Halaqah Pertama Fall 2012

Bismillah,

Alhamdulillah, after a long summer "break", we finally had our first halaqah last week. The previous 2 years were awesome, we combined the halaqah with the guys under the supervision of our "parents" here, kak esfa and hazrul. When they're gone, I decided not to continue having the combined halaqah due to some conservative reasons (some people say so). Tak kisah lah, matlamat masih tidak menghalalkan cara juga kan? Even though the group is now smaller, but akhawat rasa lagi best begini, tak perlu cover2 sebab biasanya ada ikhwah dalam halaqah sekali kan?? rasa free to speak out to give opinions and ask questions, especially when the topic is about women's personal care/hygiene. Semoga dengan ilmu-ilmu yang dikongsi dapat dimanfaatkan bersama sekaligus dapat buat investment untuk akhirah ; among the three continuous deeds written in the hadith - ilmu yang bermanfaat. Yeah, kami kuat, walau dah tak ada "orang tua" in Tucson, insyaAllah berbekalkan nasihat and ilmu-ilmu mereka, kami mampu mengharungi hidup yang penuh dugaan dan mengekalkan biah solehah ini, ameen! 

Before I ended this post, I am pleased to share another recipe yang sangat instant. I usually will have meeting with the geodesist research scientist and professors on Friday until 4 pm (kalau tak habis juga, cabut lari je lah) then balik dah agak lewat, so apa nak hidang for my beloved sahabat2 during our halaqah/study circle? Anything on the fridge!

Ayam padprik "segera"

ready in 30 minutes - tanpa bergossip2 dengan jiran or rumet

By saying segera means the cooking duration is less than one hour cause I usually take a longer time than that!

You'll need:

Chicken breast - not a hurdle within this limited time

Thai chillies - depending on the spicy level

Lemon grass

Onions and garlic - minced

daun limau

lime juice

oyster sauce

corn starch

potatoes

carrots

sawi

chicken stock - home made, no cube stock ok, please take good care of your brain, refrain from taking too much food w/ msg.

Saute the minced onions, garlic, lemon grass, thai chillies and carrots. Agak-agak dah wangi, masukkan chicken breast (potong ikut suka hati). Add chicken stock (rebus je tulang ayam and kulit ayam) and oyster sauce. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, then add in carrots, lime juice and daun limau. Add some more salt kalau oyster sauce tak cukup masin. Next is the corn starch, just to make the sauce more delicate. Last but not least, masukkan sawi and siapa ada tomatoes dan fried onions boleh lah juga. Ready to serve, senang kan? orang bujang macam ni lah, semua kena segera, masa sangat berharga tahu?! 

Selamat mencuba!
