Urfa biber is a dried Turkish chili pepper (type of Capsicum annuum cultivated) origin from Urfa (Şanlıurfa- one province in southeast Turkey) 

This kebab is named after the city where this famous kebab came from - Adana.
Adana is the 6th big city in population (2016) in Turkey (south).

You may want to try this Çökertme kebabı also

Urfa biber / isot biber

There is also similar to this kebab named Urfa kebabı ( from Şanlıurfa) or people calls haşhaş kebabı which is less spicy than Adana kebab.

But I assure you those kebabs are extremely delicious and once you eat it you won't forget the taste and you will ask for more. 

Even the kebabs from Adana city (far away to south Anatolia), no need to worry if you visit Turkey (Istanbul or other cities) you'll find this Adana kebab seller everywhere almost in each city. But still-of course-you must-visit Adana to taste the real bud of Adana kebab 😊
