Red Bean Porridge

After moving to Pakenham, I had a tuff time arranging my Kitchen items as the kitchen pantry is smaller. I had to store half of my kitchen stuff in the Laundry room linen cabinet. So while trying to reduce my stored dry foods, I found red beans lying in the pantry shelf.

 

Made a very simple Red Bean Porridge using what I had in my pantry.

 

 

Serves 2

Ingredients

2/3 cups of red bean

2 Pandan Leaves

Coconut Milk

Sugar

Pinch of salt

 

Method

1.       I boiled the Red Bean with water and Pandan leaves in Pressure Cooker.

2.       Once the beans are soft, I transferred them to a normal pot, and added in sugar as required, pinch of salt and coconut milk. ( I added about 1/3 cup of coconut milk)

3.       Turn off the heat and ready to be served.

Cream Corn and Chicken Soup

After a year, finally I’ve got some spare time now..It is definitely not an easy task to up bring a toddler....Now that Esha is more independent, there is time for me to cook, snap snap and update this blog.

 

Anyways, with the wet winter weather, I dished up this soup for Esha and she loved it….
