You made it in the oven? Wow! Didn't know it was possible.

You'll be amazed the kind of meals you can make in an oven. I hardly ever fry anything anymore. Plus, i think your foods come out better.

Quinex2:
Looks yummy sis. A little thing to note: After dishing your food and before taking shots for upload, clean off those tiny food or oil that dropped on/around the dish/plate (you can do that using a clean finger or better still, serviette), it makes the presentation of the food appear neater and better. BTW, I've been following this thread quietly, finding it difficult to upload. How do I upload stuff here?

Thanks for the observation i do appreciate

If your picture file is bigger than 4mb you will find it difficult to upload, next time use an app to edit nd save or just screenshot the picture you wanted to upload.

Ariza:
See Plantain, See FooD

Ariza nd plantain are like 5 nd 6

Mariangeles:


Looks inviting.

Thanks

Hathor5:


Ever tried rice pudding? There is special rice that is cooked in sweetened milk. I think you would like it.

I have. And I like it. This one is very similar to that.

Ariza:
Fry it fast.


If only you know how far and how long I trekked my neighborhood today to get plantain, all to no avail. .

He pain me o. . So fry that fast and upload so I can get virtual satisfaction

Lol plantain is really expensive nd scarce nw
People don dey fry banana self because of scarcity of plantain I just dnt like fried banana that's why i usually try as much to get plantain at all cost!

pippimp:


Try it. It's easy. One batch of dough can last 2 months. Just store it in the freezer and de freeze anytime you need to make more. Every Saturday night for me is Fadeyi Oloro/pizza and beer night.

Will do. Will get Alfredo sauce when next I go shopping.

Dyt:


It's called sutlaç in Turkish
Very delicious something

I love Turkish cuisine. I think Turkish cuisine is my favorite.
Sultac is eaten in many places but I guess the recipes differ from place to place. I love to eat it warm when it is cold.

britiko:


Great! U should start thinking of taking ur creativity to the next level if that's ur passion. Check online courses on Udemy, Coursera, etc and you can make some money from what u love doing. Stay inspired and don't let anyone crush ur passion. Stay strong!

Thanks. I'll work on this.

I thought you left NL. It's good to have you back

I was told the same thing. Fry Banana? Never done that before oooo, I haven't seen it done around me either. Maybe I will try it someday, if I ever get to.

Hathor5:

Me neither. You can't beat the university of youtube. That's where i get the inspiration. I got so bored, i made shortbread, meat pie, cake, banana bread, agege bread, etc Crazy.

Petyprincess:

Ar iza nd plantain are like 5 nd 6

Don't mind me

Nice job! Well done! Bravo! Wonderful! What else? Beautiful!

How was the granola you made? Did you love it?

I mixed many things in it. I couldn't get rolled oat. The one I saw was damn too expensive..about 4,000 I guess. So I opted for quick oat. Things used were

Quick oat
Groundnut
Sesame seeds
Cumin seeds (this was a big mistake I regret so much). It spoiled the taste
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Honey
Raisins
Sesame oil
Date and coconut.

You inspired me to make this. It was nice but the cumin seeds spoilt the taste.
I will like to try again with rolled oat to see the difference though

Dyt:



Then you haven't been seeing my meals

I've seen people referred to your plantains as banana a couple of times, never really thought it was real BANANAS . I thought you just love them soft.

Lol.

So tell me Ma, does it taste exactly like plantains? Like how do you manage its softness? And the sugar level nko? Won't it be too sweet? I just want to know.

Well, your preference. Lol. You are plantain addict

As much as I love plantains, I suffer some consequences of taking too much, Adding fried banana will be a case of :

"Ikun n jogede, Ikun n redi.... . Lol

Please who can give me a tried and trusted fried rice recipe. The 2 times I made it they weren't really nice, and didn't have that unique 'fried-ricey' taste and colour. I want to make it on Saturday.

.. Dyt.. Those are the monikers I can mention off my head

I have different methods
It depends on the spirit working with me that minute

Method 1
perboil my rice
In another pot I have all the ingredients I wanna add to the fried rice
I fry with either butter or veg oil
Then I add the almost done rice
Stir and cover for a few mins to steam

Method 2
I add water and curry, maggi, salt and oil in a pot boiling
I wash my rice thoroughly
Then add to the water and cover with foil or nylon
While I fry my orisirisi
When the rice is done
I add the fried orisirisi
There you have the fried iresi

cococandy:


Your post revived a craving in me. I made this today.

Added raisins, cinnamon and macadamia nuts. I should make this more often

Looks good! You really should make it more often.

People have different ways of making fried rice.
My preferred ingredients for fried rice are:

Chicken
Vegetable oil
Onion
Garlic
Carrots
Green peppers
Green beans or peas
Spring onions
Sweet corn
Curry powder
Thyme
Bay leaves
Knorr seasoning...

My method of making fried rice is quite different from the usual because of the quantity of rice. It also absorbs more flavour this way.

First I parboil my rice, then I fry my onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, curry powder, seasoning cubes, then I add in my parboiled rice and stir until it absorbs the colour and the flavour.
Next I pour in my chicken stock and hot water to the rice. (The liquid should be a little above the rice)

While my rice is cooking, in a separate pan/pot, I fry all my chopped vegetables in a little oil.
When my rice is done, I add in the stir fried vegetables to it, stir, balance for seasoning and salt, then stir finally.

My fried rice is ready!

Yum. Yum. Thanks for the quick response.

Some questions:

1. Do you follow steps in adding in the veggies for frying. Like maybe a veggie comes first or last. Or do you just fry them all at once?

2. Then how long for frying the veggies?

3. About how much oil should be used for frying?

4. Am I to season the stir-fry veggies?

Looks Yummy! Thanks for the timely response.

Questions:

1. Why the use of foil/nylon and does it make a difference?

2. From method 1, is it that you don't season your perboiled rice?

Dinner is ready

Petyprincess:
Yay! Food is ready
Rice nd fried stew with roasted Titus fish nd fried plantain
Shugavee,mrnippleslover,pocohantas nd other foodlanders come nd join me o
Shugavee i will send yours through whatsapp

Princess, Maybe you should have dished out the stew/sauce seperately; coz i'll really embarass myself eating something this yummy with knife and fork.

The Meal looks quite delicious and perfect, wish i could have a "live/real" taste tho.

1. Because I don't use much water, the foil/nylon will help soften faster.

2. Nope, just the white rice (I am not a salt person too)
