Hot buttered Plum Pudding ( Rachel Allen Recipe)




Now this is such an easy recipe you can do it with your eyes closed ( well almost). Its a recipe I found in Rachel Allen's Easy meals. Perfect little treat to eat when breaking your fast. The plums ooze some of their juices into the bread and it gives a yummy taste. Little bits of sugar  gives a little texture. Just double the recipe for more servings and use a larger tray or dish.


Recipe :  Hot Buttered Plum Pudding recipe, recipe from Rachel Allen's Easy Meals . 

Serves 4 or 2

4 slices of  square sandwich bread, crusts removed ( can be slightly old bread)
butter or margerine
2 tbsp castor sugar ( grind regular sugar in a spice grinder if you dont have any )
3  ripe plums

Preheat oven to about 180- 200 degree celcius, you want t moderately hot oven, if too hot the toast will burn.
Take a  square , dish or use a baking tray if you dont have one.

Butter one side of the bread and lay the bread slices , buttered side down on the baking dish.


Halve the plums, remove the stone  and slice .

Lay the slices on the   bread slices, sprinkle the sugar on top. ( its ok if you dont grind the sugar if you have the fine sugar or castor sugar)

I had slightly under plums but they turned out delicious after baking

 Pop in the oven ( middle shelf) and bake 10- 15 minutes, just dont burn the bread!!. The plums should soften and the sugar should be starting to caramelize.  Cool and serve!!! yummmm.

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
