Yogurt is not a regular item in my fridge. I usually bought it when I have a specific baking project in mind. I don't use it often, so when I hold it for the baking matter, it always ended up in Mr. Bin's tummy (I just forgot about it), after weeks at the back of the fridge. Ahem..this remind me of someone :P Bottom line, they don't last long, that's why I don't use them often.
Well, things changed a couple of weeks ago. I cooked lamb chop masala, and the recipe called for some yogurt, added at the last stage of cooking. The dish turned unbelievably tasty. Since then, I put yogurt in everything I cooked, curries, ayam masak merah, chicken masala..just to name a few...and yogurt just sealed the dish perfectly!
It was love at the first sight taste. Try add some yogurt inside your pancake batter, they'll turn out airy and fluffy. And if you happen to have a spicy or a over-salty dish, try add some yogurt, it works! I love the natural, plain yogurt the most and it has become my fav snack these few days. No, I'm not on diet.
The same goes to this meatball pilau rice, the addition of yogurt inside is just perfect- a mild hot dish. Love it! I think I'm gonna repeat it again for Ramadhan. And since I used a lot of yogurt nowadays, I think I'm gonna learn how to make them myself. Hmm..why not..wish me luck!

ReplyDeletei wonder why bila dah beli yogurt ker.. sour cream ker.. kita boleh terlupa pasal benda tu kat dalam fridge sampai lah dah nak ter expire hehe.. lain kali kan i will add yogurt in just abt anything that i cook... of cos masak soup tak leh lah letak yogurt hehehe
ReplyDeleteLooks great but its really hard to read the recipe when you display it like that
ReplyDeletewhat kind of ovenware are you using in your photo? It is a mini version? it looks very cute
ReplyDeleteI love yogurt. It's never too much for me.
ReplyDeleteYou should try making homemade yogurt. They taste good. Just do your research before hand. Wrong temperature or type of milk can ruin it. Otherwise, the recipe looks fairly easy.

T,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advanced 'warning' he he . I had to agree with you on that. After reading some yogurt 101, it make me a lil intimidate to embark the whole yogurt-making journey. It's a bit hard to find a warm, dry spot in my kitchen. I probably had to put it in the oven with the lowest temp. Still not sure about that yet.Hmmm.. I'll come up with a post. Thanks again. :)
Ehem RC..
