Hi friends,

This is a msg from Mrs.Mano:

As she is in India, could not access the forumhub site from her PC due to some problem and hence, no answers from her; soon, she will be posting replies for all the queries.

Thanks.

Dear friends!

I came to Tamilnadu last week and since then I could'nt access the new hub from my laptop as well as from any Internet Centre. My friends here are also facing the same problem. Therefore I am posting this through my son. Soon I will post all of my replies through him.

Thanks

Dear Nov !

Could you please send me any suggestions that could help me to access your website? My Email address: smano8@yahoo.com

Dear Mrs. Mano,

I made Sarkkarai Pongal and Snake Gourd kootu as per your recipe. (Just substituted Steamed Tofu for coconut as I am trying to reduce the fat calories in my diet). Even my kids who usually refuse to eat kootu relished it yesterday.

Thanks

Hi dsankaran,

How long should we steam the tofu?

About 12 minutes.. same as for Idli. Hope that helps!

Dear Mrs.Mano,
I made the "vegetable Biryani" u had posted recently and it was heavenly.Between me and my husband it got over pretty quickly.The taste was irresistible.

Thanks and regards,
Suganthi.

Hello R!

You can substitute jaggery for sugar in the same sweet.

Dear Suganthi!

Thanks a lot for the feedback on kuska briyani.
