Yemeni Chicken Mandi easy recipe

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

Yemeni Chicken Mandi recipe.| Çitra's Home Diary. #middleeast #chickenmandi #lunch #chicken #resepayam #resepnasimandi #hawaij #spicemix

Today I am going to share one delicious middle eastern dish calls, Chicken Mandi. It's one of popular traditional dishes from Yemen.

Mandi is now popular among other Arab countries as well. Traditionally, the meat is slow-cooked in a tandoor (underground oven) which makes the meat extremely tender and delicious and served over aromatic rice.

The spice rub used to marinate the meat (lamb or chicken) is called Hawaij– coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, whole black peppercorns are roasted till aromatic and made into a powder. See also how to make hawaij spices mixture in my previous post.


This is a very mild dish, not spicy at all. The rice was extremely aromatic and tasted very flavorful. Enjoy this Mandi in its authentic way! 
My husband loves it and me as Asian also enjoy it very much. And since it's not hot spice at all, my kid eat her portion happily.

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

30 degree Celsius rainy day today. Something that exactly reminds me of my homeland. I love summer! I feel like energizing during summer. And nothing is more festive the summer than bright and colorful fruits and vegetables on farmer market. 

And did I mention barbecue time at open air with friends and family? Picnic and barbecue time is officially open by nature..!
Just like previous years, we just prepare some Turkish meatball / köfte and some chicken with local taste and flavor.. almost always same. 


So I wanna try new thing to prepare for next barbecue. This is actually my old fave back when I was in Jakarta, grilled barbecue chicken thigh. I used to ate this barbecue chicken (sometimes ribs) at least once in a week in one of cool restaurant in Rasuna Said at that time.

So today I wanna try to make it in home first for preparation next week barbacue. But today I made this for our dinner 1st and I wanna see my husband's impression whether he like it or not.
The recipe I adapted from Jamie's Oliver barbecue ribs with minor adjustment base on my prefer and ingredients I have.

Tavuk Kebabı / (Adana kebab inspired) Best Chicken sish Kebab recipe


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


Tavuk Kebabı /  Best Chicken sish Kebab recipe. This delicious chicken kebab was inspired by famed Adana kebab. But I made it from chicken instead of lamb/ beef. But be sure this would be your new favorite list.#Turkishkebab #Turkishfood #kebab #kabob #chickenkebab #lamb #beefkebab #adanakebab #maindish #sishkebab #barbecue #grilled #InheritanceRecipes
Kebap  (in Arabic: کباب) means meat that cooked directly on fire (charcoal or wood-burning oven) or within a pot. (However, what we understand from today's definition kebab is that it includes tomato and pepper). 
In Sumerian language, the word kebab is derived from ''kabuba'' word meaning roasting. According to the some of the sources, kebab is a general definition for the Arabic-origin meat dishes. From these explanations, it's told that kebab comes to Anatolia from peasants who immigrated to Adana from Arabic countries to cultivate.
According to the comments of the experts, people's waiting for the meat to be cooked around the fire when fire was found and used to cook meat, i.e. when the kebab was being cooked for the first time formed a basis for table culture.

Resep dalam Bhs İndonesia ada di bagian bawah







Selam Everybody...... Merhaba from Turkey...

My today post is my favorite dish; Kari ayam or Indonesian chicken curry. This kari ayam I served on my family dinner table together with famed roti jala. In case you missed my roti jala recipe, you can check it here.

Kari or curry is one of the diversity of Indonesian food. This dish believed derived by Indian influence to Indonesia. Read more about Indonesian cuisine at bottom part of this post.

We have many kind of curry "bumbu" version too. "Bumbu" is the Indonesian word for spice or seasoning, and it commonly appears in the names of spice mixtures, sauces and seasoning pastes. 
Beside variation from ingredient used like chicken, lamb, beef or vegetables, curry "bumbu" also has some variation, eg. green curry, red, or yellow curry.


And today I am going to share my chicken red curry. This dish was one of food which my mom often to cook for us. Or if we celebrate something, this food is "a must" food together with other celebration's dish (we call it kenduren or selamatan)

Different from other region (like North Sumatra and Riau Islands) where they serve it with roti jala, in Java mostly we eat this curry with steamed rice together with chilly sambal and cucumber or pickle.

This recipe I get from my mom. If you search for curry recipe on the net I'm sure you will find hundreds of it. But for this curry my mom recipe is worth to try! Nothing more authentic and delicious than my mom's. Yup..mom's recipe is always my best! ^,^

Homemade Chicken Nuggets. KID'S FAVORITE!

Resep dalam Bhs İndonesia ada di Bagian bawah.








Selam every one...Merhaba from Turkey.

Are you "facebookholic"? ... Sorry for my term. I mean do you often read the news story on  front wall shared by your facebook friends and all of sudden you find your self on somewhere inside cyberspace....It is fun, but sometimes we forgot how long we've been there ... oh..no..no..no..If already at that stage where we forget the time ... stop it. Off-connect and re-connect with the real world.



A few days ago, I accidentally read a news feed Shared by a friend on FB about dangers of preservatives in food-which is impossible may not be used in the fast food industry or frozen food. yeahhh... of course in their advertisement they will not mentioned or even denied it.. Do you believe that?

Imagine if (even) small amount of substance x we ​​consumed continuously year after year ... Imagine also if our young children began to consume it at their early age.....

To be frankly, before marriage and life as a single, away from my family, ready meals and frozen nearly my every day menu. At that time, of course I am aware of the dangers of the materials x, y, z which might be in these foods, not to mention the quality of the ingredients used, whether fresh or good condition and so on. What to do, I live alone, cooking was a big effort for me ... maybe you understand what I mean.

But after getting married ... I changed completely. Not only health reasons I mentioned above, also is more economical, and there's "romantic bonding" when my husband and I ate my cooking or his cooking ...or sometimes we cook together at the weekend ... And when my child comes in our life, giving her the best in all things is our obsession-including her meals.

Anywwaaaayyy.... with homemade meal, you can control the ingredients you use.. quality and price... And heyy.. homemade is cheaper!


My today's post  is homemade Chicken nuggets. I mix vegetables too in this chicken nuggets...you know I always try to "hide" vegetables in my kid's meal as much as I can...
You should try this also to add new lunch box idea or just for kid's snacking time... ^,^

Mie siram capcay / Indonsian style noodle topped with vegetables


Selam everybody...Merhaba from Turkey..

If you far away from homeland..and you are in a place which has totally different culture (read; in cuisine) from yours.. believe me, your longing is worst than broken heart 😄
 hahahha.. I just exaggerate it.
But honestly I'am talking real story here. Especially anything you need to make your own homeland food isn't available locally or it's very difficult to find. I remember earlier years I'd staying here, it was around 2008 or 2009, even egg noodle was very difficult to find. I must went to big chain supermarket (where far away from my house), then sometimes I got painfully heat broken cause couldn't find it there. 

When I got lucky, my husband surprisingly brought it for me from another big supermarket near his office. To buy soy sauce, we must buy it online which sometimes also no stock.... Yes...that was my earlier year living in Turkey. Maybe local people are't familiar to Asian culinary.

Mie siram capcay / Indonsian style noodle topped with vegetables. #indonesiacuisine #capcay #ifumie #asianfood #indonesian #seafood #chicken #stirfry

That's why I start to make some homemade thing start from egg noodle, tofu, tempeh, even I sprout my own bean sprout..  So true that said: lack condition/ limitation drives you to be creative person 😄

And years gone by.. and I was so happy cause some ingredients I need to make my own style food become easier to find here.. don't know why..maybe Asian foreigners getting more settled here..😄  dunno!

Tom Yum Gai (Thai Spicy Chicken Soup) from scratch

Resep dalam bahasa Indonesia ada di bagian bawah







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


Tom yam or tom yum is spicy thai soup usually cooked with shrimp. Beside in Thailand it also served around it neighbours countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Brunei. It is so popular and become world wide popular food not only at those Asian neighbours.

Tom yum is characterised by its distinct hot and sour flavours, with fragrant spices and herbs generously used in the broth. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce, and crushed chili peppers.

Tom yum soup has many variant depends on ingredients use such as :
Tom yum goong or tom yam kung, is made with prawns as the main ingredient.
Tom yam pla is a clear fish soup that was traditionally eaten with rice. It used to be the most widespread form of tom yam before mass-tourism came to Thailand, for fresh fish is readily available almost everywhere in the region's rivers, canals and lakes as well as in the sea. Usually fish with firm flesh that doesn't crumble after boiling is preferred for this type of soup.
Tom yum gai or tom yam kai is the chicken version
Tom yum po taek or tom yam thale is a variant of the soup with mixed seafood, like prawns, squid, clams and pieces of fish.
Tom yam nam khon is a more recent variation. Almost always made with prawns as a main ingredient, a little milk or coconut milk is added to the broth as a finishing touch, and then balanced with some toasted dried chillies. This adaptation is not to be confused with tom kha gai ("chicken galanga soup"), where galangal is the dominant flavour of the coconut milk-based soup.
Tom yam kung maphrao on nam khon , a version of prawn tom yum with the meat of a young coconut and a dash of (coconut) milk.
Tom yam kha mu, made with pork leg. These require a long cooking time under low fire.

What I'm about to share today is tom yum gai (tom yan kai), tom soup made from chicken. Beside using chicken meat and mushrooms, I also add some small shrimp to get great tom yum flavour that I like. For this tom yum kai you may skip the shrimp if you want.

If you browse around the net for this recipe, you'll get hundreds of it. Some use ready tom yum paste (nam prik pao) and some making from scratch.
Mostly I make all my foods from scratch but for this spicy tom yum I prefer use ready nam prik pao/ thai spicy sauce, it will give you real kick of thai dish! .... But poor me this winter my nam prik pao finish.... so you can guess... I cooked tom yum many times ^,^

Well...it's my fave dish..especially during winter and cold days or when I got flu... So what to do.. this time I make my tom yum soup really from scratch... The taste is so tasteful exactly when I use ready nam prik pao.

So bad I forgot to picture my home made tom yum paste/ nam prik pao...next time I'll post my home made nam prik pao in different post.

Smoked Paprika roasted chicken with pearl couscous pilaf

Selam...Merhaba from Turkey....

Have you heard pearl couscous? Have you eat it before? 
Also calls Ptitim in Hebrew, other calls Israeli couscous. In some countries calls mograbieh/ moghrabieh or giant couscous or fregola. It's small balls of toasted semolina flour. Not technically a grain, but more like pasta. 

Beside bread, couscous is a staple dish in Mediterranean area. Beside pearl couscous there is also Moroccan couscous which has smaller grain than pearl couscous. Both have high nutrition and low fat.

As an Asian this dish is part of my cuisine adventures. Mostly it took me several times to taste one food for make me like that food, but for this pearl couscous I instantly like it at 1st plate.

The unique chewy texture of this dish make me think of other yummy variation I could create from it. Last time I made couscous salad but I didn't satisfied with the taste.. So maybe I should start with simple dish first like this simple couscous pilaf.

And for make more special on our dinner table, I serve this pearl couscous pilaf with roasted smoke paprika which already became my family favorite.
These dish are perfect and fulfill all things you want to provide for your family dinner yet simple and quick to make. For complete it I made simple tomato salad and parsley. You can add some arugula and fresh mint too- I didn't have stock of it.

For making Salad dressing I simply mix some freshly lemon juice with olive oil, seasoned with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Keep in a small jar until ready to use.

And for making smoked paprika roasted chicken, you should marinate chicken and all other ingredients at least 2 hours before-- mostly I prepare a night before so I have best smoke paprika flavor seeped to my chicken perfectly in next day.

Terbiyeli Tavuk çorbası ( Creamy seasoned Chicken soup)

Selam Everybody....Merhaba from Turkey...

Soup or çorba (read chor_ba) in Turkey is always served as first/ opening dish in dinner or lunch time before we go to main dish. If you check my other Turkish soup you will find that mostly Turkish soup are creamy one as people's preferred. Use yogurt and or flour as sauce and thicken the soup.

Unlike Indonesian or other Asian soup, Turkish soups are smooth and no big chunk of meat or vegetable used. If using meat, cut it into very small chunks. For vegetable soup mostly we blend it to smooth and creamy.

And nothing can comfort us during cold days than a family and good creamy soup on our dinner table. And this tebiyeli tavuk çorbası it might become your choice too for bring the warmth into your house ^,^

Chicken Sausage Rolls

Selam Everybody.... Merhaba from Turkey....

There is a time in a month or two I feel like don't want to do anything just lay down on my bed. When I was single a long time ago and that time came to me like a virus I usually spontaneously and unprofessionally absent from my office work... 😃

And now...when there is a time in a month or two I feel like don't want to do anything.... I can not! ^,^ With one kid asking full attention the whole day I have already "not so active" on my Facebook or tweeter anymore these past 2 years...
I just write and post in this blog with simple words and shortly as I already sleepy doing it late at night. So.. the point is I can not have lazy days anymore, not now...maybe a few years later... 😊

And for cooking also...I would find something as easiest and fast as I can... simple, quick, and maybe can be frozen to eat later again. Like this Chicken sausage roll. I made them about a dozen, eat some, and freeze the rest.
But that was my plan..couldn't resist eating this little yummy more than 3 as a snack together with hot tea in these cold days. They didn't make it into the freezer... ^,^

Opor Ayam / Chicken braised in coconut milk ( javanese curry) Recipe

For Recipe in English please scroll down







Assalamu'alaikum.... Merhaba from Turkey..
Masih dalam suasana Idhul Fitri.... saya ingin sampaikan salam selamat hari raya Idhul Fitri 1 syahwal 1436 H..Mohon Maaf lahir dan bathin.

Memang kalau jauh dari tanah air... membuat kita makin menghargai tradisi yang dulu sewaktu kita di tanah air tidak terlalu kita perhatikan -- yang suatu saat kita akan rindukan...

Hal sekecil apapun yang biasa kita dapatkan di tanah air, kini menjadi suatu memori yang sangat berharga dan selalu ingin kita hidupkan kembali di tanah yang jauh dari kampung halaman kita...

Seperti halnya Lebaran yang kali ini saya lewati di Turki. Lebaran Idhul Fitri di Turki mempunyai nuansa yang berbeda dari lebaran di Indonesia- walau setiap orang sama bersemangat menyambutnya.  

Di Indonesia lebaran identik dengan aneka kue kering dan ketupat. Idhul Fitri di Turki terasa kurang jika tidak ada "baklava" dan permen/ turkish delight. Setiap rumah pasti menyajikan baklava untuk kerabat, teman dan sanak keluarga yang berkunjung di hari lebaran idhul fitri - dalam bahasa turkinya " Ramazan Bayram" atau kadang disebut "Şeker Bayram"

Baklava adalah pastry berlapis dengan isian semacam kacang kenari/ walnut atau dengan isian pistachio, dioven lalu disiram dengan sirup gula kental atau madu. Jadi bisa dibayangkan rasanya yang sangat manis legit dan gurih.

Tahun ini saya tidak sediakan Baklava di rumah. Hanya supaya tidak kehilangan nuansa "Şeker Bayram" (yang artinya Lebaran permen) saya juga sediakan permen coklat bikinan sendiri selain aneka kue kering khas Indonesia. Inshaalloh untuk permen coklat homemade akan saya posting terpisah.

Orange Chicken recipe

Orange Chicken is an American Chinese dish of Hunan origin. The variety of orange chicken most commonly found at North American fast food restaurants consists of chopped, battered, and fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet orange-flavored chili sauce, which thickens or caramelizes to a glaze. While the dish is very popular in the United States, it is most often found as a variation of General Tso's chicken rather than the dish found in mainland China.

In most countries in the western hemisphere, the names "orange chicken", "orange peel chicken", "orange flavor chicken", and "tangerine chicken" are typically used for this particular dish. In Chinese, however, the dish is always known as "陳皮雞", literally "old peel chicken", referring to dried orange or tangerine peel, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine as well as cooking. For restaurants outside of Asia, fresh orange peel is often used instead, or even no peel at all.



My Today's post is Orange Chicken. I was searching and comparing some recipes across google... and they are typically the same with slight diversity and I found this recipe. The recipe I copied from Blogchef.net meet my taste (again, as Asian). 
And after I tried it... yes...indeed..this is the recipe that suits me in flavor. 

Here I re-write the recipe I use from blogchef.net with minor adjustments...

Money Bag dumpling made from scratch


Selam everybody....Merhaba from Turkiye



Dumplings are a food that consists of small pieces of dough, either cooked alone or wrapped around a filling. They can be based on flour, potatoes or bread, and may include meat, fish, vegetables, or sweets. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying, or baking. They may have a filling, or there may be other ingredients mixed into the dough. Dumplings may be sweet or savoury. They can be eaten by themselves, in soups or stews, with gravy, or in any other way. While some dumplings resemble solid water-boiled doughs, such as gnocchi, others such as wontons or ravioli feature a wrapping of dough around a filling-Wiki
I love dumpling and as Asian I prefer Asian -- any kind-- of Asian dumpling. Whether it's steaming or fried or pot sticker. 

I was craving this "money bag" dumpling for while ago but I keep postpone it due to my "spring cleaning"  schedule which I just could do this early May since cold weather and raining so often in last April. You know, making dumpling from starch takes some times. We must make the wonton wrap first, then make filling, then fry, then prepare the dipping sauce.. (^,^) . What do you think?? Will you still make it?? It's worthy though ... (^,^)


As some sources is a traditional dim sum brunch includes various types of steamed buns such as cha siu baau, dumplings and rice noodle rolls (cheong fun), which contain a range of ingredients, including beef, chicken, pork, prawns and vegetarian options. Many dim sum restaurants also offer plates of steamed green vegetables, roasted meats, congee porridge and other soups. Dessert dim sum is also available and many places offer the customary egg tart.

But according to news on local televisions, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said all possible causes of the outage were being investigated and sabotage was not being ruled out, but said trouble with transmission lines was the most likely reason for the problem

Imagine a country without an electric... chaos everywhere... traffic light off, all metro , tramway and high speed train service stop and cancel. Police officers were deployed to manage traffic at major junctions where traffic signals were disrupted. Firefighters were also called to rescue people stuck in elevators. 

Those chaos were outside of my house... meanwhile me, husband and kid stayed did nothing but played ball inside house with our kid. No baking activity for me (^,^).. We just made simple dinner until electric brought a big smile again in our face....
I never imagine in older time before electricity being invested by Thomas Alva Edison.... What people did to their live? (^,^)
Well...that was yesterday chaos in Turkey..
Today everything back to normal again... Alhamdulillah... and I can notice that my kid didn't affected by unavailable of TV or youtube kids video from our computer at home... So I happily I can say she doesn't addicted by TV or video or any gadget.

And for today's dinner I made this smoke paprika roasted chicken, I complete it also with roasted potato. You can use sweet potato too if you like.
