CHILLI CON CARNE

 

Bought this pack of Colman's seasoning mix out of impulse while I was grocery shopping in Village Grocer, Avenue K. It is a spicy seasoning mix with chilli powder and cumin for the Mexican classic dish.


Ingredients (Serves 4)
  • 1 sachet Colman's chilli con carne seasoning mix
  • 400 grams lean minced beef
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 150 ml cold water
  • 400 grams can chopped tomatoes
  • 400 grams kidney beans drained
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
Method
  1. Brown the mince, onion and bell pepper in a saucepan. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Blend the contents of the sachet with the water and add to the mince, along with tomatoes and kidney beans.
  3. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until thoroughly cooked.

Mix the Chilli Con Carne seasonings with 150ml of cold water. 

Fry the onion and bell pepper with the mince.


Cook the beef until it is brown.

Add the seasoning mixture

In go the kidney beans....

After adding the tomato, bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for about 20mins.


Yay! It's done!

I sprinkle some parsley flakes for garnish. Best enjoyed with rice or bake potatoes!

AIR-FRYER: KEROPOK LEKOR

How to fry Keropok Lekor using an Air Fryer: 1) Brush some oil evenly onto the keropok. You can use any cooking oil. I use coconut cooking oil. You can do without the oil, but your keropok will turn out a bit dry and dull-looking. If you apply some oil, it will help seal in the moisture and gives that "deep-fry" appearance to the keropok.  2) Air-fry at 180 deg C for 10 mins, check if cooked and increase the cooking time as needed. 3) Enjoy! Cara memasak Keropok Lekor dengan Air-Fryer 1) Sapukan sedikit minyak masak pada permukaan keropok lekor. Saya menggunakan minyak kelapa. Sebenarnya, kamu juga boleh memasak keropok lekor ini tanpa minyak tetapi hasilnya keropok akan menjadi lebih kering dan kelihatan kurang menarik. Lapisan minyak akan menjadikan keropok lebih lembut dan kelihatan seperti digoreng.  2) Setting: Air-fry pada 180 darjah C selama 10 minit. Tengok sama ada keropok dah masak. Tambah masa memasak jika perlu. 3) Jom makan!
