Petua Menyimpan Madu Dengan Baik

Meskipun madu dapat disimpan sehingga bertahun lamanya, namun madu juga boleh rosak jika salah menyimpannya. Berikut terdapat beberapa cara dan panduan yang membantu madu dapat disimpan dalam jangka waktu yang lebih panjang tanpa menghilangkan manfaatnya.

• Jangan biarkan madu disimpan di tempat terbuka, apatah lagi di udara yang lembap. Madu bersifat mudah menarik air yang memungkinkan madu berkurang kualitinya.

• Simpan madu di dalam bekas berkaca. Pastikan  penutupnya ditutup dengan rapat. Jangan sesekali menyimpan madu di dalam bekas logam atau plastik kerana asid pada madu dibimbangi akan bereaksi pada bekas logam dan bole hmenjadi racun jika dimakan.

• Simpan madu dalam suhu bilik, di dalam bekas kaca yang kedap udara. Jangan simpan di dalam petia sejuk untuk menghindari berlakunya pengkristalan. Madu jernih lebih baik disimpan di tempat yang sejuk dan dingin.

• Hindarkan daripada terdedah kepada sinar matahari. Ini kerana nutrisi di dalam madu akan menjadi rosak dan seterusnya boleh mengurangkan manfaat madu

• Jangan menyimpan madu bersama makanan dan bahan yang berbau (durian, tempoyak, petai,belacan dan sebagainya). Ini kerana madu mudah menyerap bau-bauan di sekelilingnya. 

A beautiful story

A beautiful story:

My name is Cassie, I am 23 years old. I graduated as a qualified nurse and was given my first position as a home nurse.

My patient was an English gentleman in his early 80s who suffered from Alzheimer's. In the first meeting, the patient was given his record and from it I could see that he was a convert to the religion of Islam, therefore he was a Muslim.

I knew from this that I would need to take into account some modes of treatment that may go against his faith, and therefore try to adapt my care to meet his needs. I brought in some ‘halal’ meat to cook for him and ensured that there was no pork or alcohol in the premises as I did some research which showed that these were forbidden in Islam.

My patient was in a very advanced stage of his condition so a lot of my colleagues could not understand why I was going through so much effort for him. But I understood that a person who commits to a faith deserves that commitment to be respected, even if they are not in a position to understand.

Anyway after a few weeks with my patient I began to notice some patterns of movement.

At first I thought it was some copied motions he's seen someone doing, but I saw him repeat the movement at particular time; morning, afternoon, evening.

The movements were to raise his hands, bow and then put his head to the ground. I could not understand it. He was also repeating sentences in another language, I couldn’t figure out what language it was as his speech was slurred but I know the same verses were repeated daily.

Also there was something strange, he didnt allow me to feed him with my left hand (I am left-handed).

Somehow I knew this linked to his religion but didn't know how.

One of my colleagues told me about paltalk as a place for debates and discussions and as I did not know any Muslims except for my patient I thought it would be good to speak to someone live and ask questions. I went on the Islam section and entered the room ‘True Message'.

Here I asked questions regarding the repeated movements and was told that these were the actions of prayer. I did not really believe it until someone posted a link of the Islamic prayer on youtube.

I was shocked.

A man who has lost all memory of his children, of his occupation, and could barely eat and drink was able to remember not only actions of prayer but verses that were in another language.

This was nothing short of incredible and I knew that this man was devout in his faith, which made me want to learn more in order to care for him the best I could.

I came into the paltalk room as often as I could and was given a link to read the translation of the Quran and listen to it.

The chapter of the ‘Bee’ gave me chills and I repeated it several times a day.

I saved a recording of the Quran on my iPod and gave it to my patient to listen to, he was smiling and crying, and in reading the translation I could see why.

I applied what I gained from paltalk to care for my patient but gradually found myself coming to the room to find answers for myself.

I never really took the time to look at my life; I never knew my father, my mother died when I was 3, me and my brother were raised by our grandparents who died 4 years ago, so now its just the two of us.

But despite all this loss, I always thought I was happy, content.

It was only after spending time with my patient that felt like I was missing something. I was missing that sense of peace and tranquility my patient, even through suffering felt.

I wanted that sense of belonging and a part of something that he felt, even with no one around him.

I was given a list of mosques in my area by a lady on paltalk and went down to visit one. I watched the prayer and could not hold back my tears.

I felt drawn to the mosque every day and the imam and his wife would give me books and tapes and welcome any questions I had.

Every question I asked at the mosque and on paltalk was answered with such clarity and depth that could do nothing but accept them.

I have never practiced a faith but always believed that there was a God; I just did not know how to worship Him.

One evening I came on paltalk and one of the speakers on the mic addressed me. He asked me if I have any questions, I said no. He asked if I was happy with the answers I was given, I said yes.

He asked then what was stopping me accepting Islam, I could not answer.

I went to the mosque to watch the dawn prayer. The imam asked me the same question, I could not answer.

I then went to tend to my patient, I was feeding him and as I looked in his eyes I just realized, he was brought to me for a reason and the only thing stopping me from accepting was fear.... not fear in the sense of something bad, but fear of accepting something good, and thinking that I was not worthy like this man.

That afternoon I went to the mosque and asked the imam if I could say my declaration of faith, the Shahadah.

لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله (lā ʾilāha ʾillà l-Lāh, Muḥammadun rasūlu l-Lāh)

There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is Allah's messenger.

He helped me through it and guided me through what I would need to do next.

I cannot explain the feeling I felt when I said it.

It was like someone woke me up from sleep and sees everything more clearly.

The feeling was overwhelming joy, clarity and most of all.... peace.

The first person I told was not my brother but my patient.

I went to him, and before I even opened my mouth he cried and smiled at me.

I broke down in front of him, I owed him so much.

I came home logged on to paltalk and repeated the shahadah for the room.

They all helped me so much and even though I had never seen a single one of them, they felt closer to me than my own brother.

I did eventually call my brother to tell him and although he wasn’t happy, he supported me and said he would be there, I couldn't ask for any more.

After my first week as a Muslim my patient passed away in his sleep while I was caring for him. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.

He died a peaceful death and I was the only person with him.

He was like the father I never had and he was my doorway to Islam.

From the day of my Shahadah to this very day and for every day for as long as I live, I will pray that Allah shows mercy on him and grant him every good deed I perform in the tenfold.

I loved him for the sake of Allah and I pray each night to become an atoms weight of the Muslim he was.

Islam is a religion with an open door; it is there for those who want to enter it.... Verily Allah is the Most Merciful, Most Kind.

* note * Our sister Cassie passed away October 2010 Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon, after she gave da'wa to her brother, who had accepted Islam Alhamdulillah

Tragedi MH 17 di Ukraine : RINGKASAN URUSAN JENAZAH HANCUR BERCAMPUR NON-MUSLIM -17-7-2014

MH 17: RINGKASAN URUSAN JENAZAH HANCUR BERCAMPUR NON-MUSLIM

Jika telah bercampur dan tidak boleh dikenali di antara Muslim dan non-Muslim, maka menurut ijtihad Imam Syafie disolatkan semuanya walau bercampur dan tidak dapat dipastikan lagi, walaupun jumlah yang muslim kurang berbanding non-muslim. Dengan hujjah solat ke atas jenazah muslim itu wajib. Oleh kerana solat ke atas orang bukan Islam itu ditegah di dalam Islam, mazhab Syafie menyarankan niat solat ke atas mayat bercampur itu dengan mengikat iaitu :-

“Aku solatkan ke atas jenazah ini JIKA dia seorang Islam”

Berikut adalah teks dari kitab fiqh silam :-

قال الشافعي ) رحمه الله تعالى( : وإذا غرق الرجال أو أصابهم هدم أو حريق وفيهم مشركون كانوا أكثر أو أقل من المسلمين صلى عليهم ، وينوي بالصلاة المسلمين دون المشركين ، وقال بعض الناس : إذا كان المسلمون أكثر صلى عليهم ، ونوى بالصلاة المسلمين دون المشركين ، وإن كان المشركون أكثر لم يصل على واحد منهم ( قال الشافعي ( لئن جازت الصلاة على مائة مسلم فيهم مشرك بالنية لتجوزن على مائة مشرك فيهم مسلم

Ertinya : Imam Syafi'i berkata: Ketika beberapa lelaki tenggelam atau tertimpa runtuhan bangunan atau kebakaran dan di sana bercampur baur dengan orang kafir sama ada lebih ramai atau kurang dibandingkan dengan orang-orang muslim, maka boleh solat ke atas orang-orang tersebut dengan niat solat ke atas orang Islam. Ada sebahagian berpendapat: “Boleh menyolatkan hanya jika orang muslim lebih banyak dari pada orang kafir, tetapi kalau orang kafir lebih banyak hukum mensolatkannya tidak boleh”.

Imam Syafi'i berkata: “Kalau boleh menyolatkan seratus orang Islam yang di dalamnya terdapat satu orang musyrik dengan niat, maka diperbolehkan pula mensolatkan satu orang muslim yang di dalamnya terdapat seratus orang musyrik dengan niat. Itu kalau orang kafir atau orang musyrik tersebut tidak bisa dikenali lagi. (Imam al-Muzanni, Mukhtasar al-Muzanni ‘ala al -Umm )

Bagi yang tidak berada di sana, boleh dilaksanakan solat ghaib.

Adakah Perlu Mandikan Anggota Bercampur?

Imam Syafie juga berpendapat bahawa mayat yang tidak lengkap tubuhnya, termasuk mayat yang telah terpotong anggota tetap wajib dimandikan, dikafankan, dan disolatkan. Tiada bezanya di antara mayat yang lengkap dengan yang tidak. Justeru, wajib memandikan anggota tubuh si mayat yang terdapat itu seperti wajibnya memandikan mayat yang lengkap anggota badannya. Pendapat yang serupa juga disebutkan oleh Imam Ahmad bin Hambal, dan Ibnu Hazm. Imam Syaf’i berkata: “kami mendapat berita bahawa di waktu perang berunta(Jamal), seekor burung menggugurkan sepotong tangan manusia di Mekah (tangan itu adalah tangan Abd Rahman Bin ‘Itab bin Asid).

Tangan itu dapat mereka kenali dengan cincin. Maka tangan itu mereka mandikan dan shalatkan, dan hal itu adalah di depan para sahabat”

Imam Ahmad, berkata: “Abu Ayyub mensolatkan sepotong kaki, sedang Umar mensolatkan tulang-belulang”

Justeru, sekiranya didapati mana-mana satu anggota dan tidak menjadi luruh atau tanggal dengan sebab dimandikan maka wajiblah dimandi dan disolatkan. Dan jika ianya menjadi luruh sedangkan anggota-anggota itu adalah sebahagian daripada anggota tayammum maka wajiblah ditayammumkan anggota itu dan disembahyangkan keatasnya.

Sekiranya tiada kemampuan atas sebab terlalu ramai atau wujud halangan undang-undang dan sebagainya seperti orang yang terbakar sehingga menjadi debu atau yang dimakan binatang buas, tenggelam di dalam laut atau lubang yang tidak dapat dikeluarkan atau ditemukan. tidak perlu dimandikan lagi. Menurut pendapat para ulama silam, orang Islam yang mati dalam kebakaran yang habis seluruh tubuhnya menjadi debu tidaklah wajib dimandikan, dan mengikut pendapat yang muktamad namun boleh disolatkan.

Saya mengucapan setinggi-tinggi takziah kepada ahli keluarga mereka yang terlibat, semoga tuan puan dikurniakan kesabaran berpanjangan. ٍSama-sama berdoa untuk keampunan dan rahmat buat mangsa beragama Islam.

اللهم اغفر له وارحمه، وعافه ،واعف عنه ،وأكرم نُزُله ، ووسع مُدخلهُ ، واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ، ونقه من الخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس ، وأبدله داراً خيراً من داره ، وأهلاً خيراً من أهله وزوجاً خيراً من زوجه، وأدخله الجنة ،وأعذه من عذاب القبر ( ومن عذاب النار )

how-i-left-my-pious-wife-inspiring-story

Salamu `alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I have a very delicate issue that I have not been able to talk to anyone; I admit it’s out of pride and arrogance that I let go of a devoted and pious wife someone who has clearly forsake this materialistic life for a better life in the akhira (hereafter), and now I am going crazy, can’t live with the guilt and knowing that only punishment awaits me. Lately I was reading surat An-Noor V 23 in the Quran, as if this was directly only to me. She married me on the lowest dowry and asked to be taught the Quran, which I never took the time to do instead I found a reason to complain about her pronunciation etc…. I could count her mistakes and shortcomings but I could never count her blessings and self discipline and how much she struggled to live an Islamic life. I took the ‘cheap’ dowry for granted and mentally aligned this how I treated her. I slandered her on many occasions to friends and family and tried to make it look like I was living in hell but was being patient when in fact it was the reverse.

She stayed with me when almost everyone deserted me and supported me and took care of my home while I was away, and more than anything never asked for a single thing. I lead myself to believe that there is only one solution which is to divorce her otherwise I will look like a liar for all the slandering. While she was away visiting her family, I started talking to a woman on a chat line, of course I was at my best and so was she. I told her everything I wanted her to hear and she did the same. We communicated for a long time but eventually I could see she was not up for marriage. I felt the grass was greener on the other side, and even when I see my friends with their wives, I felt I had nothing and they had it all to later find out that they were like that in front of other people but not at their homes. I felt my friends were like friends with their wives which I didn’t think I had when in fact I had the best friend in my wife, for always encouraging me to take on new challenges, built my confidence and never failed to wake me up for praying as she never failed to wake up for Qiyam Layl and read the Quran daily. She would occasionally forsake me for an optional fast but she never compromise to please me.

I was blind, and because I was talking about her to my friends and family and positioning my side just because I had put in my head that I want a divorce and I was looking for all kind of excuses to validate it. I mistreated her and called her any bad names you can think of, even told her she is not pretty and made her feel worthless. I don’t know how she put with it but she did and I viewed it as she has low self esteem and I abused it and made her feel it. I ended up divorcing my wife, something she didn’t although I mentioned it on numerous occasions she didn’t see it coming. All she said was you trust a stranger on the internet that you never met to divorce me and cried endlessly.

The day after, she washed, ironed and perfumed all my clothing and have the place spot clean and she left, never have I seen her again nor heard from her nor even know where she might be. I was the reason she moved away from a place she was able to practice the deen (religion) openly to now perhaps a place where she is oppressed for her Islamic clothing. Now, I can hear how demanding my friends’ wives are when mine never once for a single thing if I don’t voluntarily give it. My friend is trying to find me a wife but in my heart as if I lost my soul and live with the greatest heavy rock in my heart on a daily basis.

I pray, I fast, I read the Quran and I was blessed with a pious wife what most men are searching vigorously nowadays to now perhaps settle for a woman who is asking for a much higher dowry that I could barely afford and in putting things in place that she would not do certain things and asking for a confirmation that I could not take a second wife if I want to etc……………. and for some reason I seem to be going along with it when I can’t get my wife out of my mind and my life. If only Allah gives me a second chance I promise with all that I have that I will be a better person. I feel I want to get married for the sake of getting married or perhaps a means to forget about my wife; since the divorce there hasn’t been a day since I haven’t thought about her and would do anything to bring her back, but of course, there is pride of what I have numerously told my family and how would that affect me, but at the same time I can’t live with the lies and guilt I built on her.

Now, reading the Quran, I know I never treated her well and how divorce was from Satan. I cry my heart when I think how she stood by me when I had nothing and now when I am financially ok, I let her go and now I feel empty. I beg all of you who are reading this to please ask Allah to give me another chance; I made a terrible mistake and please to bring her back to me. Allah knows why He made divorce the most hatred thing and why this is Satan biggest accomplishment and I am the prime example to have gone through it.

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I have the materials in this world now but I can’t find a pious sister and would give anything to get my wife back. And I know what I have now is also a test from Allah, how would I stand in front of Allah and answer for what I did it. Please make lots of du`ah for me and give me the best advice possible…. Shukran… It will truly be a miracle and I am praying a lot for it in all my salats that a miracle will happen and I will have her back in this life and next In sha’ Allah

Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

Read this small story; Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students “How much do you think this glass weighs?"
'50gms!'..... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is:
What would happen if I hel
d it up like this for a few minutes?"
'Nothing' …..the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student
"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!"
….. Ventured another student & all the students laughed
"Very good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" Asked the professor.
'No'…. Was the answer.
"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"
The students were puzzled.
"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.
"Put the glass down!" said one of the students
"Exactly!" said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before you go to sleep...
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

CARA MASAK TELUR REBUS YANG SEMPURNA: oleh Mamak Haji

CARA MASAK TELUR REBUS YANG SEMPURNA:
Setiap telur size A mempunyai 6gm protein dan 70 kalori tenaga. Telur rebus paling cantik ialah kuning telur berada betul-betul ditengah telor. Bukan ditepi atau bawah sehingga bila kopek terkeluar. Ada kala kopek kulit keluar sekali kuning telur.

1. Ok no.1 bila telur nak rebus pagi..malam itu aturkan telur mendatar dipapan telur seperti gamar mamak haji berikan. Ia akan tengahkan kuning telur.
2. Masa nak rebus ambil periok, isikan air ais yea bukan air paip..dlm bekas dan susunkan telur mendatar. Biarkan 2-3 minit.
3. Buka api dapur besar dan masak telur itu sehingga air mendidih..dalam masa ini putarkan telur-telur dengan senduk kayu ke apa..ikut jam selam 3 minit, berhenti 1 minit, kemudian putaran lawan jam selama 3 minit begitulah seterusnya sehingga air mendidih. Bila mendidih perlahan api dapur (jadikan gelumbong air menjadi kecil) dan masak sehingga 3 minit lagi..masa ini pun kena putarkan juga. (Bukan lama pun dalam 10-15 minit air dah mendidih)..selepas tiga minit matikan api dapur dan tutup bekas rebusan itu dgn tudung. Biarkan 10-12 minit.
4. Selepas itu angkat telur itu masukan dalam bekas yang ada air ais juga..sebelum masukkan ketuk kulit telur dgn perlahan untuk retak kulit telur di dua tiga tempat.
5. Biarkan 10 minit dlm air ais dan kopek..masa kopek mulakan dari tengah..mcm biasalah kopek itu..lalukan air pili pun boleh.
6. Mamak haji gerenti telur anda akan cantik...sila lihat buktinya mamak haji rebus 50 biji telur tak cacat celanya...hehehehe. selamat mencuba

Resipi Kari parpu oleh Mamak Haji

BAHAN-BAHAN:

250gm kacang parupu/dal.
1 cawan santan jika dikehendaki.
3 cili hijau dibelah dua.
1 sudu kecil halia dicincang.
3 biji cili kering.
1 sudu kecil (tsp) serbuk cili.
1 sudu kecil (tsp) serbuk kunyit.
1 sudu kecil (tsp) biji jintan putih.
1/2 sudu kecil (tsp) biji jintan manis.
1/2 sudu kecil (tsp) Garam Masala (sekiranya ada).
1 sudu kecil (tsp) gula.
secubit Astafeida - tidak kemestian
Garam secukup rasa.
Minyak untuk menumis.
CARA-CARA MENYEDIAKAN:

1. Masak kacang parupu dengan 2 cawan (cup) air, masukkan serbuk kunyit, serbuk cili. Sekiranya tak cukup air semasa memasaka boleh tambah air sedikit tetapi jangan terlalu banyak. Setelah masak secukup dan asingkan parpu yang telah masak.

2. Panaskan periok atau kuali dengan api sederhana besar dan masukkan minyak untuk tumis. Bila minyak panas masukkan cili kering, biji jintan putih dan manis, sekiranya suka boleh masukkan daun kari sedikit dan halia cicang. Bila biji rempah mula meletop, masukkan cili hijau.

3. Masukkan "serbuk astofeida" sekirana suka pada baunya tapi mamak haji tak galakan orang melayu gunakan astofeida menjadi bau harum rakyat bangla...hahahaha. Jangan ambil hati yea..bergurau saja. Astofeida ini bentuk serbuk yang diperbuat dari bawang putih dan halba. Awas jangan sampai hangus tumisan anda nanti pahit pulak kari anda. Masukkan serta-merta parpu yang telah masak tadi kedalam tumisan. Tumis campuran parupu dalam 2-3 minit lagi dengan adunkan rempah-rempah tadi.

4. Masukkan air mengikut kepekatan yang anda kehendaki. Pada masa ini juga, sekiranya anda suka bolehlah masukkan sayur-sayuran (labu air), kentang, tomato, dan karot. Biarkan kentang masak secukup. Masukkan garam secukup rasa. Perhatikan mamak haji suruh masukkan garam diakhir ubi kentang masak kerana garam akan melambatkan ubi kentang masak. Sekiranya garam dimasukkan diawal masakan, kita tidak boleh tentukan jumlah garam yang diperlukan ia semasa cair dan selepas bertukar menjadi pekat. Dengan sebab itu masukkan garam di akhir setiap masakan.

5. Masukkan santan dan tentukan kepekatan kari yang anda kehendaki, biasanya rak yat India tidak gunakan santan. Biarkan ia dimasak 5 minit lagi sehinnga mendidih untuk tidak cepat basi. Keluarkan dari dapur dan hidangkan. Kari parupu ini amat sesuai menjadi kuah pencicah untuk roti canai, capati, tosai atau roti potong. Khasiat parupu yang tinggi protein itu sangat sesuai untuk kanak-kanak dan juga kepada ingin menjaga diet dalam makanan. Selamat mencuba.

Status Mamak Haji mengenai kari parpu

Ini ada sahabat mohon resepi: "salam mamak haji bley bg resepi parpu telur tak? sya teringin nak mkn. tlg la sya mengidam Sgt."..Jadi terpaksa mamak haji ulang balik resepi ini:..

Menyediakan kari parupu, kacang parupu perlu dimasak dahulu dan diasingkan, sebelum mula masak kari parupu. Kebanyakan kari parupu orang Melayu, ialah kuah tak pekat dan kacang parupunya pulak selalunya belum cukup masak. Ini disebabkan ada yg buat kari parupu, kacang parupu dimasak sekali dengan rempah atau perencah rempah. Masak kari parupu bukan seperti masak kacang hijau untuk bubur kacang hijau. Parupu perlu dimasak asing. Untuk masak 1/2 kilo parupu ia mengambil masa sekurang-kurangnya 45 minit ke 1 jam lebih dengan api dapur biasa. Dengan sebab ini, cara terbaik masak parupu perlu menggunakan “pressure cooker” atau pun kacang parupu terlebih dahulu rendam. Air yang digunakan untuk rebus kacang parupu perlu cukup setakat untuk masak kacangnya sehingga untuk menjaga keseluruhan kelikatan kuah kari parupu. Biasanya sukatan air untuk masak parupu ialah 1 kali ganda dari paras air dengan paras kacang parupu. Biasanya parupu yang sedang rebus akan membuak sama seperti masak nasi. Bila masakan mula membuak, kecilkan api dan masukan sedikit air sejuk dan rebus sehingga kacang paruppu lembut (kalau dipicit diantara dua jari ia akan hancur) Cara masak parupu ini sama dengan masak resepi DALCA. Satu keistimewaan kari parupu ini ialah ia boleh disediakan dengan apa saja sayur-sayuran seperti labu air, kacang panjang, kentang, terung, labu ular, labu manis, carrot dan sebagainya untuk melazatkan lagi kari parupu ini. Sayur labu air dengan parupu adalah amat diminati oleh masyarakat Bangladesh atau Nepal. Masyarakat kaum Tamil di Malaysia suka masak parupu dengan tomato, karot, bunga kobis, terung dan tidak ketinggalan dengan ubi kentang. Anda juga boleh cuba resepi kari parupu dengan sayur-sayuran dan boleh tambah dengan daging ayam atau daging dan tukarkan menjadi DALCA yang sangat enak untuk makan dengan Nasi minyak, nasi tomato atau nasi beriani. Cara ini lebih komprensif dari resepi DALCA yang sebenar.
