Malaysian / Singaporean Indian Cuisine: Lamb Biryani Biryani varies by region. Traditionally, Indian biryani is served in one dish without any sauce but I prefer this Malaysian Indian style biryani more because I like the combination of spiced rice and lamb curry.  I have already made this dish several times as it's that  delicious, flavoursome and easy to make.  The recipe was adapted from Recipes are Simple .  Scroll down for the recipe.

Polish cuisine:  Polish Dumplings with Potato  and Cottage Cheese Filling (Pierogi Ruskie) with Carrot Apple Salad and Sour Cream I miss having Polish food again! I made  Polish meatballs (pulpety) in dill sauce with carrot apple salad and mashed potato last time. This time, I decided to make pierogi (filled dumplings). They're considered peasant food in Poland because of its simplicity and low-cost to make. However, I always look at pierogi like our shuijiao (Chinese boiled dumplings /  水餃 ) which is definitely not just for the peasants but for everyone. Pierogi ruskie consists of mashed potato, farmers' cheese and onions. I couldn't find any Polish farmers' cheese from where I live in Manchester so I used cottage cheese from local supermarket. Pierogi is usually served hot on its own or with sour cream. I added carrot apple salad too. The recipe was adapted from Polonist .  Scroll down for the recipe.
