The Chicken Curry and Masjid India

Assalamualaikum and gud day.

Chicken Curry and Masjid India seems to be connected to each other but in this case, it is not. First let us talk about Masjid India. Last Saturday 29 Septermber, I accompany Mohd Attirillah to meet his old-school friends and don't ask me why I would like to follow him (long story back then). And then we went to Kuala Lumpur using LRT and we stopped at Masjid Jamek station where we have our Asar prayer at Masjid Jamek. It is an old-design masjid where the main prayer room is quite small with lots of column to support the main kubah and roof. The main room is divided into 2 for woman prayer room and man prayer room. At the outside, there would be common prayer room for man (since woman would take hidden place for changing..aurat2 ^^), where the column is about 6-8m apart from each other (Common design for column). After we have our Asar's prayer, we go and meet Attirillah's friend that awaits us at Masjid India(there you go, Masjid India come up at last). After meeting and talking and walking (pancit tahap 15, that's why I don't like shopping very much, yet I love outside activities because it has a reason to do).

Back to our story here, time passed by and the clock shows 645pm. It is nearly 'bebuke pose' so since all places were full by 615pm, we have no choice to have a small scale berbuke pose. We bought 2 pau (1 ayam & 1 kacang) and 2 sengkuang drinks and headed to Masjid India. Yet, the outside area are so full with people and we had no choice but going inside. We originally though that we just want to sit down and have our foods but after we sat, people inside the hall are giving their foods to us. It is an honour since they thought us as a family and not as an outsiders. We are really gratefull to Allah since we have a bubur lambuk and bandung made specially from Masjid India. After that, we went back to keramat (Attirillah's house for internship purposes) and have proper dinner there.

This story is not stop there. It has a second part which is Chicken Curry for Sunday 30 September. I decided to make a chicken curry for Sunday's buke pose since it is sort of one of my favourite dishes. So i told my friends and there we go to Carrefour to buy the ingridients listed below

• 1 Chicken - whole
• 1 Kelapa (Santan)
• 2 packets of Curry - Adabi
• 1 packet of Cili Boh - Cili Kering pon bole, but we dun have blender nor lesung batu
• 1 inch of Halia
• 2 pieces of Bawang Putih
• 6 pieces of Bawang Merah
• 1 packets of Rempah Ratus - namedly Kayu Manis and Bunga Cengkih
• 1 spoon of Salt and Sugar
• 2 pieces of Potatoes - if you want to
  

1. First, clean the chicken (remove the skins and also fats - klo rajin).
2. Then, blend Bawang with Salt (please do put salt at this stage. ^^)
3. After you have 'goreng' Curry, add it into the bawang mix
4. Then, 'campak'kan this mixture into pot with oils in there
5. After you smell something good from the pan, 'campak'kan rempah + ayam
6. Then, kacau hingga sebati
7. After a sometimes, (tunggu sehingga air campuran ayam + curry become lesser), 'campak'kan santan + sugar
8. Then, put the potatoes and wait until it boiled out.

Siapla ye puan2 dan tuan2 sekalian, Kari Ayam Campak2 Sudeyh kita pada hari ini. Kita campak dan kita berdoa agar Allah will help us to ensure that this kari ayam sedap. Amin.

*After the show, time to breakfast. And from our critics aka Attirillah, Khairul Ariffin, Uzair, Helmi, Safrizal,Mazhar Azrin, Affendi, and Faisal, they all said "terbaekh la Pa'an kari ayam ni".

You might say that you don't want to believe but it is your call and not mine. (Pictures are not available right now, I would post it afterwards) Hihu. Somehow, I really proud of myself for completing the very first Chicken Curry all by myself (Don't have a chance to really do it at home cause my mother would take control of everything) and at the same, I had achieve one of target during this internship aka to sharpen my cooking skills (bole a skit2 setakat nk kasi org makan..)

See you, Assalamualaikum.
