Basmati rice with home made ghi

For ever in my house we have cooked rice like this, at my in laws I was parsed to have a well cooked  rice and the grains where seen.



1 cup rice basmati long grain 
2 cups boiling water 
1 tbsp home made ghi 
Salt to own taste 



Heat I pot up with 2 cups of water to boil,when ready  set aside 
 With another pot heat up 
Add 1 tbsp ghi 
Add the 1 cup rice , toast with ghi, 
Than add the 2 cups of boiling water 
Let it come to a boil and lower the heat 
When the water has dried the rice should be cooked, 
If it is but has a little left put the lid back on  turn the fire off and it will continue to cook with it's steam.

Them you serve it will be a rice that you can see all the grains not a mushi rice!

Home made prune jam with a hint of chilli!



So I was making a jam, when my mum was cleaning the fridge and said oh look we still have the red chillies! 

I took them from her and pulled all the seeds out and cleaned them well and just added them to the the jam! 


So here is the recipe and well it's grate the look the texture and the taste! 
 
So Ike so many jam recipes I see they add the apple or lemon for the preserve but as this jam is made of prunes and there is chillie there is no need!

12 pealed and chopped prunes fresh 
1cup sugar ( I used brown suger refined so the colour is light but if you use the dark one the colour will be darker!)
1 1/2 cup water boling 
3 small red fresh  chillies 

Blend all ingridents except the chillies 
 Get a non stich pan and add everything 
After it has come to a boil add the chillie 
Than lower the flame and let it get thick 
How you know when it's done? 
Well there is the way of putting some on a play and putting it the frizzer for a 1 min, that's  how you know how thick it Will be  cooled completely. 
Than there is well the eye that you know by looking
I think the best is to make it till when you turn the jam this thick like a grave than switch it off 
Add it to a sterilized glass jar 
If you add it when hot and close the lid after a while that is cooling you will here like a pop from the lid and you know it has sealed for long conservation.
The time is always different cause the ingridents change in every house the end results is the same.
This is the jam with the bread backed by me!

no bake halva cake

 i have vegan friends that say that cakes are hard to kind so i felt like i should invent something good for them and i thought i may not be a fantastic cook but i love cooking and i can never really follow recipes  but always end up making my own so get go and give it a try

i wanted to put the whole cake but they where so amassed at how good it looked and than  i was amased how fast that it finished, i had to get my i pod and make a pick or else no pic, i will make a video   soon cause it easer to understand but will take some time sorry guys thanks for looking at my posts


non stick pan 
200g semolina
70 g butter vegan us margarin
1/2 cup rasins 
3 cups hot water + 1/2 cup or up to you tast canella sugar 
3 tbsp cannella powder 
Coconut powder to sprinkle at end like icing effect

boil more water than needed  the water put the kettle on, put in a cup  or put and add the sugar and cannella powder  and keep aside ready

do not lower the heat
heat the pan
add the butter
when it melted half add the rasins
when the raising are swollen or golden you will understand when you see them
add the semolina, keep string till it has become golden brownish but remember keep stirring cause under it will cook and burn
add the water, you will see the the semolina is cooking fast and thick
it should look like a smooth past when it has reached a thick consistency
grease the tin shown in the pic sorry out of words how it is called, in italian it's called crostata tin

add the cooked semolina past and with a spatula greased of but or margarin squash in shape it has to be touching all the corners and flat if it think no worries

i did it all on eye measurements so i hope i am correct, if it's to much
you can make balls and roll them in coconut for bits or a thin tin to make cubes

it's healthy for kids and good enjoy
