Every year in the month of Ramadan, the mosques in Malaysia prepare a porridge called BUBUR LAMBUK.
I have heard my friends say that it is very tasty.
Normally they add beef to the porridge.
This year I made a vegetarian version of it.
Everyone in my house enjoyed it.
VEGETARIAN BUBUR LAMBUK
Ingredients:
500 grms perfumed Siamese rice or Basmathi rice. Soaked for 15 minutes, and strained
90 grms small onions pounded
70 grms garlic crushed
30 grms ginger paste
1 tbs cumin seeds
1 tbs fenugreek seeds
1 tsp black pepper powder
6 green chillies chopped
200 grms carrot cubed
200 grms potato cubed
200 grms beans cut into ½ inch in length
200 grms cauliflower florets
3 tbs chopped mint leaves
3 tbs chopped coriander leaves
80 grms ghee
3 c.m cinnamon stick
3 star anise
5 cardamoms
1 litre of water
300 ml thick coconut milk
Salt to taste
Onion cripis
Method:
Boil or steam the carrots, potatoes, beans, and cauliflower. Keep aside.
Heat ghee in a pot, add in the cardamoms, aniseed and cinnamon stick.
Now add in the cumin and fenugreek seeds. Sauté well.
Add in the crushed onions, ginger and garlic. Stir well till the onion browns little.add in the green chillie and stir well again.
Now add in the strained rice and give it a good stir.
Add the 1 litre of water and allow it to cook slowly in a medium flame.
Check to see the consistency of the rice, add more water if needed.
Add in the salt, once the porridge is well cooked, add in the coconut milk. Keep stirring so that the porridge does not stick to the pot.
The rice must be well cooked,add in steamed vegetables, and pepper powder. Give a good stir.
Now add in the mint and coriander leaves, stir nicely.
Remove and serve hot garnish with the onion crisps.
Note: I made paruppu tuvayal to accompany the porridge.

Radna, or Ladna, according to my friend means
“pour on your face” That is cook the noodles and put them
On the plate, then make the gravy or soup and pour on the top.
I had a good laugh on the phone with her. Here is the recipe.
LADNA OR RADNA VEGETARIAN
Ingredients:
4 cups of fresh flat rice noodles (kueh teow)
1 tbs oil
1 tbs light soy sauce
5 pips of garlic smashed
1 tbs ginger paste
1 inion chopped fine
2 tsp Thai chillies minced (bird chillie)
1 kaffir lime leaf sliced very fine
2 tbs of Thai Basil leaves
½ cup mushrooms sliced
¼ cup carrots sliced
¼ cup broccoli florets
¼ cup cauliflower florets
1 bok choy cut or ¼ cup Napa cabbage sliced
1 cup of mushroom broth or vege stock
2 cups or little more water
Pepper to taste
2 or more tbs of light soy sauce
1 tbs of dark soy sauce
1 tbs vegetarian oyster sauce
1 tbs yellow bean sauce
Little sugar
1 tbs of corn flour
1 tbs oil for frying
Little thinly sliced scallions
Deep fried onion crisps
1 tofu fried and sliced
¼ fresh lime per serving.
Method:
Heat a non-stick pan with the 1 tbs of oil. Add the fresh noodles,
Add the 1 tbs of light soy sauce. stir to get every thing mixed.
Fry for a minute and remove to a container.
Next steam all the veges and keep aside
Heat oil in a wok, add in the crushed garlic and ginger paste.
Stir fry nicely. Add in the onions and fry till the onions are lightly browned. Add in the chillies, kaffir lime leaves and basil.
Sauté well, add in the water, mushroom broth, let it boil.
Add in all the sauces, sugar, pepper and salt if needed.
Once it has boiled well, mix the corn flour powder with little water
And add to the boiling soup. Keep stirring while you pour the flour.
Once the soup has thicken a bit, add in the steamed veges and remove.
Arrange the fried noodles on a plate, spoon the gravy over the noodles.
Garnish with the cut scallions, fried onion crisps, fried sliced tofu, cut lime and fresh cut red chillies. Serve hot.
NOTE: According to my friend, you can even stir fry the veges and add the soup ingredients in one go. She feels the veges will retain their colour if you steam and add.
Also the soup would be very tasty if you add prawns, crabs, calamari,
Fish sauce and things.
Add the sauces according to your taste
