Me Featuring Martha's "Apple Pie"

I actually extremely worried when I am reading, watching, hearing and writing about Baking, somewhat I feel tremendously pretty fortunate if I have an opportunity to do baking. I am certainly trying to convince my self to take it easy and confidence when suddenly my self facing one cutie mini portable oven in our place at now.

Thought of many questions were plot, what should I do? Where do I start from? What possibly make the thing works with my limited baking skill? Trust me, those questions have been highlighted of my true unconfident and self-doubting.

Making it sense as I have never wanted to missed the thing off since I do not have my own to do baking or whatever cooking through the oven. As we stay here running by visa as living in foreign land (India) consequently most of the rental flat here, oven is excluded sitting in the kitchen.



Well, at the moment I am quite fortunate having absolutely great couple of months staying at the place where oven is presented on hand. (Read issue here)
Frankly it’s worth a lot for me to do kind of easy and simple baking in intend adjusting my self of learning and being not too panic even engraved off to so many crap questions earlier.

One of these day I felt terribly up-set when I craved at least kind of delightful savoury apple pie with tempting crush and aromatic lip-smacking filling, unfortunately I have got none here at this rainy season, what a pitiful …
Challenged my self whether I dare to make my own or just forgetting and let my self drooling over my imaginations. I forced my self! But not being super women even being shocking bakers, let me say exactly, ”I encouraged my self not to worry about”, anything could be possible, everything got a clue!

I was pretty much happy when I have got on line recipe HERE
I think it shouldn’t be difficult as the recipe tells and compose in very clear sharp however direct to the point fairly.
Knowing that my skill too shallow doing kind of pro-baking but at least I have tried my own.

This is my first trial of making apple pie, even though I have to convert the ingredients and transformed the filling to more uncomplicated way.
I was being too much anxiety about the crust as I have no clue what the right crust in a proper way.


Putting forward of letting down my self it’s not in my proposed though I was ready to get some pain even end up within dissatisfied or dump the thing off into the dust bin-I am however really dislike! Running on and off--up and down between my screen and my kitchen it was quite fun though! Placing the thing into anyhow foil tin doesn’t mean I treated it so bad, being honest of self assuming that it may giving me kind of dissatisfied return then I am ready to off.
The fact, it was surprisingly awesome for a beginner’s, I was however awesome!! Yay…**winking


I would say that it was paid off! I deserve better of my apple pie, I deserve delicious apple pie!
I know, I know…it sounds my self applause and praise my own home made apple pie, additionally it sounds I incredibly prove you that I dare to bake even in a very simple issue
(I am very confident this time!) **wink

I wish you are with me now my friend, so perhaps I don’t need to attach the photos of my apple pie with lip-smacking crush.

Anyway, do the photos speak more than the words? May be could even describe?

Chicken Madness!

The idea of this recipe was crop-up when I am totally insane of messing up all the sauces, spices and such. I was very much ignorant what should be packed at least at the same box or whatever container for me to get easy to find out and search. I am sure you’ll know when we’ve got to shift to a new flat, we have got to pack in such a way of an extremely tidy to avoid massive stresses and tension.
I am however more to secure set for now (at the moment) of all my treasure cooking ingredients but of course after I putting my self in deliberately confusion and frustrating

Well I’ve got to stick to my Chicken Madness recipe as a subject than being irritated narrator for you, ha!

It"s actually made of unfussy ingredients alias in very basic spices as I said so, I was very pissed off when I could not find where my bunch of spices been bundled. Here I dare to publish as my issue since the taste was down to earth-delicious, but please don’t get me wrong the fact honestly my self not to confident how to transfers to a pro-recipe with attached of an exact quantity and dimensions.

I do believe in you **to all who fully interpreting home cooking recipe--especially to whom has reading my issue from the starts, but if you don’t, please do take the risk in your pocket or may you ignore this recipe *wink.

I’ll guide you step by step fairly and getting through slowly of the faultless point, don’t worry it is death-easy recipe.

Chicken

My suggestions is Chicken breast, essentially it’s indulge!
For delightful presentations it’s advisable.
Partially in favour of terrific fun of picking up the chicken bones, may possibly treated.
My self be partial to, it’s entertaining and relieved jaws stiffness

Chilies

Dried red chili soak in water to soften, seeded.
Along with it I engaged our savours to an allurement blaze of bird eye chili just to get sting of their fierceness.
Quantities? Dried red chili uses more than bird eye chili, let me say it’s actually depending on how much chicken being used.

Note: Do not make too spicy as your chicken madness in context going to turn up in actual fact wild and insane!

Onions

Shallots (bawang merah) give you tastiest payoff at the end, red onions could be just fine substitute instead.
Quantities? Plenty

Garlic

If you’ve got an allergic to it, pay no heed to. Ignore!
As for enhancing the flavour adding just 3 or 4 cloves in every whole breast chicken it is not a big sins though *wink


Tomato

Adding 1 or 2 tomato-diced in every pattern of recipe should be perfect!
Keep in mind, this recipe is not typical of gravies so do not ruins by adding to much tomato in it.
I added one tomato to every pattern, it was giving an excellent return of my required




I believe in you! 110% ! You have had take on board of the earthy ingredients and thought of useful side dish of the day.

So on…let me strolls you to the ultimate final.

Marinating in 60 seconds

Segment the chicken breast into medium size it’s the way you should do at first, marinating them with squish of half lime and salt, let it rest in 60 seconds, only!
"Do not being too excited yet or even have a sip of your drink as you have to prepare a pan and heats up with little amount of oil".
Shallow fry those beggars, until both sides are just nice crisp
(read: not too crispy)
Once they have finished outreach a fancy crisp, remove from the pan and set aside.

**You are still in hectic zone!

This is the best sort-cut which have been suggested for, while you waiting for the beggars getting a demand crisp, may you would do a little exercise right bellow

Pounding! in the traditional way

Am I too much confident since I’ve own clay mortar and wooden pestle made from Thailand? Of course I am!
Since this was a gift of my sweet friend “M” and she brought it across the country by bubbles-wrapped them, of course I wont make her in a such rubbish disappointment by not using it at all.

Sorry! I feel my self too much nagging, he he…

Anyway, this is the special key of chicken madness by pounding the spices away to a roughly form. Be careful of your eyes as may splatter around.
Cobek may used too as it is kind of traditional grinding utensils.

Dine with me!

In a saucepan heat the oil and shirrs the pounded spices over medium heats until fragrant and then add diced tomatoes, season with salt and sugar as you desire.

When the tomatoes are dissolved, it is the time to add in crisp chicken, stir briskly to blend the chicken and the madness spices *wink

Well, at last I don’t need to tell you that you need to remove from the pan and serve! Do I?

Table for two, you and me…don’t missed the nasi panas (hot steam rice)

I hope you were having fun with me of getting through the recipe step by step, as I really had no idea how to deliver the recipe according to my experience and writing in such ideal way.
