ROTI PRATA!!!!!!


Self made chicken curry

Unable to flip the dough like an ah nei cos I am not professional..haha.. but i manage to roll the dough as thin as possible :)


The dough is actually easy to make, the only thing is have to let the dough rest for 5hours. Whoever is interested can refer to the below for the dough recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 Cups flour • 5 tbsp Melted ghee or margarine • 3 - 6 tbsp Vegetable oil • 1 Cup warm milk • 1 tsp Salt

How to make Roti Prata:

• Sift the flour and salt into a big bowl, add ghee and stir till mixture looks crumbly. • Slowly pour in the milk and mix properly. • Knead the dough without adding extra flour till it pulls away from the bowl and forms a soft ball. • Continue kneading till the dough is slightly sticky, for about 10 minutes. • Cut the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball, flatten it slightly and massage it with ghee. • Put the flattened balls on a tray and cover it with a wet cloth. • Let the dough rest for about 5 hours. • Now evenly oil a rolling pan and work surface with ghee. • Roll out each ball and extend it into a paper-thin circle, about 9 inches in diameter. • Heat a skillet on medium flame and grease it with 1 tsp each of a vegetable oil and ghee. • Fry the roti gently for about 2 minutes till the bottom is properly browned. • When the bottom is golden brown and speckled and the roti is puffy, take out it and drain on a paper towel.

New gadget - Bissell multi surface steamer

Decided that it's time to do something to deep clean the carpet.

Normal vacuuming is not able to get rid of the dirt trap deep in the carpet thus after reading from the web it is advisable to get a steamer to do deep cleaning at least once a month.

$79.90 Bissell Multi Surface Quick Steamer from Amazon (no tax)... the cheapest and economical we can find.

Easy Set-up :) Not only can deep clean carpet works on hard floor as well.

Look at the colour of the water that was suck out from the carpet... Not only it was clean after steaming, it also leaves the carpet smelling great : ) should have got it earlier.
