Kugan, I was just pulling ur legs!!!... cooking oru kadal, naam ellam adhil chinna fish thaan...:)
I do make a cucumber side dish to go with phulkas... very simple... peel chop salad cucmbers after removing the seed if it's too mature... heat lil oil...splutter mustard... add the cucumber chilly pw,salt- mix well & cook for a min...switch off flame & add lemon juice... cucumber should still be crunchy even after all cooking...don't overcook it... It's a quick fix recipe & quite tasty too... learnt it from a cousin who was doing her catering science then...:)
I would love to have her bittergourd recipes... I do make the normal kulambu, poriyal, varuval, deep fry with it... adding semi ripe mangoes to bittergourd helps mask its bitterness... recipe was from here... http://happyburp.blogspot.com/2006/0...ngo-curry.html
Hi Kugan,
Onga potato pachadi came out good!.....ithu enna thaan first kelvi.........nalla iruku adutha pathil ;-) so u scored here too....thank u nga!
selvi ka thanks for the corn crunchy salad .. :)
Yesterday i made carrot Halwa , adichu pidichu gaali panitanga , turned out very well
Kugan ka , Vangibath looks perfect
Try slicing the brinjals length wise, changes the entire recipe, amma makes it this way . Its just another variation :)
kugan,i cut brinjal in tiny pieces for vangibath, it is very tasty. with the same procedure we can make capsicum rice. Green capsicum is good for that. Coloured one will give sweet taste. Also with valakai also we can make. That also taste very good.
