Kuih Rose Recipe

kuih rosWarning: This will seriously impress even your mother-in-law!

Malaysian desserts or Kuih are normally very sweet! Kuih rose is kind of different as it is deep fried: most likely from the Indian cuisine.

But in the melting pot of all food in Malaysia, the origin is less important than the delicious taste!

Further on Kuih rose is quite addictive: better take out a few and put the rest away!

But best off all: you can make Kuih rose yourself and it’s quite easy. Surprise your family with this afternoon treat and a great cup of tea or coffee.

Kuih Rose Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 grated coconut add 375ml (12 3/4 fluid ounce) water, mix, then squeeze for coconut milk
  • 100g (3,5 ounce) castor sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten lightly
  • Oil for deep frying

Sift:

  • 125g (4 3/8 ounce) rice flour
  • 125g (4 3/8 ounce) plain flour

Kuih Rose Recipe Preparation

You will need a Kuih rose brass mould.

  1. Combine sugar and coconut milk. Use a handheld wire whisk to mix both ingredients until sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add in the egg and whisk till well blended.
  3. Strain the mixture through a wire mesh sieve.
  4. Stir in sifted flour and mix to form a smooth batter. If the batter is a bit thick, add a little more water until the consistency feels just right.
  5. Heat oil in a wok. Put in the brass mould to heat up. The mould has to be hot enough for batter to cling on it.
  6. When it becomes hot enough, remove the mould and dip into the batter. Make sure batter coats only the bottom and sides of mould.
  7. Place coated mould in hot oil. Shake to release from mould. If required, use wooden chopsticks to help releasing.
  8. Deep-fry the batter till it turns golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove the Kuih rose from the oil, then drain and leave to cool on absorbent kitchen paper.
  10. Store Kuih rose in airtight containers.

Win a culinary chef or £120 other prizes

During my Kos "vacation" I have been quite stingy with giving out Quick Dinner Recipes. Time to spice things up and to go back to basics like Jamie Oliver would say :-)

So the basics are putting back some quick dinner recipes online and in the process, getting more guest-chefs adding their delicious recipes.

In order to make some buzz and attract more visitors, I am joining a contest with free banner space advertisement as the head prize.

The site organizing this contest has lots of visitors because they cover a lot of topics from the latest gossip about Kristina Dimitrova and other celebrity women like Noelia, Tammy and Jennifer Garner.

On Tuesdays they offer a pets section and the rest of the week they tell you how to make money online with movies
from tamilnet or youtube, opensocial, sharepoint, myspace, or library 2.0.

Not to mention topics in different languages like ngentot or orkut. Nothing about cooking nor recipes unless Ron Paul changed his profession recently…

Each weekend they have a Blog of the Weekend, which is a great way to attract visitors to your site!

Whatever you cannot find on the blog, you will find in their Toplist directory.

Join TheSkinnyCook

Do you have Quick dinner recipes to share? Then leave a comment! Any other travel stories with or without recipes are also welcome in a comment!

Greece, Minah Rempit and Singapore Sluts

Here I am sitting in Kos reading about the hot news about the forests around Athens, hotter than hot Minah Rempit and still laughing about the hot and funny Singapore Sluts in my Sexy Singapore post of yesterday :-)

Hot news

What’s happening around Athens is hot like we don’t want it: forests are on fire, temperatures keep above 30 degrees and no rain expected, very sad news from Greece, although here in Kos all is ok, life as usual.

Sexy Singapore of course all decent, hot and civilized :-)

Neighbour Malaysia unfortunately again in the news and again for the wrong reasons. People have been protesting because of the so called provocative Gwen Stefani clothes, yet on the streets of Malaysia not only crazy boys are doing stunts on their motorbikes, they are joined with Minah Rempit: basically the girlfriends of the mat rempit who were fed up being traded amongst the boys just like the motorbikes were traded amongst the boys.

All this is sad but understandable in a country where education is poor, every child takes up an amazing amount of extra tutoring and last Sunday the online newspaper was saying that there was a crackdown on private tutoring… What is wrong with wanting education? :-(

Time to finish my Greek or Turkish coffee and head back to work …
