Bubur Asyura

Hello everyone...

I've been wanting to update the page since last Sunday but time is just not on my side at the moment, especially last week. There are many expected and unexpected events to attend to. But alhamdulillah managed to get through all the obstacles and am still breathing till today.... alhamdulillah....

Though I would love to write more, but I still have things to do and the dateline is this afternoon. So let me just post one of the many few recipes that I have tried lately. Read at Mat Teko Gebu's blog about 10 Muharram, where lots of important events took place. You can read more about it at here.

One of the things that people use to do during Hari Asyura is to prepare this porriage call Bubur Asyura. There are many versions of Bubur Asyura and I chose this one among all as I don't quite like sweet rice porriage. I found the recipe when I clicked at google search. Thank you to Acik Yarn from MyResipi dot Com who is so kind enough to share her mother's lovely and easy recipe. Allow me to share it here. Thank you.
