I had no idea where that country is located. I guess this project improves not only my cooking skills but also my knowledge of geography :). I found tons of interesting information about Brunei geography, climate, people (including its famous ruler), etc. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a recipe that would inspire me to be creative or at least enjoy cooking it. Anyway here are the dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\nBeriani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/tr>\n
\nA tasty one pot dish. Has delicate nutty flavor to it (no wander it has all kinds of nuts in the sauce). The recipe I copied from the one of many sites that have almost identical Brunei recipes. <\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 chicken, about 900 gms ( beef\/mutton )<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds<\/li>\n
  • 1 clove garlic<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup shallots, sliced<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp curry powder<\/li>\n
  • 2-3 tsps salt<\/li>\n
  • 2 chillies<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 coconut, grated<\/li>\n
  • 5 cm piece ginger<\/li>\n
  • 4 tbsps ghee<\/li>\n
  • 5 cloves<\/li>\n
  • 5 cm cinnamon stick<\/li>\n
  • 10 cashew nuts<\/li>\n
  • 10 almonds<\/li>\n
  • 450 gms long-grain rice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cut chicken into 6-8 pieces. Grind together garlic, ginger, chillies, poppy seeds, cashew nuts and almonds. Heat ghee and fry cloves, cinnamon, shallots. Add in the chicken pieces, 1 tsp salt, ground ingredients and curry powder. Stir to mix and cook covered for 10 minutes. Extract 1-2 cups coconut milk from coconut. Add in salt. Mixed with washed rice and cook it. When the rice has absorbed all the milk, make a well in the center and put in the chicken mixture. Cover and allow rice to cook over very low heat.<\/p>\n

\nSticky Rice Mango<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/tr>\n
\nThis is a nice dessert. As I read in one of the recipes for the sticky rice I had my rice burn a little bit in order to caramelize it. I used this recipe<\/a> for the base (it does not say it’s from Brunei but I guess they should be pretty similar).<\/p>\n
