Jamur goreng krispi /Crunchy fried mushrooms

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

Have you try this snack?
I remember had this snack few years ago. At that time in Indonesia, this fried mushrooms was one of favorite street snack. Even there were many franchises selling this booming snack everywhere. Big mall, school, campus, market, street stall..... 

Well, basically Indonesian like street food so much..seriously! If you visit Indonesia you will easily finding street vendors selling anything almost everywhere... and they are mostly open 24 hours!

And if there's new food on street and people like it, it will easily booming and spread so fast like virus...hahahha.. including this fried mushrooms. People are like addicted to eat it, that's why fried mushrooms' vendors spread so fast like mushrooms in rain season :)

There are many variant of mushrooms they sell, like oyster mushrooms, champignon mushrooms until enoki muhsrooms.

And today... suddenly I miss to eat that snack again.. and more I want to give other snack variant to my kid... so happy she loves it and ask again and again...

So here my recipe if you wanna try it also at home...

Almost halfway of this blessing Ramadhan.... Full of blessing because this summer generally Turkey area are like spring. Usually summertime temperature so high and the air is somehow dry. Even though weather forecasts predict temperature will increase slowly start next week but again... this lovely Friday Bursa is wet and fresh again... ^,^
May Allah always gives easiness for you who are doing Ramadhan fasting. And May Allah forgive our sins and accept our deeds in this holy month.

Talking about Ramadhan and fasting... I always remember the Ramadhan atmosphere in Indonesia especially in my mom's house. She always prepared Iftar table for us, full of homy meals and "takjil". "takjil" is something sweet that we eat/ drink once the adzan echoed. It's  mostly a light thing to eat/ drink-almost like dessert- before we eat the main dish... 
How I miss my hometown now.....

And here in Turkey we have a little things different than I had in my homeland but generally Ramadhan is the most joyful that we always waiting for each year.

Our today's dessert after iftar is Damla Sakızlı Fırın Sütlaç (Turkish Rice Pudding with mastic gum). The recipe I take from "Şeker bank tatlı kitab" with minor adjustment. The addition of  mastic gum in this recipe gives slightly chewy texture. But you can also try my other recipe without using mastic gum here.

Cherry Galette


Merhaba From Turkiye.... Selam.

Cherry is in season..... yes, I love cherry...the fruit I never ate before in my homeland... I don't know... was there cherry tree some where I didn't know or really there was not one. But cherry is very hard to find in Indonesia, except cherry in can/ preserved.
That's why I really enjoy eating them fresh or make them something. 

Yesterday there were two Indonesian students visited us.. So happy to see them because I didn't meet them for a quite long time due to their exam before summer holiday. So touching also cause they came to farewell to me and family before they spend summer holiday in Indonesia... They are both good and nice girls.. I miss them already...

They brought us a bag of sweet cherry that I like...thank you girls! so I'm thinking to make a nice yet crunchy dessert for our iftar.... so voalla.. I got this idea.. Cherry galette...
With sweet delish cherry filling meet with slightly savory flaky crust... what could be delight than that? Oh. yeah.. with warm love of family...

For the dough, I use smitten kitchen's flaky pie recipe. Besides it's using all butter in the recipe (no shortening required) also the crust is so nice with the flaky crunchy result. I just love it.

Melon and Chia soda drink with Cocopandan syrup(Es Melon dan selasih)

Selam everbody.... Merhaba from Turkiye...

Until Ramadhan day 6 the weather still so friendly here... Even tonight when I post this Melon Chia soda drink.. Rain pouring soft on and off..it's just so peaceful. 

This Melon chia drink I made for our iftar today. In summer like this we can find melon easily and the price these days is so cheap.

The chia .... Hmmm.. I love chia. In Asia mostly we mix it in our cold beverages. The texture is so unique and if you search for more... it has many benefits.

Strawberry and Chocolate hand pie

Assalamu'alaikum....... Merhaba from Turkey..

It's late post.... actually I made this few days ago but since early Ramadhan day 1 I've been busy with things around the house. And like many other time in Ramadhan I have a little less sleep. And thanks God this Ramadhan in summer time the weather is so friendly... so many rain... air is so fresh with bit of windy sometimes... It's really helpful to keep my energy still fresh during day light.

Today's post is simply easy strawberry with chocolate hand pie. It's so simple, quick, easy yet double yummy. Serve it with vanilla ice cream or simple whipped cream will be more delish. But I serve it with Kaymak, it's a creamy dairy product similar to clotted cream, made from the milk of water buffalos, cows, sheep, or goats
Mostly recipe I googling around is directly put fresh strawberry over the pastry dough but as my own experiences with fresh fruity pie, it will end up with wet and messy looking pie. Yes.. some people okay with that.. But this time I want my pie looks pretty as I bought from patisserie (*_*)... So I bake my strawberry before filling it to the dough. The result is so nice and yummy in taste yet pretty good looking hand pie...

HOMEMADE Ramazan Pidesi (Ramadhan pide recipe)| Çitra's Home Diary. #ramazanpidesi #turkishpide #flattbread #pidebread #homadepide #homadebread #rotikhasturki

Marhaban ya Ramadhan.... 
Ramazanimiz Mubarek Olsun...... Wishing you and family blessed and joyful Ramadhan.... May Allah accept all your prayers in this holy month.

In Turkey, the atmosphere welcoming Ramadhan is so warm and makes me feel a bit missing my homeland. Everywhere people say "Hayirli Ramazanlar" to each other as selam. I can feel that everyone rejoice to welcome this grace month......

And there is one bread which only found in Ramadhan month.... it's Ramazan pidesi (Ramadhan pide bread). Every public baker (halk fırını) or market sell this pide only in Ramadhan. It's slightly leavened flatbread with egg glaze and sprinkles with black and white sesame seeds. This pide is slightly more expensive compared to normal daily bread.

Here my recipe for you who want to make it at home. the method is the same as when you make bread, just you flatten it and glaze with egg yolk.... it's so fluffy and yummy to try...

make 2 medium pide bread.

Tahu Acar (Tofu Salad) / Indonesian tofu salad

Selam everybody... Merhaba from Turkey...

I am so joyful and grateful because Ramadhan will soon start in these few days.... 
Ramadhan is the 9th month in Islamic calendar. The most important and sacred month to all Muslims and a month when we must "fast" during the hours of daylight which is part of our 5 pillars of IslamThe Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad during this month. The actual night that the Qur'an was revealed is a night known as Lailut ul-Qadr ('The Night of Power').

Ramadhan is so important for me and family. And since this 2015 Ramadhan month is on summer time, we must prepare our self so well due to in summer time we will "fast" about 16 hours during daylight. So healthiness and good stamina are become our priority....

Beside keeping our health... preparing Ramadhan menu is also preoccupation for me and for mostly Muslim moms .... We usually already have at least 30 kind of meals, 30 kinds of dessert and 30 kind of beverages for whole ramadhan month in our mind or written on sticky paper on fridge's door :)

Well... maybe next time I will share my Ramadhan menu also here... :)

And maybe my today post also can be an idea for your Ramadhan menu .... :)
