Halva is a common dessert in Turkiye and many Middle Eastern countries. There are many varieties of halva in many different countries.

Flour halva (un helvası) and semolina halva (irmik helvası) are common in Turkish cuisine. Basic ingredients are flour (for un helvası) and semolina (for irmik helvası). Cooked with butter, oil, sugar, milk, and cream.

These flour and semolina halva varieties are popular in the Middle East and Asia.

In some old books and documentaries, halva was made in houses during Ottoman time and distributed among friends and neighbors. Especially on the first day of the 3 important months in the Islamic calendar (Hijri Recep, Shaban, Ramadan), homemade halva is made and placed in small bowls and distributed to every neighbor.

In Turkiye, as tradition and customs halva (helva) is served on some special occasions such as births, circumcisions, weddings, and religious gatherings.  And when someone leaves or returns from Hajj(pilgrimage) and during Ramadan.

When a person has a new house or school graduation, and other important days they want to celebrate.

Not only that, but halva is also to be served at funerals or when someone is dead.

Besides bread, rice and bulgur are staples here in Turkiye. And this fluffy and fragrant turmeric rice is a fabulous way to add color and flavor to bland white rice. 

This turmeric rice reminds me of Indonesian "nasi kuning". The differences are some herbs and coconut milk that we don't use for this turmeric rice. Also, Indonesian nasi kuning uses glutinous rice mixed with long grain rice.

So this turmeric rice is simple version of that nasi kuning but still has great fluffiness and aromatic.

Maybe some of you already knew that most Asians cook rice using a rice cooker (Indonesian call it "magic jar"). Yes, since rice is a staple in Asian cuisine, we all have that rice cooker that helps us provide quick and easy fluffy rice every day.

Another way to have fluffy rice is using a steaming pot, this is a very old and traditional way, and some people still do it, especially in a very big batch.

Indonesian cuisine is one of the richest culinary traditions in the world and is full of intense flavors. The richness of its cuisine is a reflection of the diversity of cultures and traditions of the archipelago, which consists of about 6,000 inhabited islands, and plays an important role in Indonesian national culture in general. Almost all Indonesian dishes are rich in spices derived from spices such as candlenut, chili, temu kunci or fingerroot, galangal, ginger, kencur or kaempferia galanga, turmeric, coconut, and gula jawa or coconut/ palm sugar.

Just like what I am going to share today, it calls "Karedok". It is very similar to gado-gado, except all the vegetables are raw, while most gado-gado vegetables are boiled
Karedok is a raw vegetable salad in peanut sauce from Sundanese region, West Java, Indonesia. It is one of the Sundanese signature dishes. It traditionally includes long beans, cucumbers, bean sprouts, cabbage, Indonesian basil or lemon basil (Ind: kemangi), and small green eggplant, covered in peanut sauce dressing.

What is "cilok"?

Cilok (from Sundanese language), is an Indonesian ball-shaped dumpling made from aci (tapioca starch). 

It's a Sundanese snack originating from West Java, Indonesia. 

In Sundanese language, cilok is an abbreviation of aci dicolok or "poked tapioca", since the tapioca balls are poked with lidi  (skewer made from the midrib of the coconut palm frond).

Cilok balls are boiled until cooked or deep fried in ample cooking oil and might be served with peanut sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal, or chili sauce.

The texture of cilok is quite chewy, its shape and texture are quite similar to Japanese dango, although almost all cilok variants are savory compared to sweet dango.

Cilok is a popular street snack, usually sold by traveling vendors using carts or bicycles frequenting residential areas, marketplace, busy street-side, or stationed in front of a school. The chewy tapioca balls with savory peanut sauce are a popular snack among Indonesian school children

Dumpling wrapper, wonton wrapper, or shumai (siomay) wrapper was something I could easily get anywhere when I was in Indonesia. So making any kind of dumpling was never difficult at that time.

But since I live here, those things are so fancy to get. Sometimes I must go to the biggest supermarket to find it and mostly can't find it. Once I got that dumpling wrapper ( in the frozen food section), it wasn't like I wanted it.

That is why I started to make my own dumpling wrapper at home. Actually, I already posted one recipe before

Who's a banana cake lover here?

Me! 🖐

But I love the one which is light, fluffy yet moist. Yep... this is the kind of banana cake I have always craving of.

My post today is so easy, so moist and so fail-proof banana cake. And the bonus (?) it's steamed!

Yes, I love steamed cake. When you steam the cake you will get more flavor from the ingredients you use. So imagine when you steam a banana cake, you will get purer, more fragrant, and more flavor of the banana compares to when you bake it.

Just like what I am going to share today. It's our favorite chicken in sweet chili sauce. I serve it with pasta and simple salad as a side dish.

It's actually my copycat version from one of the franchise restaurants here in Turkey. We love to go to that restaurant every weekend. The restaurant special serve fettuccine with any kinds of protein starting from salmon, beef, chicken, or turkey, serve with mix salad.

One of their menu which I love to order is "sweet chili soslu tavuk" or chicken in sweet chili sauce (picture below).

Marhaban ya Ramadhan....

Welcome the holy month of Ramadan...

Ramazanimiz Mubarek Olsun.....

Wishing you and your family a blessed and joyful Ramadhan. 

May Allah accept all your prayers and worship in this holy month.

Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. A commemoration of Muhammad's first revelation., the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.

Fasting from dawn to sunset is fard (obligatory) for all adult Muslims who are not acutely or chronically ill, traveling, elderly, breastfeeding, diabetic, or menstruating. The predawn meal is referred to as suhur, and the nightly feast that breaks the fast is called iftar. Although fatwas have been issued declaring that Muslims who live in regions with midnight sun or polar night should follow the timetable of Mecca, it is common practice to follow the timetable of the closest country where night can be distinguished from the day.

The spiritual rewards (thawab) of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan. Accordingly, Muslims refrain not only from food and drink, but also from tobacco products, sexual relations, and sinful behavior, devoting themselves instead to salat (prayer) and recitation of the Quran.

One typical Turkish homey dish. The baharat or spices added may vary from each person and region. But the key ingredient is the same; tomato paste.

Here I use lamb meat cut into chunks, you can skip it for the vegetarian version and add the chickpeas portion a bit.

For pre-cooked chickpeas, I soaked dried chickpeas the night before then boiled them until it tenders. You can ship this step if you use a parboiled canned one.

Making this is quite easy and only needs 1 pot!

You also can use your slow-cooker for making this everyone's favorite.

Paça Çorbası / Turkish Cuisine; Lamb foot (trotter) soup. Authentic recipe with video

Paça means foot (or trotter) in Turkish language, çorba means soup. So paça çorbası is a hearty soup made from lamb or cow foot (trotter).

This kind of soup is generally served at the local restaurant here as "kelle paça çorbası" made from head and foot lamb/ cow. The queue in "kelle paça çorba" restaurant would be pretty long, especially in wintertime. 

Foot/ trotters soup is believed to contain many nutrients, especially minerals derived from the trotter's tissues. This may make trotters a useful nutritional supplement for us.

In Turkish cuisine, our kasap usta (butcher master) tried to produce and use as much as they can from the animal part. No wonder we can find any kind of offals, head, trotter, tail, or tongue. And all already in very clean sold in a special butcher shop calls "Sakatatcı", the butcher shop only sell offals.

You can check my recipes using "offals" in the category Offal here.

Like other Turkish families, breakfast and bread are something in my house that inseparable 😊. We enjoy bread breakfast until dinner.

We always eat bread at our breakfast time. Yes, I have also one or two jars of cereal, but those only for "very" emergency use 😄 . Even my kid is not a fan of breakfast with cereal.

Besides bread, pastry, bagels, or soft bread (we call it poğaça) are also served at breakfast time. And if you visit Turkiye and you go to a local restaurant (or hotel restaurant) for breakfast, you will find traditional Turkish breakfast. Which you can find anything... I mean everything! They will serve start from bread to pastries (any kind of pastries), menemen, fried egg in Turkish " sucuk" (Turkish spicy sausage), many kinds of jams, and more. And of course, breakfast in Turkiye is not complete without a hot Turkish tea 😊

I will make another post about this Turkish-style breakfast in another post.
