Hi Steemit Food Lovers,

Another wonderful day went by peacefully. I was very happy today because my yesterday food diary was selected for the Best Steem Foods Post of the Day. Now I will share with you what I did today.

Morning : Breakfast Time

Today also I woke up around 07:30 am. Our country is in a mess with Covid new variant Delta. So everyone is thinking about health and immune system booster foods. Today I thought of preparing Red Rice Porridge as breakfast because of that.

Red rice has a high nutritional value and a nutritious taste. It is very easy to prepare. These are the Ingredients I have used.

Cup of red rice
Water
Pinch of salt
Garlic
Black pepper powder

The cooking steps are really easy, First I washed the red rice and put it in a bowl. Then I filled it with water about 2 inches high to cover the rice. Then I added Garlic and a pinch of salt to the rice. Let the rice cook with garlic well for about 15min. Once cooked, remove it from the cooker and leave it for a while. Then add Black pepper powder as per your taste and blend it well to make the porridge.

Afternoon : Lunch Time

Since we had only rice porridge for the breakfast I knew that we will be hungry soon. So I went to the kitchen a little early again to prepare the lunch. We had eaten rice almost every day since the lockdown (for about 10 days continually). So I wanted to do something different today.

After checking the refrigerator I decided that I'm going to prepare Kottu with Chicken Curry for lunch today. It is famous street food in Sri Lanka and one of my husband's favorite. Since we cannot go outside to taste such foods this has to be the perfect lunch 😍

Evening: Shopping Time

In the evening the vegetable lorry came near our house. Because of lockdown I cannot go shopping as usual. I have to wait for such lorries or any delivery system. When they come near our home only we purchase foods these days.

These are the purchased vegetables for next few days. I do not purchase big quantities as it is only me and my husband. For us this is enough for at least 05days. As the lorry belongs to a local vendor he didn't provide any bill, however the cost for all the vegetables was 05 Steem in total. It was quite cheap compares to the market price.

Evening: Dinner Time

Dinner preparation took a little late today. For the dinner I prepared Backed Fish.

Ingredients for Baked Fish

A midimum size Fish (Red Mullet)
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tea spoon,
Chilly Powder - 1 tea spoon,
Lemon Juice - 1 tea spoon,
Pepper powder - 1 tea spoon,
Garlic - 1 tea spoon,
Ginger - 1 tea spoon,
Salt as per your taste,

For the preparation I have made a paste out of all the ingredients and marinate the fish with the paste. Then I covered and store the fish in the refrigerate for 01 hour. I have used a air fryer for backing, so put the fish in a oil paper and bake it for 30mins.
