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

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!
