Selviem, you are right, its a nice lesson for us.
Even Aishu will ask, does this contain eggs?
For her, only eggs are non-vegetarian she thinks :lol:
Thanks, Selviem.

Selviem, let us know how the valathandu soup was using variations.
Also thanks for the salad recipe.

Selviem, I made your poondu milagu kulambu.
It was very nice with my oats.
Thanks, for the nice recipe.



Milagu Kulambu:
--------------

Pepper - 1 tsp
Red chilly - 2
coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 /4 tsp
small onion - 10
Coconut grated - 2 tsp

Fry all the above ingredients one by one separately and grind to a fine paste.

Seasoning:
---------

Gingelly oil - 2 tblsp
kadukku - 1 tsp
urad dhal - 1/2 tsp
karu vadagam - 2 pinches
curry leaves - few

In a kadai, add oil and add the seasoning items one by one, then add one pod of garlic peeled and slices, fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the ground paste, fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the tamarind extract of one small lemon size , 1/2 cup of water , required salt , turmeric powder. cover and cook till the garlic is cooked and the gravy should be lightly thick. This is very good to eat with steam rice.

I had few visitors from India.
One of them was an very elderly lady.
She saw a packet of detox tea on my table.
She advised me, and gave me a recipe for herbal detox drink.
She said not only it gets rid of the toxin in your body, it also
slims your body. Thanks. Kugan98



HERBAL DETOX DRINK.

Ingredients:
1 tsp aniseeds
1 tsp coriander seeds, pound a little
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ginger grated
1 tsp tulasi leaves.
2 litres of water

Method:
Boil 2 litres of water in a pot.
When it is really boiling , add in all the spices.
Close the pot with a thick cover.
Off the fire, and let the spices infuse
in the boiling water for about 10 minutes.
Later strain the water and use it to drink the whole day.
You can even keep it in a flask to keep it warm if you like.
Try it for a month and see.

Selviiem, I am still not over the shock of gelatine.
You know they have the jelly crystals, in different flavours, they too use the gelatine to set the jelly.
I have made different types of jellies, for the children :oops:
I feel very ashamed. Thanks. Kugan98

Kugan - not all jellies use gelatin. I usually buy Weikfield, which says it contains no gelatin, and is 100% vegetarian. I haven't thought about this while buying jujupes :oops:

The same is the case with cheese, where rennet is used. But, most Indian cheese mfrs do not use rennet,- Amul for sure. But unless specifically stated, most foreign cheeses are made with rennet. Worcestershire sauce, silver warq used on sweets, chammandhi podi in Kerala hotels(it is fish chammandhi in many places)... the list goes on, though we don't give it a thought :roll:

Correct not all use gelatin, here in UK u have veggie jellies ...

kugan,

i also made milagu curry for oats yesterday.

from tomorrow i will try the herbal drink. we can have instead of water i hope.
