I'm Back.

It has been a while i know. So today i finally uploaded my foods picture on the.curykitchengoddess instagram account. Been contemplating about it way too long that i figured, WHY NOT? However a lot of work need to be done, I have tons of food picture in my personal Instagram account that i need to start posting / import / regram it in the.curykitchengoddess account. And, yes. i need to start updating the recipe in here too. Most of the time, I either cook the food by heart (means i grew up with it that i don't need to refer to any recipe book) or it's just my cooking adventure that turn up well ( edible and it's delish - to my liking ), or a new recipe that I got from friends or the internet. I need to do this. Hope you'll enjoy your stay browsing around. Love, Amy

Lempeng

Image
Ingredient: 1 cup of flour 1 1/3 cup of water Pinch of salt Oregano Rosemary  How I Make Them: Mix all of the ingredient together until there’s no lump. Brush the frying pan / skillet with cooking oil. and heat over medium-low heat.  Add 1 cupfuls of batter and cook until bubbly on top slightly golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.  Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. This’ll make 2 to 3 Lempeng. Happy Cooking~! Notes: 🍽 The two herbs are optional, I just happen to have some of them and don’t want to waste it  🍽 The Rosemary have a very strong taste and smell you might want to add in just a little bit or none at all. ❤️ Amy
