Thank you very much

hi stars
i tried making with such paste before.
either you didn't put enough oil in the pot to fry the onions or your pot was way too hot when you put the onions in. it needs rather a lot of oil to fry the onions.
Don't fry the onions till brown, they'll start to burn. just a while, then add the curry paste. add a little of the coconut water (NOT the milk). Fry till fragrant & u see the oil separating, then u add ur ingredients. if pot starts to dry or feel a little burnt, add more of the coconut water.
have always done it this way and never burn. u try again??
good luck

Hi Dolphin
Sorry, I don't have the recipe. I learnt from my mum and just did it the same way she's been doing all the while. But basically it's smtg like this :
1) Deep fry the pieces of potatoes slightly. This is to prevent them from breaking up so easily into small bits. Put aside.
2) Put generous amt of oil. Fry shallots. Add curry paste. Fry till oil separates. gradually add coconut water (as in the 'juice' that you get from the 2nd time you squeeze).
3) Add in chicken. Fry. Add coconut water whenever dry.
4) When chicken abt done, add potatoes. Cook for a while. Add coconut milk. Cook till chicken tender.

Hi stars,
1) When u first fry the paste, u'll notice tt it's just like a 'blob' (for want of a better word, sorry). As you fry & add the coconut water, u'll notice oil 'coming out' of the paste. Like how some chilli paste that u see wh has a layer of oil.
2) The packet one is coconut milk wh is put in at the end. Can buy the coconut water from market (ready packed). Not sure if can mix the milk with water to get coconut water....
3) No need to add water if add coconut water. It gives the fragrance.
4) Deep fry the potatoes. I usu cut one average size potato into 2 so tt it cooks easier.
Cannot boil the potato. It'll be too soft.
hope this helps

Hi ladies,
happened to come across this recipe. But I guess most of us will use those prepackage kind of curry powder.
CURRY POWDER
Preparation: 1 hour
Roasting: 15 minutes
Oven setting: 175C
Ingredients:
2½ kg coriander, washed in large buckets to get rid of sand
20g white peppercorns
300g poppy seeds, washed in a large strainer
300g cummin
150g aniseed
245g dried turmeric
40g fenugreek
40g star anise
20g cloves
20g cinnamon
22 cardamoms, shelled
2 pods nutmeg, shelled
1¼kg dried chillies, stems removed
Methods:
1. Wash each ingredient separately and dry in the sun for 2 – 3 days in large flat trays or bamboo baskets, turning spices occasionally to make sure ingredients are thoroughly dried.
2. When thoroughly dried, put coriander seeds and peppercorns together in baking trays and roast in the oven till fragrant, turning now and then while roasting, or roast in a dry pan over low heat, stirring all the time, till fragrant.
3. Lightly roast the rest of the spices except dried chillies.
4. Send all ingredients to the mill to be ground together to a fine powder. Spread out and cool before storing in airtight jars or bottles. Keep in a dark, cool place. The curry powder will keep well for a few months.

Hi cocoa,
Here is the chocolate mousse that I have with me.
Chocolate Mousse
Serves 6
½ cup caster sugar
¼ cup water
100g dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon dark rum or strong brewed coffee
3 egg whites
250ml frozen ready-whipped topping, thawed
Extra frozen ready-whipped topping, fresh raspberries and chopped walnuts for decoration
Methods:
1. For the sugar syrup, in a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup of sugar and water. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
2. Add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the rum. Pour into a large bowl. Set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form, using an electric mixer set on high speed. Gradually whisk the remaining sugar until stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
4. Whisk one-quarter of beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites, then the ready-whipped topping.
5. Pour mousse into dessert dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours to set. Decorate with additional ready-whipped topping, fresh raspberries and walnuts.
Prepare in advance: You can made this up to 1 day ahead but do not decorate until just before serving.

How do i get the effect of evenly browned fried fish? My fish always turned out to have certain parts crisp and nicely browned, certain part slightly blackened, certain parts not cripy at all.
To have those nasi lemak styly fried fish, i would definitely need a deep fryer right? If not, i would need to put lots of oil?
Hubby always complain my fried fish don't look nice. Any recipes for chilli or belachan stuffed fish?

Hi curly & enya
I tried one of those Thai Green Curry ready-mix pkt before. Cant rber the brand...Asian Gourmet or smtg like that. I only recog the pkt when i see it (will chk the s'mart later if i can & let y all know).
very easy. just follow instructions. turned out exactly like what you'll get fr any Thai eating place.
it's very difficult to find aubergines, so we just use long beans.

hi moonflower
U didn't say if u fry the whole fish or like a slice or fillet. I usu fry sliced or fillet & can get it relatively evenly brown. Don't know if it's the right way or any other easier way, but just to share :
I wash the fish, pat it dry with paper kitchen towel, sprinkle salt, let it settle for a while, wash the salt off, pat dry again. Heat pan, put oil. Even if u use non-stick pan, must put quite a bit. let one side of the fish fry till slightly brown before turning. Fire mustn't be too strong, o'wise won't get the even brown look.
Since I only use sliced or fillet, I just use the belachan paste to marinade it. no need to add salt. then just fry like above. Fire definitely can't be too strong, or the belachan will burn & the fish not cooked yet.
Not an expert, just sharing how I do things. Hope it works for u all as well

Hi Cocoa, i meant whole fish. Don't you coat the fish in flour before you fry the fish? Like that, will the fish be crispy? Also, if you wash away the salt, will the fish be salty enough?
Hi moonflower
my mum fries whole fish, like seabass or garoupa. she puts a very light cornflour coating only. then fry it slowly. usu the fish is crispy.
u can leave the salt, but i wash it away cos i prefer the natural sweetness of the fish, so i dun like it to be too salty.
but if u intend to leave the salt, make sure u hv enuf oil in the pan, o'wise it tends to stick, and when u try to flip it, the skin will stick.

Will you take the mixed veg directly from frige? Will the veg(esp. bean) not cooked when only add in with the rice(cooking time not that long)? thks...
<FONT COLOR="0000ff">pk,</FONT>

Hi Luckybird,
I take the mixed vege directly from the freezer, wash them and once the rice is in the 'keep warm' mode, I will pour the mixed vege into the rice cooker and mix. Then will close the lid and keep warm for another 5 to 10 mins before transfering to the wok. The beans should be cooked by then.

Hi Moonflower,
My FH taught me the trick to frying fish so the skin won't stick, his grandma taught him.
Contrary to what a lot of people say, you must ensure that the oil in the wok/frying pan is v. hot. It msut be smoking, you will see swirls of smoke coming up. Then, you put your fish it. You allow it to cook all the way thru and then flip the fish. Another thing is that you must make sure you have enuff oil as well.
