Pumpkin - Sweet!
Stir fried cabbage - Lovely with the chicken.
For the life of me... can't remember the name of this "ulam-style" vege, kacang empat segi, or tiga segi or something. Any clues?
Kunyit roast chicken - Marvellous! IL had been raving on about it, and her mum's masakan more then matched her comments. Deep in flavour, tender and so juicy.
Yes, city-slicker me had never seen... Kunyit!
Wikipedia describes Turmeric
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae which is native to tropical South Asia. It needs temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes, and re-seeded from some of those rhizomes in the following season.
It is also known as kunyit (Indonesian and Malay), Besar (Nepali) or haldi (Hindi) or pasupu in some Asian countries. In Assamese it is called Halodhi. In Hawaiì, it is called "`Olena." In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian Saffron, since it is widely used as an alternative to far more expensive saffron spice.
