I converted leftover rice into Bombay Halwa (Musket) & had with condensed milk tea!| Traditional Me
Sometimes, I’m unsure of whether or not to comment on certain things my Brother does. Uncle Siriwardena just brought some fresh “Handallo“ (anchovies) from the Negombo fish market for us. I’m particularly interested in cooking fish using a variety of suitable methods rather than always using the same technique. These little fish require tedious cleaning, but I did it fast. I then fried the fish after dipping them in the flour batter and coating them with desiccated coconut for lunch. Even lunchtime took a little longer to get ready because cleaning the fish required some time. However, my Brother has not yet returned home. Since my Grandmother was hungry I had no other option but to sit for lunch with her. Suddenly Brother appeared out of nowhere and swiftly ate his lunch, but what was unusual was that he only had a few mouthfuls. He then said that since he couldn’t refuse his elder aunty’s request, he also ate some hot rice from elder aunty’s home. Now that I’ve prepared lunch for all three, what do I do with it? This was why I admitted that I was unsure of whether or not to speak out about my Brother’s some childish behaviour due to his careless actions.
Then, when I questioned what I was expected to do with these cooked rice, he also had prepared an answer that was in his favour too. Now he wanted me to use the leftover rice to create rice muskat (Rice Bombay Halwa). After eating lunch on some days, I used to make rice muskat using leftover parboiled rice. Despite being cooked with parboiled rice, this muskat is exquisitely tasty. I used to prepare it by incorporating a wide range of flavours and a number of other ingredients. On that particular day, I made the decision to add green cherry pieces in sugar syrup to the muskat. Before adding the green cherry pieces into the white muskat mixture. I added the white muskat mixture into cups with dried blackcurrents in the bottom to enhance the look. So ultimately the muskat will be presented in two flavours and two gorgeous colours too. It should also be prepared quickly since I need to remove the muskat mixture from the fire to acquire the proper consistency. On some days, instead of pouring the mixture into cups, I just cut the muskat mixture into pieces after flattening it out into a thin layer.
While I was making the muskat (Bombay Halwa), I requested my Brother to make tea. Mainly because I missed my relaxed afternoon leisure time due to his muskat request. Always my Brother’s tea was exceptionally good. Condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon flavour and the ideal consistency of his prepared tea worked wonders as well. It actually went well with the muskat. Although the muskat’s sweet flavour is unmatched, I am not particularly interested in cooking it frequently because it calls for a lot of sugar and oil. So, instead of saving the balanced muskat for a later time, I delivered it to the elder aunty’s residence so they may enjoy it.
Love you All!
