Kugan's Kitchen Part 4

Welcome Nithi, after a long time.
Apaapa konjam vanthu poongga.

Try the simple tomato rice.
I will post soon a simple vathal kulambu.
Take care, Kugan98

Suvai nga, thanks for the nice post.
I just added "pottukadadalai" for a change.
You can even add roasted groundnuts in the
end as a garnish. Thanks, Kugan98

Suvai nga and Dev, potato chops na, is mashed potato made into patties, or they have fillings.
What you ate in Sudhama's house must be a
potato masala. They named it as potato chops I think


Well Suvai nga has given a recipe.
I too have one given by my North Indian friend.

Let me try both and post the pictures.
Dev ,you can see how the recipe looks like,
or it is entirely a different recipe.
Thanks, Kugan98

K, I din't have lunch at Sudha's place. So ange enna maadhiri chops serve panninnanganu theriyalai. But generalaa inga serve pannura chops is something like sliced potato coated in a strong masala and onion mix. It is usually deep red or brown in color. Recipe therinja podunga. It is not the patties kindof thing.

Hi Dev / k

Potato chops romba padu paduthudhu pola.

yes. Dev did not have lunch. If only she was there for lunch, should would have easily clarified.

This was something like senaikizhangu masala curry.

It was thick slices of one inch with masala coated (with onion, garlic and other masalas) in brown colour. This only the caterer calls as potato chops.

Thanks Dev and Sudha.

Take care friends, Kugan98

Selviem enna aachi? Potato chops teriyumaa? :?

:lol:

Naanga thedum recipe post pannuravangalukku "chops queen" pattam valangapadum...:P :lol2:

i think they will deep fry potato strips which is already marinated with red chilly pdr, garam masala, garlic, rice flour .

then in a pan, pour oil, onions, basic masalas like red chilly pdr, coriander pdr, curry powder and the fried potato strips i think.

this can be done in potato, chenaikilagu, tapico, tender jackfruit.

is it correct gals???
