Adding a pumpkin to a dinner rolls will produce a bread that is slightly sweet and wonderfully rich.  So I looked for a recipe on the net, decided to bake the pumpkin rolls  from  scratch.  I halved the recipe and omitted the spices except  added only  ground cinnamon.

Pumpkin Dinner Rolls taste  amazing but incredibly sticky. Make sure you add a bit more flour if needed. For best result either steam or bake the pumpkin if you're making your own puree.

EASY PULL-APART BREAD



You might be familiar with pull-apart bread made with refrigerated biscuit but how about using hot dog or dinner rolls for this recipe? The whole idea about this happens when I'd few packages of hot dog rolls untouched for a few days in my pantry.

It is incredibly easy and cost effective, made with love. Just watch it disappears quickly right after your eyes!.

RAVA DOSA

Rava Dosa Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

This is a quick and easy dosa (South Indian crepe) done without grinding and fermentation. It uses semolina, rice flour and all purpose flour with addition of green chili, ginger and cumin.

The consistency of the batter must be watery, it is easily spreadable once your pour onto the pan. Normally I did not flip my dosa since it is so thin.. Make sure you stir up the batter before preparing to ensure even consistency. It should have holes if not add more water to make it very thin batter.

GHEE RICE

ghee rice recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

Most common rice dish during a festive occasion or just a normal family gathering. There are so many ways to prepare this delectable and aromatic rice. Some done without adding the evaporated milk but I have tried both, preferred the ones with milk, gives an extra flavor to the rice.

If using basmati rice, soak them for 15  minutes before proceeding. You can cook this rice using stove top, rice cooker or pressure cooker. For cooking on stove top, do use lowest heat after the water has been absorbed by the rice to avoid getting burnt. Best eaten with spicy gravy.

These are great as an appetizer, afternoon snack with tea or a side dish with dinner.

250g  shredded zucchini squeeze the juice out
1/2 C rice flour
4 green chili chopped
1 onion  chopped
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp ginger minced
1/4 C  chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste
plain flour for coating
zucchini juice/water

METHOD

Squeeze out the water from the shredded zucchini, keep aside.

In a mixing bowl. combine zucchini, rice flour, green chili, cumin seed, ginger, coriander leaves and salt.

Sprinkle with zucchini juice if it is too dry. Shape into patties then coat with flour.

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan using medium heat,  slide in the cutlets and fry until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.

CHAR KWAY TEOW

Noodle Recipe  @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

Char Kway Teow is a famous hawker food found in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore. It is made from flat rice noodle, stir fried with light and dark soy sauce.

During olden days, char kway teow is labelled as "unhealthy" due to its high saturated fat content mainly to serve the labourer as their cheap source of energy and nutrients. As this dish has become increasingly popular, the latest version of this noodle is much healthier, free from lard but using cooking oil and more vegetables. You can add almost anything from seafood, meat or chicken to them.

SPICY FRESH PASTA W/TOMATO

Never made pasta from scratch, pretty curious how pasta is made. After searching the net for the recipe, I had chosen this Eggless Pasta by Allrecipes with addition of olive oil. It is simple but the hardest part is shaping them without pasta machine. Anyway, managed to get it done. Used a combination of all purpose flour and semolina flour for the dough.

Drying your fresh pasta is the perfect way to preserve it for later use, ensure the pasta is dry enough that it does not stick together when placed in an airtight container. Properly drying your pasta will avoid a sticky pasta disaster, you can hang them on your cabinet door lined with towel or place them on lined  baking sheet.

Sadly unable to snap any photo showing the process since my camera battery went flat but have a look at the dough after 10 minutes of  kneading below. Though not perfectly shaped but it is quite delicious after adding spices and vegetables.
