Resep Bubur Candil / Indonesian glutinous balls sweet porridge

Please Scroll down for recipe in English 

Assalamu'alaikum semuanya...... Merhaba dari Turkey

Bubur candil adalah salah satu makanan tradisional Indonesia yang terbuat dari tepung ketan. Diolah secara sederhana dengan menambahkan air hangat lalu dibentuk bulat menyerupai kelereng dan dimasak dalam saus gula merah yang legit. Disajikan dengan santan kental yang gurih.

Walau rasanya manis dan legit, bubur candil ini tidak dikategorikan dessert atau pencuci mulut karena sifatnya yang mengenyangkan. Saya biasanya suka makan bubur ini di pagi hari sebagai sarapan ringan saja sebagai pengganti nasi. 


Di bulan puasa bubur candil (juga beberapa jenis bubur manis lainnya) sering dasajikan sebagai takjil* atau makanan pembuka di kala iftar/ buka puasa.

(*) Ta'jil berasal dari bahasa Arab yang bermakna menyegerakan berbuka (puasa), jadi tidak ada hubungannya dengan makanan. Tapi di Indonesia istilah ta'jil menjadi umum digunakan sebagai ungkapan makanan pembuka iftar/ buka puasa yang biasanya manis. Nabi Muhammad s.a.w telah memberi tauladan memakan buah kurma sebagai awal iftar.

Ramadhan tahun ini saya lagi pengen makan segala macem bubur manis khas Indonesia. Beberapa hari lalu saya bikin bubur ketan hitam yang sudah menjadi favorit mulai kecil, resepnya bisa dilihat di link ini.

Kali ini saya postingkan bubur candil yang penuh kenangan masa kecil juga. Biasanya saya beli bubur manis dan gurih dari penjual bubur khas Madura. Macem bubur Madura itu banyak banget, ada bubur sumsum, bubur ketan hitam, bubur srontol, mutiara dan bubur candil ini juga salah satunya.
Sukkaaa banget bubur candil ini karena rasanya legit dengan bola kenyal dari tepung ketan di dalamnya.

Bubur Ketam Hitam / Indonesian Black glutinous rice porridge in coconut sauce

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

We are welcoming Ramadhan this early June. It is so much full of joy and blessing that we still can meet Ramadhan again this year, Alhamdulillah (^,^)

If you were living in Indonesia, you will feel how Ramadhan atmosphere affects in almost any routine activities. Usually students have shorter time at school. Some offices (not all though) also change their working hour earlier so they can finish their work earlier as well so they can have iftar with family at home.

When it comes to the fasting month of Ramadhan, most of Indonesians can get more excited, I am talking about their appetite of food. The Moms at home prepare many meals more than they usually serve daily. We try to complete our iftar table start from ta'jil*, entree until dessert and even snacks. Things that we hardly ever do daily. (^,^)

*Ta'jil (read; taqjeel) is from Arabic language means to hasten the fast break. But lately now days often defined as food for breaking the fast. In Islam it is recommended before having meal to eat snack first, preferably something sweet like dates as exemplified by the prophet Muhammad SAW

When we are talking about ta'jil, today I am going to share "bubur ketan hitam" literally mean black glutinous porridge. In Indonesia, especially in Java island it’s known as Bubur Ketan Hitam. In places with thick Malay influences (such as Sumatra and small islands around it) this is called Bubur Pulut Hitam. Meanwhile in Bali island people calls it Bubur Injin. 

Just like making other porridge, black glutinous rice cooked in a lot of water (some people cook in thin coconut milk) until it tender and gets porridge consistency. Adding gula jawa / coconut palm sugar as sweetened  then serve with thick light savory coconut milk.

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 😍💛

If you are a peanut butter lover, you should love these cookies. It's my new fave! The texture is so perfect, it will melt in your mouth with a light sweetness. I use crunchy peanut butter with tiny chunks in it, so it even gives me an additional crunchy texture in every bite. 
If you can't find crunchy peanut butter you still can make this with smooth peanut butter.

And do you believe that I made these yummy cookies from leftover egg white which stays in my fridge for a while. Well... I'm kinda not in the mood making macarons lately, so I decide to use my leftover egg white for baking some cookies. After all, Eid-al Fitr will come in a couple of weeks and Eid-al Fitr is always celebrating with jars and jars of cookies in my house (^,^)

So..voallaa... this peanut butter cookies will be new comer among many other traditional cookies I mostly made every Eid-al Fitr.

#Baklava. Resep authentic yang mudah dan lezat, selezat oleh-oleh dari Turki.

For recipe in English, please visit this link

Salam hangat..... Merhaba dari Turki.

Sebelum scrool down kebawah buat intip resepnya, saya mau kasih tahu kalau postingan ini saya sertakan dalam Indonesian Food Blogger event challenge bulan Mei dengan thema "Middle East". Kalau kalian foodie dan suka masak juga, cepetan klik link nya disini buat baca ketentuan dan cara ikutannya. Ayo... ditunggu sampai akhir Mei ini lho (^,^)

I was so exciting dengan tema Idfb bulan ini sebab daily I cook Turkish food! Makanan dan kebudayaan Turki sangat kental dengan pengaruh Timur Tengah, terutama di daerah South east. Karena wilayah geografi Turki yang berbatasan dengan beberapa wilayah bekas Uni Soviyet (north east), Timur tengah (south east) dan Eropah (bagian barat), menjadikan Turki sebagai negara yang unik baik dari segi kebudayaan dan cuisine nya. Banyak sekali hal yang bisa digali dan diketahui dari negara asal suami saya ini.

Awalnya saya ingin menampilkan cuisine dari negara tetangga middle east yang lain yang juga sangat mendunia kelezatannya. I like Moroccan Lamb yang dimasak dalam tagine. Atau Chicken Mandi dari negara Yaman yang sudah saya bikin sebelumnya. Atau saya ingin sertakan Palestenian Musakhan, bahkan famous Hawawshi dari Mesir...ppffff.... 
Semua masakan middle east are rich! seperti kaya-nya masakan Nusantara kita. We should digging deeper to their history... so you'll find keanekaragaman makanan mereka.

Sedikit gambaran wilayah Turki yang "unik"

Tapi setelah memilah milih dan buka-buka file buat bikin apa, finally saya pilih ..taarrraaa.. Baklava! Why baklava?

Siapa yang nggak kenal Baklava? Kenalan dulu yuk buat yang belum pernah dengar ..... hehehe...😄  Sebab baklava ini termasuk dalam top famous dessert around the world lho. Baca link nya disini, disini dan disini juga. Jadi hampir semua orang sudah familiar, pernah mencicipi atau ingin mencicipi baklava ini. 
Oleh karena 'pesona' baklava yang sudah terkenal selevel Angelia Jolie.. (hahahaha...apa'an sih?!) maka saya pengen tampilkan baklava ini di even Idfb kali ini.

Definisi baklava sendiri adalah sejenis pastry manis yang terbuat dari berlapis lapis lembaran pastry phyllo yang tipis dengan taburan -umumnya walnut dan/ atau pistasio, hazelnut atau almond diantara beberapa lapisannya. Dan direndam dalam sirup gula yang kental atau madu. Ada juga jenis lain yang disiram susu (sütlü nuriye baklava).

Resep Donat kentang/ Potato Donuts recipe

Resep dalam bhs Indonesia ada di bagian bawah


Selam everybody.... Merhaba from Turkey.

This is actually very late post. I made this potato doughnuts last weekend, but since the pictures and recipe slipped somewhere in my computer, I just found it today and want to share it with you right away.

This potato doughnut is pretty familiar among Indonesian food bloggers. We use almost same source of recipe and method and we are all very much happy with the result. The doughnut it self keep fluffy and yummy even 2nd or sometimes 3rd days when you keep tightly in airtight container in fridge.

But I think no yummy yet fluffy doughnut can survive up to 2nd or 3rd day, right? The recipe I adapted totally from Ibu Fatmah Bahalwan (Natural Cooking Club owner).

You can just simply enjoy the doughnuts with icing sugar or any topping you like. Even you can flatten the dough and make your filling doughnut. So here the recipe.

Ikan Bakar Bali sambal matah / Balinese grilled fish with sambal matah

Selam eveybody.... Merhaba from Turkey......

Indonesian cuisine often demonstrates complex flavour,acquired from certain ingredients and bumbu spices mixture. Indonesian dishes have rich flavours; 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). Seven main Indonesian cooking methods are goreng (frying), bakar (roasting) or panggang (grilling), tumis (sautéing), sangrai (roasted), rebus (boiling) and kukus (steaming).

My post today is about indulge my craving of Indonesian food. It has been a while I didn't spoil my self with this best fave of mine ; Balinese grilled fish / Ikan Bakar khas Bali with sambal matah.

This grilled fish is commonly found when you were visit Bali. I think most of you already know where Bali island is. Sambal matah is Balinese style raw sambal. With sharp lemongrass and kaffir leaves flavor distinguish this sambal from other sambal types we have. And this sambal matah always serve with that full tropical flavors of Balinese grilled fish. Enjoy them with warm steamed rice, some raw vegetables salad, you'll get best Balinese grilled fish on the planet 😃

You can prepare the fish marinate 1st a night before if you plan having bbq/ grill time the next day. The fish should marinate in bumbu /spice at least 2 hours before the get best flavor mingle in fish meat. 
For fish I use local çipura/ çupra balık (gilt-head bream). You can sea bream or sea bass or snapper or yellow tail fish.

The best way to grill this fish is over charcoal-like my mom always does. Take your grilling stove outside and invite your neighbours with this fabulous fragrant of this Balinese grilled fish ^,^

Lokma /Turkish donuts in simple syrup

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

What I am going to share with you today is Lokma.

Lokma is a traditional Turkish dessert made of flour, sugar, yeast and salt bathed with syrup or honey. Lokma was first cooked by the sultan's cooks at Ottoman Empire palaces, and for centuries, it was unknown how it was made. After the 20th century, it became a tradition for Turks to cook and serve lokmas to neighbours.

This lokma is also can be found around neighbouring countries like in Greek called loukoumades. Or Zeppola of Italy and in Iran or Iraq, called luqmat al-qadi from Arabic language  لقمة القاضي

These luscious bites — the word lokma means “a bite” or “a morsel” — are the doughnuts of the Orient, crispy on the outside, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture on the inside. Served hot as they emerge bubbling from the pot, sprinkled with a dusting of pure cinnamon, they are also found in markets, more commonly in Izmir, the third largest city of the nation.
