We use blenders mostly to blend chillies, onions, garlic, ginger etc to assist us in our daily cooking. But blenders can do so much more.
Well let's go one up and use the blender to blend the bananas to make Kueh Kodok or Cekodok (as some people call it).
This will help to prevent the stodginess using the normal hand blend method. It will be easier to make bite size, non stodgy kodok and much more inviting to the palate.
Let's put your kitchen appliance to good use by making our easy blender recipes!!
KUEH KODOK

6 overripe bananas

Another EASY Blender Kueh Recipe - Simple Kueh Bakar Pandan
Kueh bakar pandan is very similar to what we call kueh bengkang/bingka. It's easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious.
Ingredients
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup pandan juice (Wash and cut 8 pandan leaves to small rectangles. Blend pandan leaves and water until smooth before straining the juice with a sieve)
2 drops of green food colouring
A pinch of salt (optional)
METHOD
Use a blender and mix all the above ingredients and add the pandan juice.
Grease 8 inches square baking tin with a little butter/margarine and put it in the oven for a while before pouring the batter into it.
Transfer the batter out to the greased baking tin.
Sprinkle sparingly on the top with white sesame seeds and baked in the pre-heat oven for 45-55 minutes at 160-180C or until the edges and top are golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of the kueh comes out clean.
Cool before serving.

Watermelon Juice
To make this homemade juice you just need watermelon, water and a blender. Since watermelon is sweet enough, there is no need to add sugar.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups seedless cubes red watermelon
1 cup cold water
METHOD
Blend together the watermelon and water until fairly smooth in your blender on medium speed. If you can’t get your juice perfectly smooth just by blending, pour it through a fine mesh sieve into a container. Enjoy the watermelon juice over ice, if desired. Simple as that!

Simple & Easy Boiled Chocolate Cake
If you've never tried baking from scratch, try starting with this simple boiled chocolate cake to discover how easy it is.
Ingredients
1 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
200 gm unsalted butter
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Boil all ingredients together for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2 eggs beaten
2 cups self-raising flour
Transfer the mixture to a big bowl and add the flour and egg. Continue stirring until you have a smooth cake batter. Pour into a greased cake tin and bake for approximately 40 minutes at 160-180C.
A good test for checking if the cake is cooked is to insert a wooden skewer into the middle. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked. If it comes out wet, it needs a little longer in the oven.
