Hi K, I want to try fried veg.. but I dont like the smell of oyster sauce. Can we use anything else in place of this?

Cauliflower recipe looks interesting.

Roshan, long life, I was just thinking of you today.
I remember you asking for vathal kulambu.
I have posted the recipe before, very mouth watering.
You know now having problem with the index.
I will go through and find the recipe and post for you.

As for the stir fried vegetables, its o.k to omit the oyster sauce.
Do the rest as per recipe.
The vegetarian oyster sauce contains, water, sugar, modified starch.
caramel, mushroom powder, carrot powder, celery powder,
permitted flavouring and preservatives.
No real oyster. Thanks Kugan98

Thanks K for the response. I will try the fried vegetable during week end. Yeah will appreciate the vatha kozhambu recipe. Dev posted a couple of options, would liek to see yours too. Vatha Kozhambu is really mouth watering. Loved it so much when I had it in Chennai.

Thanks a lot K and NOV...:) will this dish be slightly sour?...

K, have sent u a pm... pls chk...:)
