Sup?
Today I paid a visit to my local market and bought some shits to cook.
After I already started, I thought of how cheap everything was and I thought I'm gonna go Waki on you guys and share my progress! Shit I do is easy, not time consuming and incredibly tasty!
So, here we go!
Step 1 - (since I came up with the idea after I had already done some shit, few first steps are without pictures)
Go buy the products!
I bought 6 pieces of chicken (1.90€), 3 kg potatoes (1.5€), a cucumber (0.50€), white beetroot (0.25€), three tomatoes (0.60€), sour cream (0.50€], 2 litres of milk (1€). All together cost 6.25€.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and chop them to smaller pieces, but not too small. Then start boiling them!
Step 3
Heat up the frying pan, season the chicken, place it on the pan on a bit higher than "middle" temperature (depends on your stove) for like, 30-35 minutes.
Step 4
After the potatoes have boiled enough (15-20 minutes) and they fall off your knife when you "check" them, pour out the water. After that, heat up like 0.8 litres of milk.
Step 5
After the milk has heated up (don't let it boil, just heat it up), pour it to the pot with the potatoes. Add like 100 grams of butter and some seasoning, take out your mixer and start mixing shit hardcore until it's all smooth and creamy.
Step 6
While you mix up your mashed potatoes, it's time for the sauce to cook! Add a few bigger spoons of flour, then 1.2 litres of milk that's left to a bowl and stir it. Make sure the flour does not stick together, important! Then add some seasoning (def add dry basil) and let it boil, stir it every 1-2 minutes so the flour does not stick to the bottom of the pot!
Step 7
Now your mashed potatoes should look like a really creamy and nice mass. Chicken should be cooked, so remove it. Time to chop up some green. Some regular cucumber and tomato. I also added grated white beetroot with sour cream and salt, fucking amazing taste, cheap and good for you! (not that I care about the last part, though I guess I should) So now, grab a plate and eat up! Fucking tasty, takes around 40 minutes, at least 5-6 portions and is really cheap.

nigga please, 1l costs ~1,5€ here
It's still relatively cheap.
1L kostet irgendwas um die 60 cent
Just one note, u have mixed potatoes not really mashed.
I usually cook something similar, without the sauce, mash the potatoes (add way less milk also - well it depends, if u have sauce u don't need that much milk, if u don't have a sauce u add a bit more milk, but still not 8dl)
Moar!
what are you cooking every day?
i would be too tired after work to cook for 2 hours
(y)
wow i bet that meat wasnt dry at all
wnb ru
that's something u will eat and eat and eat and eat again...
e: och and i was disappointed in fact it wasn't triangle, haha ;d
the real pizza is made here:
with particulars steps
other than that, would be tasty if made properly :D
Thaifood for ~5€
Buy: 1 jar of red or yellow Thai-curry-paste(~0,8€), some sliced chicken (~2€), broccoli (0,5€), glas with "mixed thai/chineese veggis" (~1€), cocosmilk (0.5€)
Take a pan, heat it up, put in a tablespoon of the thai-curry, after that the chicken. Roast it for a few mins, after that add the cocos milk, put in a few tablespoons of the thaicurry, (if you have, add some "Thom-Ka-Gai"-paste), throw in the broccoli and let it boil for a min, after that add the thai veggis, season it with peppers (cayene, asia, whatever you have), soy souce and some chilli.
done.
Sort of, yeah.
only that I dont like any sweet tastes in it, only thing I might put in are "mungobeans" which sometimes have a little sweet taste.
I'm pretty much going kamikaze in the kitchen, throwing everything I can find in a pan/wok and see what happens, the only thing I've ever used a cooking book for was Spiagetti Carbonara :)
If you like the Asian cuisine you should try oyster sauce, if you haven't yet. Can add it to your receipe instead of the thai curry. Also Asian shops sell a variety of herbs and spices like fennel seeds, dried chillies, coriander etc. Kicking your dishes to a whole new level (-:
But now I really like the taste of it, even tho I'm still a big fan of thai-curry paste, few weeks ago I got some self-made one from a friends mother (asians).
Even tho my spice storage is at 140% already, I'm still adding different spices each week.
My biggest problem with the thai vegges is that when I go to the Asia shop, I cant go there and simply buy the things I need for what I want to cook but I've to decide what I want to cook when I'm there since their offer is different each day.
yummy stuff and not expensive too
my mother taught me :D
