Today we had a family lunch to celebrate together Eid Al Adha. I did my normal fish curry which Babu taught to me to do and I am kind of an expert on producing it now! (Cheh!)Have to lah as the family are all curry lovers! Usu brought over Briyani Ayam and Soleha did Rendang daging and Kelupis. I also fried some crabs with curry powder and curry leaves, tried to do bhindi masala only for it to be rejected as the bhindi was too hard!!Obviously sudah tua!
Babu came along also and brought some lontong and sayur lodeh with the usual condiments. Pipi brought stir fried vegetables and in addition to this Yati insisted on frying some fish for the little ones which was very much welcomed by Yayah and Hariz! We had Poppadums as well. For desert I made Apple crumble which we ate with the vanilla ice cream Pipi brought along and also I had made banana cake as I always have frozen mashed bananas in the freezer for such an occaision!
Ofcourse during times like this I miss my parents who would have insisted that more dishes be cooked and a takbir be done before eating! and ofcourse I miss my Amin who would have insisted doing the apple crumble his way! Crumbles are so easy to do and I have provided the recipe below for those who want an easy desert.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha!
