Pregnancy recipe : Simple Steamed Fish

Here's a simple recipe I'd like to share. It's not meant specifically for pregnant ladies, but since pregnant women's throat may not accept a lot of spicy dishes(my experience)..steamed & soups go the other way round,  it usually gets down pretty well.

And fish tastes great when steamed .I can't tolerate the taste of poultry much when I'm conceiving, so I go for fishes and Alhamdulillah, it tastes better than ever.

Ingredients:
  1. Fish (You could use either barammundi @ seabass (siakap) , black/white pomfret (bawal).
    Here I'd be using seabass.
  2. 1 big onion ~ finely sliced
  3. 1 turmeric root (thumb sized) ~ finely chopped
  4. 1 thumb-sized ginger~ finely chopped
  5. 3 cloves of garlic~ finely chopped
  6. Few strands of spring onions~ chopped coarsely
  7. Few  pinches of salt & pepper
 **You could add sliced chili, but in this recipe I am not using any as I don't fancy the taste**

Method:
  • Prepare the steamer, add water, bring to boil.
  • Put the fish onto a bowl/plate.
  • Just simply sprinkle all the ingredients on top of it. You may add a squeeze of lemon juice to dampen the fishy smell.
  • Place the bowl of fish into the steamer and wait for it to cook.
  • In next to just few minutes you're ready for a meal. Easy & yummy!


**To get rid of the fishy smell:  before cooking the fish, do soak it in lime + salt + water for few minutes. Rinse it off with water ,next it's ready  for cooking**

Enjoy! And do have a lovely meal with this recipe.. =)

Is white sugar toxic?

Assalamualaikum. Let's talk about sugar.  When I was younger, I thought sugar was only used in beverages - coffees & teas.  However, as time passed by I realized sugar was added not only in beverages but also in many of the on shelf products.  ( including canned food, instant meals, yoghurt drinks etc. Learn to read the ingredients, not all product are labelled honestly ) Then came another surprise, many people include sugar as an essential ingredient for a variety of cooking recipes. I am not talking about desserts, I'm talking about gravy, soups and curry. A hint of sugar is okay.  A lot of sugar is poison.  Here are 6 of the health problems that may be trigger from consuming too much sugar :- 1) Weight gain ( Obesity )  ~ Studies have shown, sugar is one of the major contributors to obesity.  ~ Fructose is linked to increased hunger, thus the desire to eat more.  2) Diabetes ( High blood sugar ) ~ Diabetes takes many years before symptoms are noticeable. ~ A high sugar d
