Dear friends, NOV anneh's AMMA'S prayers are over.
Let us all pray for her soul to rest in peace.
I am sure she is resting at the Lotus Feet of Lord Siva.
AMMA rest in peace.Thank you very much for your prayers and kind words.
Allow me to repost what I posted in my facebook -

As I end the 16-day mourning period, my thoughts turn to the essence of Gita, which helps us understand our station in this mortal world.
We need constant reminders that the only thing constant in this world is Change.
Let peace prevail.....

Hello Kannan anneh, thanks for your nice post.
Anneh, the cranberry is just like our sour mango, so you can make the sweet patchadi, or thokku as one pleases.
Not necessary to add lot of kaaram.

So happy that the kadalai urundai came out nice in your house.
I just made pori urundai, sundal for prayers.

Adada, what happened to the masal vadai?
Sangeetha made it and it came nice for her, she posted the picture to me.

Welcome to Kugan's Kitchen forum Peter Sir.
Very happy to know that you have tried few recipes.
I have posted few mushroom recipes, curry and masala.
Of course without chicken or mutton.
Since I am a vegetarian I can try with tofu or mock meat.
Hope you would be with us.
Take care.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Ingredients:

1 ½ cu[ps of whole milk
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar

2 cups heavy cream
50 grms of melted dark chocolate
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

Whisk together milk, cocoa powder and sugar to combine.
The sugar should have completely dissolved.

Stir in heavy cream, melted chocolate and vanilla.
Freeze it for at least 2 hours until firm.

Remove from fridge, use a fork to break out the mixture.
Blend it using a hand held beater for few seconds.
Return the mixture to the freezer for another 3 hours.

You might need to repeat the process at least twice for a smoother texture.
Freeze the mixture over night and you are ready for a scoop.
Store your ice cream in an air tight plastic container at the back of the freezer.

kugan: Guess what? I was browsing the cook book section in a book store and found books on "Clay Pot Cooking". I thought of buying a book for aunty. Then, I remembered that she had installed an induction cook top requiring cast iron vessels ! :( If you want one I will send you one. You may have to import clay pots from India ! :lol:

[kugan98]

Thanks for the Warm Welcome Kugan Ji. :D :D :D


You are welcome Peter. Sangeetha has given few links to the mushroom recipes.
What I will do is I will alter one recipe and add in chicken for you to show.

You can do this to all the mushroom recipes.
If you are adding mutton, just boil the mutton with little ginger garlic paste, salt and chillie powder.
see that there is not much liquid, add this to the cooking before adding the mushrooms.

The mutton or chicken have to be proportionate with the mushroom.
Thalai suthutha ? do not worry, I will write out the recipe for you.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

Kannan anna, no chance of masala vadai going wrong.
Do not soak for long hours, drain completely of water.
grind to a coarse paste, add in the cut chilli, ginger , curry leaves and onions.
add salt little aniseeds, pat, pat into hot oil.
I am taking the next flight to your place.

½ tbs coriander leaves chopped

Method:
Take the idlis and with your fingertips, , crumble the idlis slowly
If your idlis are very dry just sprinkle little water. (I did not do it. )

Heat oil in a non stick wok, add in the mustard seeds and let it crackle.
Add in the dry red chillis, urad dal and the channa dal.
Roast them till they become golden brown.

Add in the onions, green chillies, ginger curry leaves and little salt.
Saute till the onions turn slightly brown.
Add in the crumbled idlis, lemon juice, and gently toss and mix well.
Cook over medium low flame to prevent the upma from sticking to the pan.

Remove and garnish with the cut coriander leaves.
Serve as it is or with any chutney.

NOTE: some like to add in grated coconut, but it is optional.

Kuganka, hats off to you. The soya chicken varuval was fantastic. Your method of boiling the soya to get rid of the smell is super. We had guests and they asked me how come your soya does not have that funny smell.

Every one enjoyed the dish very much Kuganka. Thanks a lot for the recipe.
Now I know how to boil the soya for different dishes.
Thanks again Kuganka.

3 idli rice 1/2 cup raw rice and 1 cup urad dal. keep it for both idli and dosa. grind it in mixie. i have grinder but never used it on my own. so afraid.


Dear Sangeetha, the measurements for the idli and dosai, always will make our head go round.

My great grandmother, and all the down line use only this measurement.


2 cups of Ponni pulungal arisi
1 cup whole urad dal
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/4 tsp of funugreek seeds
salt to taste


Soak the rice for about 5 hours.
The urad dal and funugreek seeds for an hour.

grind the urad dal till fluffy, do not use lot of water.
use the water in which you soaked the urad dal.
once done remove and keep aside.

now grind the rice with the cooked rice.
grind smooth, but little grainy.
Mix the two batter with salt, beat well with your hand.
Let it ferment for at least 8 to 9 hours.
you get super soft idlis.


NOTE, I have not tried with idli rice.
Sorry if I confused you. You can continue your own method if you feel happy.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

Dear Sangeetha I asked my aunt for the masala cashew nuts.
She gave me a recipe, where you roast the cashew nuts before adding the seasonings.
She told me if you want it healthy, you roast it, otherwise you can fry it in oil.
Well I roasted the cashew nuts in the oven. Try it out Sangeetha.
Kugan.



ROASTED MASALA CASHEW NUTS

Ingredients:

200 grms of whole cashew nuts
1 litre water
1 tbs salt


1 tsp butter
2 pips of garlic chopped
1 sprig of curry leaves.
Fine salt if needed

Method:
Bring the water to boil in a pot. Add in the salt and stir to dissolve.
Add in the whole cashew nuts, stir once.
Once all the cashew nuts start to float, remove and drain well.
Dry on a kitchen towel.

Spread the cashew nuts on an ungreased baking tray.
Bake in preheated oven at 120 degrees C, for an hour.
Give them a good stir every 20 minutes.

Mean while, heat a seasoning spoon or a wok.
Add in the butter, once it melts, add in the chopped garlic.
Saute until slightly brown with aroma, add in the curry leaves.
Stir fry and remove. Keep aside.

Remove the roasted cashew nuts from the oven, while still hot, add in the garlic seasonings.
Sprinkle little fine salt if needed, toss well.
Cool completely then transfer to airtight container.

K, can you please send me the cashew nuts? I will pay as much cash for the cashews :slurp: :slurp: :slurp: :slurp: :slurp: :slurp:


I use this proportion for foolproof idli/thosai: 1 cup normal pulungal arisi, 1 cup pachai arisi, 1 cup kurna arisi, 1 cup ulundhu. Soak altogether and grind altogether. Add a bit cooked rice when grinding, that's it. The hand beating is very very important.

Thanksgiving is like Harvest festival in other countries (pongal in Tamilnadu) giving thanks for the year's harvest. :)

Aunty harvested some jasmine flowers ! :) A grandson arrived on Oct 3. :)

The menu is as usual baked stuffed(spicy) turkey, cranberry sauce and sweet potato! :lol: We are in San Francisco with our sons,daughter in law and grand children. Aunty will make whatever else they want. This is our family get together time! :)

It has been commercialized too much! We don't go shopping during Thanksgiving Holidays.

I do not know the reason why the moong dal was hard.
I just soaked it for about 3 hours, drained it and dried it with out moisture.
Fried it in hot oil, removed and added, fine salt and hing powder.

Any reasons any one knows?
Thanks, Kugan.

Here is Meerra's Spread:

Dear Sudha, so nice to see your post.

Sudha, that's how my great grandma taught our family.
I am sure we get fluffy idlis, by using the cooked rice.
Even for aapam, we only use pachai arisi with with little cooked rice.
The aapam would come that fluffy.

The measurement that I gave gives fluffy idli every time.
You can even use idli rice with the measurement.

I have yet to try NOV anneh's measurement.
No time to go out to purchase the noi arisi.

Thanks Sudha, take care, Kugan.

My dear friends, if you say Mysore bonda, I will only think about urad dal bonda.

½ tsp coarsely crushed black pepper

Method:

Whisk together the curd and water, keep aside.
In a bowl, add in the maida flour , rice flour, cooking soda and salt.

Do you get nice chilli sauce in your country?
Other wise I can post a simple recipe to make the chilli sauce.

Thanks kugan ! :) It was fun. The grandchildren were more fun. :)

I will ask my son for pizza recipe. He is generally slow in responding. Besides, he makes pizza in a special oven made to his specifications. :lol:


He took some pictures and I don't know when he will upload and email me. When I get them I will forward them to you. :)

Madhu anneh, I always make pizza with, capsicum, mushroom, onions, pineapples, and tomatoes.
I do not like olives. The cheese is the only costly item in pizza making.
Otherwise pizza is that damn cheap if you make your own.

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies (Makes 1 dozen brownies)


3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl combine sugar, softened butter, and water. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Stir in egg and vanilla extract, mix well. Add flour and baking soda, stir until combined. Allow the batter to cool to room temperature (doesn't take very long). Then, stir in 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter evenly into Reynolds Staybrite muffin cups.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into centre comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centres to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centres with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still war spoon about a tablespoon full of peanut butter into the centre of each brownie. Top with remaining 1/3 cup of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cool completely in pan.
Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. To reheat the brownies just pop ‘em in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Thanks Rose for your nice post.

As for me it is fool proof recipe only:-D:-D

You can use any toppings of your choice.
This time I made pizza with white sauce. It turned out great, try it.
Thanks and take care Kugan.

[kugan98]

Dear Rose here is the pizza recipe for you. Enjoy. Kugan


FOOL PROOF PIZZA

Ingredients:

2 tsp dry yeast
1 tbs sugar
¼ cup warm water
Mix all together in a covered container, and keep aside to become frothy


1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbs milk powder
Little pizza seasonings
Mix all together in a bowl and keep ready

½ cup warm water
1 tbs oil
Mix together in the water


Little flour for kneading
1 tbs of vegetable oil or little more

Method:
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C for 10 minutes.
Use the lowest part of the oven.

Make a well in the middle of the flour in the big bowl.
Add in the frothy yeast and stir with a wooden spoon.
Add in the ½ cup of warm water and knead it into a sticky dough.
Add little flour and the oil, and knead till not sticky to hands.
Now rub the top with little more oil, cover with a wet cloth, and keep in a warm place.

You can punch down the dough 2 times to get a softer dough.
Now on a floured surface roll out the dough, the shape and thickness are your choice.
Use a round baking sheet, oiled and floured.
Lay your pizza over it, you can use your fingers to spread to fit the tray.
Take a fork and prick all over the spread dough.

Now spread lightly with your pizza sauce, leaving a ½ inch all around the pizza.
Sprinkle little cheese on the top of the sauce.
Now you add the toppings of your choice over the pizza. Sprinkle little pizza seasonings on top. You can even put little sauce drops here and there over the toppings.
Brush the outer ½ inch pizza with melted butter for a brown finish.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes on a preheated oven.
Just lift the bottom with a fork to see if the bottom is lightly browned.

Remove from the oven, now sprinkle the grated cheese all over the pizza, covering all parts.
Bake again for few minutes, till the cheese is melted, remove, cut into slices.

Toppings:
Tomato, remove seeds and cut into strips or squares
½ capsicum also remove seeds and cut into same size
½ cucumber cut into thin strips
1 big onion cut into strips
Little tinned button mushroom, cut into slices
Little pineapple, cut into small chunks
Or you can dice the all the toppings, add little salt to it and mix well.
Or lastly you can cut the tomatoes into rings and cover the pizza


The toppings are your wish, you can add cooked shredded chicken.
Or anything that you fancy.
This dough is enough for 1 pizza.


NOTE: This pizza I made with white sauce>

Kuganka, pizza looks very nice. Do you buy your pizza sauce. What type of cheese do you use?
What do you mean by white sauce? I am not that clever in making pizza.
Your recipe looks very simple to follow.

Kuganka. Thanks for the pizza recipe. I tried and it turned out super. First I was scared about the dough as it eas sticky.
I added little flour as you said and kneaded the dough and it turned out smooth.
I bought the pizza sauce from the supermarket. Do you have a recipe for pizza sauce?
I also used the mozzarella and Pamersone cheese that they have already grated in packet in the supermarket.
( I asked the sales girl there for it)
Thanks Kuganka, no more pizza buying. It is cheap to make at home.

I learnt a new healthy thing from the guest. while making brownies or cake instead of maida flour or egg one can use fermented ulundu mavu. soak ulundu and grind it smoothly and fermant it for the effect of an egg. she made walnut chocolate brownies and it was so lickering and no one realized there was no maida or egg.

K i think u wud be happy to know this for replacing eggs. one day same craving and we did not have ulundu mavu she made it in idly mavu and it turned out good too.

Raw Cashew Coconut Fudge

1 cup raw cashews
3 raw dates
2 tablespoons raw unsweetened coconut shreds, divided into two tablespoons
Soak cashews in enough water to cover for 1 hour. Drain and discard water.

Place cashews, dates, and 1 tablespoon of coconut shreds in a high powered blended and process until smooth. (If your blender has a tough time getting through it, add 1 tablespoon of raw coconut oil to thin.)

Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to solidify.

Use your hands to form small balls from the "fudge" before rolling in the remaining coconut shreds to coat.

Place raw cashew coconut fudge balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour. Remove from freezer 15 minutes prior to serving.

One Bowl Apple Cake - easy to make!!!

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup oil
6 medium Gala or Fuji
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, cinnamon and oil. Peel and slice the apples and add to mixture in bowl, stir in apples as you go. Mix together flour and baking soda and add to the ingredients in the bowl. Mix well (I used a fork) until all of the flour is absorbed. Pour mixture into a greased one 9x13 or a 9 inch spring form. Bake for approximately 55 minutes.

*Tip: watch the last five min cake gets dark on the edges. Adjust the sugar if you have a sweet apple, you may want to use less sugar. I used 6 medium size Gala. Great with Ice cream!!

Easy Baked Berrylicious Oatmeal!!!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup quick oats or a Quaker Oats Instant Medley Cup
1 egg
Handful blueberries, raspberries or strawberries
Sprinkle brown sugar or Stevia
1 tablespoon plain soy or almond milk or even 2 % milk

Directions:
Take a little less than a quarter cup of quick oats, one egg, a small handful of blueberries and some brown sugar or Stevia if you like things sweet, and mix it all up in a coffee mug. If you want your muffin a little moist, add a tablespoon of plain soy milk or almond milk.

Place mixture in the microwave for 1 minute. Watch it carefully since this could overflow.

If the muffin top does not look firm, place back in the microwave 30 seconds at a time.

Once ready, flip mug upside down onto a plate and slice some fresh fruit to decorate.

Curry Leaf Podi

http://www.thestar.com.my/~/media/Images/TSOL/Photos-Upload/Food%20and%20Drink/2014/curry%20leaf%20podi2.ashx/?w=620&h=413&crop=1&


Ingredients
1½ cups firmly packed curry leaves (stems removed)
1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp asafoetida powder
2 tbsp black gram (urad) dhall, rinsed and drained
3-5 dried chillies, soaked to soften and drained
1 piece dried tamarind (assam gelugor)
Salt to taste

Method
Wash the curry leaves and drain well to remove as much water as possible. Dab with a kitchen towel. In a dry frying pan over medium low heat, toss the curry leaves until they are dry and slightly crisp. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low flame. Add mustard seeds and sauté until they start to sputter. Add the asafoetida and dhall. Fry until the dhall turns reddish brown, about two minutes.

Add the dried chillies (use to taste and tolerance to heat) and tamarind. Stir until chillies start to colour and become crisp, one to two minutes.

Add curry leaves and toss together, one minute.

Take mixture off the heat and grind to a powder in a mini blender or food processor (how fine is up to individual taste). Add salt to taste. Cool and store in an air-tight jar.

Dear Sangeetha, the measurements for the idli and dosai, always will make our head go round.

My great grandmother, and all the down line use only this measurement.


2 cups of Ponni pulungal arisi
1 cup whole urad dal
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/4 tsp of funugreek seeds
salt to taste


Soak the rice for about 5 hours.
The urad dal and funugreek seeds for an hour.

grind the urad dal till fluffy, do not use lot of water.
use the water in which you soaked the urad dal.
once done remove and keep aside.

now grind the rice with the cooked rice.
grind smooth, but little grainy.
Mix the two batter with salt, beat well with your hand.
Let it ferment for at least 8 to 9 hours.
you get super soft idlis.


NOTE, I have not tried with idli rice.
Sorry if I confused you. You can continue your own method if you feel happy.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

K I tried this method 2 times both time idly came soft and dosai came so good. but i used idly rice instead of ponni. still it works thansk for the recipe

Here is one recipe which my mom use to prepare and it is my favourite.
I really dont know how my mom prepares, but this how I prepare and yes it tasted the same and looked the same as my mom's recipe.
I use to prepare this on the day when I dont like/want to have onion or garlic.

Simple Keerai poricha kozhambu:

Spinach - 1 bunch
Toor dal - I guess 4 tbsp. (3/4th handful :oops2: seriously this is how I measure :|)
Channa dal - 1.5 tbsp
Redchilli - 4
Coconut shreds - 1 tbsp(optional)
Turmeric - as required.
Salt - as required.
Oil - as required.


Tempering:


Panch puran seeds - 2 tsp or mustard seeds, jeera - 1/2 tsp
urad dal - 1.2 tsp

Method:

Fry channadal and red chille in oil and keep it aside to cool town.
In a wok, add toor dal and required water, cook till toor dal is mashable. Add turmeric powder, salt, spinach, mix it well. Let is cook for about 15 mins.
Now grind channa dal + red chillies +coconut shreds and add the powder to the spinach mixture.
Add a pinch of asofotida/perungaayam, tempered Panch puran seeds or mustard, jeera and urad dal. Mix well. Leave for about 2 mins.

Thats it. Keerai poricha kozhambu is ready. Enjoy as a main dish or a side for thengaai thuvayal rice.

Thanks,

Madhu Sree

Tired of being at home for a yr and doing nothing but some errands.

special regards to K.

PS. Thamby what happened to your health articles. Even if its very rare that you visit the forum please do post your health article. those were very helpful. I still follow the fermentated rice.

K, miss u... seekiram vaanga... (rest eduthuttu vaanga)

Sangeetha... super kalakiteenga :D poricha kozhambu ... my favourite :D

[Madhu Sree]

Hello, ellaarum epdi irukeenga?
chumma bore adikkudhu oru recipe podalaam :P This one is my favourite recipe from my mom.
She does this on some important viradham days like thai krithgai, thai poosam, like that. (when onion and garlic are not used in cooking).
This taste much much tastier than the ones with onion + garlic.

Kathrikkaai podi kari/Kathirikkai Koththamalli fry:

Brinjal (small or big) - 300 gms
Mustard seeds
Oil
Turmeric
Salt

To powder:

5 or 6 red chillies(adjust for spice) - long red chillies
3/4th tablespoon - coriander seeds
1 tablespoon - channa dal (kadalai paruppu)
1 tablespoon - cocunut shreds

Method:

Okies, first cut brinjal into small cubes (if small brinjal then can cut in vertical slices).
In a wok, dry fry channa dal, red chillies, coriander seeds for about a minute or till channa dal turns slightly orangish.
Keep it side and let it cool down. Grind to coarse powder, add cocunut shreds(for more taste, fry for few secs and add :slurp: ), dont grind more, juz put mixer grinder on pulse mode 3 times.

In a wok, add required oil(add more oil for more taste, use cocunut oil for lipsmacking taste :oops: )
Once oil is hot enuff, add mustard seeds, let it splutter.
Add brinjal slices, fry for 2 mins. Add turmeric powder and salt. Close the lid for 2 mins and then open, fry again for a minute(repeat the process till it gets cooked).
Once brinjal is spongy and kind of in a situation of getting mashed (:lol2: see this is how I check whether it is cooked or not),
add the channa dal + red chillies + coriander seeds + cocunut mix powder to brinjal and give a mix.
Thats it !!! Kathrikkaai koththamalli fry is ready to eat. Enjoy with sambar rice or hot paruppu rasam rice or tempered curd rice. :slurp:

Have fun. :thumbsup:

Sangeetha, thank you very much for all the recipes that you have posted. We miss our Kuganka a lot. You and Nov are posting recipes. I am sure Kuganka would feel very happy when she comes back.
I feel very bad when some one asks for recipe, Kuganka would have given the next day itself. I remember one Petston asking for mushroom recipe. I am not a good cook, I learnt my cooking all from Kugan's Kitchen. I asked all around and one friend gave me this mushroom recipe. Sorry I have no time to cook and take photo. I am posting the recipe as how my friend gave me.
