Step 3

Then smash all smash-able fruits while keeping on the stove under low flame.

once it's done stir well and mix all the ingredients until its well cooperated.

Step 6

Then pour this to a glass jar and add 9 cardamom, 6 cloves, 1 inch cinnamon, juice of 2 big oranges and 1.5 tsp vanilla essence.

Home made Cordon bleu with cheesy croutons

Ayubowan Food Lovers,

Boyy I have a lot of spice i kept to share with you through out the week. Finally its weekend and i have time to spice you up... :)

Back to the topic... My sweetheart made the below to impress me and it was really good for a person who generally doesn't cook. :D Check it out. oh i must tell you all that these cheesy croutons were sooooooooooooooo yummy that i could eat two whole plates of croutons.. :)

Cordon bleu with cheesy croutons

Hats off to Ashan for making this Dish. :)

The cheesy croutons were simply made rebaking in garlic ginger butter and topping with cheese and pepper. yummyyyyy.... A 10 out of 10

The chicken breasts were slice in to thin layers and seasoned with paprika, salt etc and  rolled with a cheese and a ham layer. it was crumb coated and fried and then baked. this is bit over cooked and slightly dry without any sauce. But it tasted quite nice for a 1st time cordon bleu maker. This chicken was kept on ice cabbage. A 6out of 10

 And last but not the least he have done some boiled veggies with some potato chips. seasoned perfectly with a small crunchiness. easy 8 out of 10.

If Ashan could make this, am pretty sure you all can make this better.. hi hi hi.... If you are reading this, "am just kidding Ash :D "

oh by the way he made another version of it for my sister since she does not eat chicken. The chicken was replaced by a creamy omelet.

Well then i will be off for the week.... Have an amazing  week all... May GBU.... xox

Home made Egg hoppers - Sri Lankan pan cakes

Ayubowan Food Lovers,

Hope you all are doing great.. So once again am here with some new spicy experiences i went through.

Well i made egg hoppers and got some really good comments along with some advices to make more variations of hoppers. This is a lot similar to pan cakes apart from the shape. Have you ever eaten a hopper??? Well if you have not you should try tasting or making to enjoy the magical taste in it.

oh by the way dont worry if your 1st attempt does not come out well cause this will need some practice to get some cool looking and tasty hoppers ;D

EGG HOPPERS

Ingredients for normal hoppers

250g rice flour
1tsp yeast
175ml Thick coconut milk
175ml coconut water or luke warm water
1tsp salt
2tsp sugar

Fresh coconut milk is the ideal but if you can not find this you can use canned coconut milk or powdered coconut milk as well.

1st step - add the flour and the yeast to a bowl and add quarter of the luke warm water and quarter of the coconut milk to it. give it a good mix and make sure that it is well cooperated without any lumps. Let it rest for about 6hours. (if you are using rapid rise yeast you will need only 2hours or less)

2nd step - Then add the remaining milk, water, salt and sugar. Mix well and make a thick batter. Leave this for another 30 -45minutes depending on your room temperature.

3rd step - Heat your hopper pan (look below image) and add a tiny bit of oil. once the oil is heated remove the oil out of it and reduce the heat.

4th step - Add a bit of the batter and swirl it around the pan and close the lid letting it cook. remove it once light brown.

* If you want to make egg hoppers, follow till step 4 and quickly add an egg to the middle of the pan just after swirling the batter. Spice it with a bit of pepper and salt.

5th step - Eat it warm and share it with your loved once and also the once you are angry with to get the best results :D add a bit of spice to their lives.

Soooooo what do you think?? You going to try this out?? :) oh and if you need the recipes to make Honey hoppers, sugar hoppers, chilli hoppers, milk hoppers etc buzz me off .. i will be glad to share them with you.

GBU all... xox
