Kenwood Cooking Appliances To Elevate Your Hari Raya Dishes
Being the family’s designated chef can be challenging during Hari Raya, especially when you’re expected to master every one of your nenek’s recipes. With Malay food being an entire cuisine, of course, there’ll be high expectations of you.
The secret to making any Hari Raya dish is equipping your kitchen with the proper tools. With the right cooking appliance and baking equipment, not only does it make your job easier, but you can also save lots of time getting the little details right.
But with everything from meat grinders to hand blenders, how do you know which cooking appliance you’ll need for each Hari Raya dish? Don’t fret; we have compiled a list to help you lay out the perfect Hari Raya feast.
Round Up The Spices For The King Of Curries
Ask anyone, and they’ll probably agree that beef rendang is the most iconic Hari Raya dish, with every family having their rendition. But one thing’s for sure: the trick to bringing out all the flavours is to blend all the spices finely before sauteing so you have a luscious paste to go with your protein of choice.
To do that, you’re going to need a powerful food processor. Or, if you like to stay in control of the process, you can also use a hand blender to achieve a smooth and consistent texture. The result should be a nice pasty curry base with all the good stuff mixed to bring out the irresistible flavour we all know and love.
Make Space For Homemade Lemang
What better way to accompany your beef rendang than with some sweet and sticky lemang? Traditionally, lemang is cooked over an open fire on bamboo poles. However, the old-school method can be challenging if you do not have the space or tools at home for it.
That’s where Kenwood Malaysia’s range of electric convection ovens can be a lifesaver. The cooking process is more or less the same. The only difference is that you do not have to sit by the fire and keep an eye on the lemang for hours.
Just wrap your glutinous rice in a banana leaf after soaking it in water or coconut milk. Pop it into your electric or convection oven for 15 minutes, and you’ll be rewarded with mouth-watering lemang to compliment your curry and rendang dishes this Hari Raya.
Sweeten Your Hari Raya Feast With Kuih Bahulu
With the main courses covered, there’s always space for some sweet treats. Kuih bahulu is a light and spongy after-meal treat and is the perfect close to your rich and sumptuous Hari Raya feast.
Even though there are only a handful of ingredients, the key to delicious kuih bahulu is to mix the eggs and sugar until they double in volume. And, getting the consistency right can be tricky if the batter isn’t mixed properly.
That’s not a problem if you have a professional stand mixer like the Chefette 3L Stand Mixer, to achieve a smooth consistency for your kuihs and bakes. Not only will your arms thank you, but you’ll also be able to use that extra time to do some last-minute spring cleaning before your family comes over to celebrate Hari Raya.
Besides mixing, the Chefette Stand Mixer also includes attachments ranging from pasta shaping to a grinding mill. So really, we’ve sweetened the deal this Hari Raya with our all-in-one kitchen tool.
And there’s more. Any purchase of the Chefette grants you unlimited access to the 360° Baking Support programme. That means you’ll be able to connect 1-on-1 with a culinary professional working in the industry. Furthermore, you can also enjoy our free online workshops with classes on everything food-related.
