Tiger Mike's Tandoori Chicken Marinade

Frens,

Giving you another option to cook your own tandoori chicken or lamb. When you buy tandoori chicken from a Mamak shop, you'll see that the chopper is usually dirty and badly maintained. One pack of Maggi tandoori mix (10g) is RM 2.50 for 400g of chicken. You might as well make your own powder. With a bit of yogurt and shallots, you are ready to marinate the chook, and you are sure of contaminant-free ingredients. Please see attachment.
Best of luck.

INGREDIENTS FOR TANDOORI POWDER

1 tsp garlic powder or crushed garlic

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cloves powder

½ tsp grated nutmeg

1 tsp mace powder

11/2 tbsp cumin powder

2 tbsp coriander powder

1 tsp fenugreek powder

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1 tsp white pepper

1 tsp cardamom powder

11/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp mango powder

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp red cili powder

1 tsp mint powder

Tiger Ah Kooi's Chicken By Tiger Mike

Tigers,

I am naming this recipe Tiger Ah Kooi's Chicken coz he does NOT eat beef, lamb and goat meat ( mutton actually means lamb from an old sheep which have given birth many times, and thus is hard meat to eat). However, he eats chicken, pork and humans (My advice is don't eat a female soldier and leave your false teeth behind, she may not be able to stand to attention at master parade the next morning!!)

Please see and read the attachment.

Ingredients.

1 tsp cumin powder (jintan puti or chou kok or natchirgam)
5 candle nuts (buah keras or sek kor chye or sathikai)
1 cm turmeric (kunyit or wong keong or kungumaphu)
1 lemon grass
1 tbsp flour
salt to taste

Method
Clean the chicken, and careful not to tear the skin. Knock the serai. Beat up the flour with a little water. Blender onions, garlic, cilli, candle nuts and turmeric until fine.Mix with aniseed and cumin. Mix the whole ingredients with the santan.

Flatten the chicken according to the attachment. Rub the santan mixture under the skin of the chicken carefully. Put some santan on the skin. Place chicken on a grill or BBQ or in the oven for 45 minutes. keep basting it every 15 minutes with the santan mixture.

Chop very finely the following:
bunga kantan,
serai,
coriander roots,
shallots,

udang kering,
daun kaduk (optional),
zest of lime,
daun limau perut,
Thai fish sauce and crushed ground nuts.

Mix everything thoroughly with the mee hoon, and press lime juice into the mixture. Spread chopped coriander leaves on it and serve. I don't use cili padi but Mae Pranom shrimp flavoured crushed cili - careful, velly hot!!

Tiger Mike's Nasi Lemak

Dear SY,
Here's the way to cook nasi lemak my style:

600g of rice. ( Don't use Basmati. Use any long grain rice. The best is to use Baram-Bario rice which you can easily buy in Miri from the Orang Ulu in front of the Supermarket or in front of Mega Hotel. Keep your Baram-Bario rice in your fridge veg compt. It gets bugs easily)
450g grated coconut for santan.( It does not matter if you have a bit more)
4 helai daun pandan.Tie into knots. (Cheen loi yip)
2 cm ginger, sliced thinly.
3 gloves garlic, sliced finely.
1 tsp sea salt.
1 piece cinnamon (mook kwei pei)
3 Bunga cengkis (teng heong)

Method.

* Wash the rice and drain well.
* Put rice, coconut milk and other ingredients into a pot or electric rice cooker and cook until all liquid is absorbed.
* Loosen rice grain and test for doneness.
* Add a little water if the rice is not well cooked. Close the pot tightly until rice is fluffy.

Here is the Teipin style:
When the rice is half cooked, wrap banana leaf between the rice and the side of the pot carefully with daun pandan after stirring the rice.Pour in in some left-over santan, place some torn-up daun pandan and cover with banana leaf. Close the lid and let it fully cook.When you wish to serve the rice, scissor small circles of banana leaf. Fry some dried udang in garlic chips and veg oil. You get the best dried udang from Labuan at the Ferry Point, they are large and very well engineered.They come from Southern Philippines and cheap as nothing.
Use a Chinese small rice bowl, place the fried prawn first and then the daun pisang circle, shiny side down, and then the rice for serving.

Now For the Accompaniments
My girls are impatient when I cook for them. The worst part is I normally have a bottle of Chateau Lafitte in me and singing discordantly, pretending to be the top tenor in the Klang Valley, " Con Te Partiro". OCPD muka masam. So I do my shortcuts, ma!!
1. Buy Brahim's Kuah Sambal Tumis. Add Si Hum and cook. Get peeled si hum, wash and drown in brine and wash b4 cooking.
2. Buy and use Tean's Gourmet Chicken Curry Paste and cook your chicken. Use only skinned drumsticks and marinate in Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade - Honey & Soy. Place in Glad Zip slide reclosable storage plastic bags ( 30 cm X 30 cm ). Keep in the fridge overnight.

What about Kiddies?
You Teipin super girls can eat hot food. Liz Tan is a good example. Take a separate bowl of chicken curry, scrape 1 in of cooking chocolate and 1 tbsp of tomato puree plus a little of gula batu.or a bit of wong thong. Reheat and stir softly. Mum will be the greatest in the whole of East Borneo.
Sy, good luck from Pak Naser.

Tiger Mike's Crab In A Carriage (Santola No Carro)

Nic,


In Portugal spider crabs are more generally used than the edible (common) crab popular in S'pore & Malaysia. Spider crabs have beautiful shells and the "carriage" of the title refers to the shell, in which the mixture is traditionally served (rameskin dishes can be used instead).

* 1-2 tsp French mustard
* Cilli sauce
* salt
* fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs


METHOD


Twist off the legs and claws from the crab shells, crack open and remove the meat. Remove the white and brown meat from the shells and discard the grey sac and feathery gills. Flake the meat and mix with lemon juice.


Preheat the grill to moderate.


Fry the onion in the oil until softened.Stir in the crab meat, thyme and parsley and remove from the heat. Stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, cilli sauce and salt to taste; the consistency shud be soft.

Tiger Mike's Miang Kham

Dear Nic,

Happy to see that you are always keen and curious about food. Miang Kham is a must Thai hors d'oeuvre and is automatically served when you dine in a Thai Restaurant. I have not met a Malaysian who dislikes it. It interfaces well with drinks - beers or a dry white wine. Please read attached.

The Thai will never use lettuce leaves but daun kaduk which you can get in the morning markets in S'pore.

The Thais serve the stuff in a special plate on a rotating wooden plate and beautiful ceramics. Will send picture after this. I think you can procure it in S'pore. Mine came from Thailand.

 

Dear Sham,

I'll bring the Bt. Tinggi aromatic ginger. Use young limau nipis, udang kering kecil and cili padi and not cili merah. For the kerisik use kelapa parut muda. Jude will have no trouble making the sauce, if not Cha Cha Mike will do. Please as usual, remember portion control.
