I packed back the remaining curry gravy from our previous night's dinner at the restaurant. The curry was too good to be wasted. First, I boiled the pineapple chunks in some water and later added in the few pieces of chicken breast meat. Once the pineapple chunks have released its natural sweetness and the chicken meat is cooked, I added in the curry gravy and let it simmer for a few minutes. The taste and consistency of the curry turned out just nice. It was a slightly sweet, sourish, spicy dish and appetizing dish.
Dinner Day #1
Scoop out half the portion for dinner and kept the remaining portion for next day's dinner.
There were 5 small pieces of roti prata or roti canai in a packet (Kraft brand).
I have tried 2 other brands and I bought this Kraft brand on my 3rd try. After frying over low heat, the roti canai turned out crispy on the outside, nice and chewy on the inside.
We had 2 pieces of roti canai each for dinner and I will heat up the remaining piece for my next day's lunch.
Our friend gave me 2 big guavas which I cut and pickled with salted plum. I gave one tub back to the friend, one tub to my neighbour and one tub for myself.

Dinner Day #2
I heated up the remaining portion of curry.
The curry still looks good and tasted just as good.
Our friend gave me 2 bunches of paku pakis (edible fern shoots) which I used to cook with dried prawns, sambal belacan and coconut milk. I packed and sent half the portion back to our friend who doesn't cook.
3 simple dishes for dinner on a cool, rainy evening.
We had steamed rice to go with the above dishes.
My neighbour used to buy bananas for us. There was twice that the bananas took a very long time to ripen and most were not edible. I think the farmer harvested the bananas too early. In the end I had to used to bananas as compost.
The latest I received from her was this bunch of bananas which ripens within a few days. Some of these bananas have seeds and some without seeds. I am curious and wondered whether I can use the seeds to grow banana plants. Maybe I should collect some of the seeds to germinate and wait to see if they sprout.
The above light and fluffy sponge cakes were given by our neighbour.
Sponge cakes and hot coffee go well together.

So what brands of roti did you try and which is the winner?
ReplyDeleteI had a colleague who ventured into banana-farming. The first harvest he distributed to us but turned out the green bananas just turned black without ripening.
Out of the 3 brands, I prefer Kraft brand. An ex-colleague harvested her first bunch of bananas and gave me a comb but it turned black without ripening too. She harvested it too early.
DeletePineapple chicken curry and roti...what a mouthwatering and appetizing meal! Love that edible fern shoots stirfry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteI prefer my curry to be spicier and saltier. But I do not mind pineapple in it as well.
ReplyDeleteIt only has oomph when the curry is spicy enough.
DeleteEverything looks so good! Too bad about the bananas that were harvested too soon. I would try the seed idea, I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteI have already sowed the seeds and hopefully it will grow into seedlings.
DeleteAnother wonderful feast. I love sponge cake too and it does go well with coffee.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee for hosting.
Delete...the roti canai looks good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
Delete" Sponge cakes and hot coffee go well together " I totally agree with you Nancy. Why don't you bring a couple and come to visit and I'll make the coffee. LOL.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
I would love to but our borders are closed.
DeleteThose fern shoots look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteHello Nancy, So yummy! Everything looks delicious, I love curry, and would have saved the curry sauce just as you did. I like the look of the sponge cake too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Breathtaking.
DeleteYou have such good friends and neighbors...that is how life is supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thank you, Rose.
DeleteYummy food as always! Here in the Pacific Northwest bananas ripen too fast- I have learned not to buy more than we can eat in a few days- otherwise I am "forced" to make banana coconut lemon bread! Your piece from the bible is so true- especially not trying to get into the good graces of "important" people. I'd rather mingle and enjoy folks like me- and you! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe. These days, I will buy half a comb of bananas just for 2 of us. At least the fruit seller is willing to cut the big comb into half.
DeleteLove the curry because pineapples in curry just taste great! Good that you made full use of the curry gravy and didn't waste it. Thumbs up! The roti canai, out of the 3 brands you tried, which one would u recommend?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. I personally prefer the Kraft brand.
DeleteThanks for your sharing Nancy 😊
ReplyDeleteMost welcome.
DeleteI hope you have success with the banana seeds. The sponge cakes look good, and coffee is always good.

ReplyDeleteLooks yum!! Let us know if the seeds sprout, I'm quite intrigued :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!
Thank you, Betty for hosting. Still no sign of seedlings yet.
DeleteI have not tried pineapples in curry before, must be very appetizing too as it is slightly sourish. Yums!
ReplyDeleteMust try. I love it because of the sweet sour taste.
DeleteYour 3 simple dishes for dinner look so tasty and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby.
