Bubur Asyura in da House... our version...

Bubur Asyura (BA) is one of my awaited home-made dish, yearly... Besides kuah kacang n rendang..


There may be several versions of BAs... savory or sweet... depends on the state and origin..

As for ours, it originates from Alor Setar, Kedah... Initially, we were at Alor Setar several years back. Coincidentally, one of the days of our trip falls on 10th Muharram.. We were at Taman Muhibbah of Jalan Sultanah then... For every Asyura, the ladies will gather to make BA.. They'll collect money, buy the raw material, process it and started the making of BA - gotong royong concept!!! Siap kawah besar segala.. Once it's done, they'll placed it on a big round tray - underlined with banana leaves.. Then they distributed it accordingly...

Sucha cool concept, kannn... Do excuse my 'jakun-ness' as i hardly experience those culture, here...

It was a cool experience for all of us... Therefore, mum took the recipe and adapt it as our yearly do... But there are changes made as we did ourselves at home and we placed in plastic container, which convenient for distributions...

These are the ingredient that we normally use... Clockwise from the can are kidney bean, sweet potatoes, red beans, green beans (kacang ijo), yam, purple yam (not sure the actual name but sedap) and a type of soy like bean... Cukup 7 kn... If x cukup, we'll substitute to corn, banana, sagoo or anything that goes well with other ingredient.. xkan nk letak dageng or cheese kot... lol

All ingredient are cooked first... Or else it'll be cooked unevenly... Then all are added to the main ingredient which is tepung beras, corn floor, gula melaka along with other ingredients... The which mixture are initially caer, needs to be stirred till it's really thick.. This is certainly not an easy process as the thicker it is, the heavier it will be...

Once it is really cooked and well done, it is placed to the containers, accordingly...

Yumm yummmm...

Do ignore the calories, content of carbs, sugars n such once these are consumed... enuff said..
