Nyonya Curry Mee (Malaysia's Cuisine)

Salam n hello.. my sweet friends!! Today is another guest post by my sweetest new friend,  Shazzy.  I met her few days back on blogger and she is from Malaysia. She is such a sweet champ <3 Her humbleness has really impressed me. She as a great passion for cooking and have a wonderful blog. She is currently blogging on He chops She Cooks.  As u knw I rarely try recipes out of my cuisine, I asked her for her traditional recipe- to which she agreed  :) Thanx a lot Shazzy!! Am soo happy to have a recipe of urs on my blog :) Lets see what Shazzy has to say to us <3

Chicken Zinger burger (KFC style)

Before I entered the world of cooking I always wondered how people at KFC made such crunchy & crispy yet tender Zinger burger. This delicious burger always caught my eye. So one fine evening, I thought of giving it a try. It turned out soo great and yummy that i could not stop licking my fingers..... it was actually "finger lickin' good". A must try recipe for all fast food lovers.. This recipe is adapted from FKF. Following are step by step instructions:

Singaporean Rice/ Casserole

There are many things in life which are illogical and doesn't relate to anything. One such thing is Singaporean rice :P Although, no such thing as Singaporean rice exist in Singapore itself, but still its called Singaporean rice in Pakistan lol :P

Classic Lasagna

Typical lavish & tempting Lasagna,  is a traditional dish, filled with minced meat, white sauce & loads of cheese, that appeals to people of every age. It is simply outstanding & marvelous.

Lasagnae are a large, flat pasta like & perhaps one of the oldest types of pasta. They originated in Italy. The word also refers to a dish prepared with numerous layers of lasagnae sheets alternated with sauces & a variety of other ingredients.

Lasagna has been my cold weather favorite recipe! Ah! Home made lasagna. Can anything else be better than this? yumm... Its scrumptious layers of cheesy goodness always warm me up in cold rainy nights!! This dish is simple enough to impress ur family and of course friends in any party. Lasagna sheets piled huge, towering & layered full cheese to go along with the perfect mingle of meaty & zesty & ketchup/tomato pasta sauce. 

Chicken bread

While visiting a bakery, I used to wonder looking at the chicken bread, that how could these braided, beautiful, shiny & fluffy chicken breads have been made. Chicken bread is a bakery item and it can be baked at home easily :) No need to run to an expensive bakery for it. Guess what even first try was PERFECT!! =) I made it with my sis in law :) Most of the baking items on my blog are my adventures which I have done with her lol :P

Chicken bread is basically a chicken braided & stuffed bread. Best to be served as a snack for evening tea. It basically has two steps. Making the dough for the bread & its filling. Best to be filled with chicken. But filling can be varied acc to ur taste. Brushing egg white on the braided chicken bread loaf gives it a shinny inviting look & can be topped with sesame seeds. (I didn't have it lol ). Recipe adapted from Nim's Kitchen.

Here is its easy recipe :)

Spicy Cumin Chicken (Zeera Chicken)

I have discussed different ways of cooking chicken from which some of the most loved ones are 

Chicken Shashlik with Sauce and Mughlai chicken. Today I am going to discuss with u another variety that is, Cumin (Zeera chicken). Bit astonished? What kinda way it is to cook. Don't worry, same way I felt when I heard first about it. But believe me it comes out to be really tasty! U must try it :) The spicy zeera chicken brings in it the unique traditional flavor. The pieces of chicken cooked in cumin seeds & yogurt goes so well :)

And here u go with the spicy, aromatic & flavorful Cumin chicken recipe, with finger licking results :)
