Butter milk with nestum! Another one of my specialty!

Chicken breast or fillet

Prawns

• Fresh prawns ( any size from medium onwards) or chicken breast/fillet, dory fish/fillet basically any meat and mushrooms or vegetables will do.
• Minced garlic ( the more the better, the finer the better ) but i know some of you lazy to do it.
• 3 stems of curry leaves and cili padi cut into small pieces ( red or green or both ).
• Seasoning flour or corn flour
• Butter or magerine
• Eggs
• Evaporated milk ( any brands )
• Nestle Honey Nestum ( taste better ) my secret ingredient.
• Salt and fine sugar
• Cucumbers or tomatoes or lettuce
• Cooking oil for frying

1. Clean the meat or prawns and make sure to shake off the extra water if not the flour mixture will not stick properly to the meat or prawns.
2. Cut the vegetables ( Cucumbers or tomatoes or lettuce or all ) into slices for decoration but the main objective is to prevent sore throat after eating fried stuff!
3. Crack an egg into a bowl hit it until yellowish and put the flour into a plate or pan.
4. Heat up the cooking oil enough for deep fry. (deep fry = able to fry the whole meat).
5. Now before putting the meat into the oil, dip the meat into the egg first make sure its all over then next dip to the flour also make sure cover evenly. You can do it one by one and put it aside then fry all at once. Usually prawns will take about 10 minutes and meat will take 15 minutes depend on the heat.
6. Once is golden brown you can take out and put in into an oil filter or a plate with thick tissue. You have to remove the cooking oil as much as possible because later it will look very oily when cooking with butter.
7. After the deep frying, now u can start heating up the butter with low fire. About 5 big spoon of butter should be enough if serving for 4 person.
8. When the butter fully melted, add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and curry leaves stir fry until the curry leaves aroma comes out. Make sure the heat is low if not the garlic will overcook!
9. Now add the fried meat and cilipadi ( it depends how spicy you like usually i put about 4 cilipadi ) Stir and mix the butter cream evenly.
10. After that this is the hardest part, add the evaporated milk little by little, keep mixing while adding ( this need alot of practice to perfect ) make sure just enough to cover all.
11. Right after the evaporated milk, you have to start adding nestle honey nestum. Still have to keep on stiring. ( Add more if you like the butter crumbs ). After adding stir for another 1 minute. Always make sure the heat is low!
12. Now to get the perfect taste, turn off the heat i repeat turn off the heat or fire and start adding the fine sugar little by little and keep mixing, after adding try the butter crumbs. If just sweet enough you can stop adding but make sure is evenly.
13. Put into a nice plate and decorate it with the vegetables. Ready to serve.

• Not an easy dish because i've gone through few trial and errors to perfect it! So hope my recipe can give you some good advice and happy cooking...

• Grade A Eggs bigger the better.
• Tomatoes or cherry tomatoes cut into slices.
• Hotdogs ( you can try any kinds like black pepper, cheese, smoked etc.)
• Chedder cheese ( easy and cheap to get ). there is one damn good chedder cheese called Ballantyne chedder cheese. Check out cool ingredients.
• Soya sauce, black pepper, italian seasoning ( can replace with basil leaves ) and worcester sauce ( Lee & Perrins )
• Sunflower seed cooking oil.

1. Cook the hotdogs first, you can fry it but i usually just heat it at a non-stick pan without oil. Later cut it into desire shapes and put aside.
2. Heat up the cooking oil about 4 tablespoons.
3. Crack the egg and let it flow naturally to form a round shape.
4. Add tomatoes and hotdogs.
5. Add some black pepper and italian seasoning.

Seasoned fried grey oyster mushroom.

• 200g grey oyster mushrooms.
• Any all purpose seasoning flour or corn flour.
• Any cooking oil. ( groundnut oil )

1. Wash the grey oyster mushrooms and dry all the water.
2. Make sure the mushrooms are really dry before you mix it with the flour. You can use any seasoning flour for different taste everytime you cook this meal.( I prefer corn flour, you can taste the natural taste of the mushrooms )
3. Pour the flour into a bowl, dip the few mushrooms into the flour and apply it evenly.( the more thicker the flour on the mushroom, the more crispy it gets)
4. Heat up the cooking oil (enough to cover the whole mushrooms) with medium heat later turn it down to low before you fry the mushrooms.
5. Slowly and carefully while putting the mushrooms. recommended to use the long chopstick for frying. Overturn the mushrooms from time to time.
6. Deep fried until turn browish and leave it to cool off before eating.
