Kugan's Kitchen Part 2

kuganka apple jam looks great .My lil prince likes apple jam very much.Defintely going to try it.Thanks kuganka.

kuganka,one doubt,can we make the jam only with red apples?

K, inniku evening murungaikeerai soup inge... it was tasty & easy to make... Thanks a lot Kugan...:)

Dev, thanks for your nice comments, feed backs and tips.

I am happy that you liked the soup.
Dev, normally we use few green apples, because
we have natural pectin more in the green apples.
other wise you have to buy pectin powder and use about
1 tsp for the jam to set or to thicken.

you can try with red apples, but add in 1 tsp of dissolved geletin
into the jam to help to set.
Thanks. Kugan98

Selviem glad that your friend liked the coffee cake.

Try the Malaysian dessert, its very easy.
We have lot of nice local desserts here.
Most of them use the sticky rice or its flour.
Do you get the sticky rice in your place.?
We call it pulut. Thais use a lot of this rice.

Thanks Selviem. Kugan98

Aarthii, I am glad that you are trying out new recipes.
Infact all of us are doing now.

Feel so happy to know that we all share recipes,
and cook new items in our houses.

Aarthii I have replied Dev about the red apples.
Thanks and take care. Kugan98

Dev, you were asking about a brown cake.
It would be cut into diamond shapes.
Fresh coconut would have been sprinkled on it.
If its the one, then I have posted the recipe.
I will look up and tell you the page.
If not please describe to me how it looks.

Dev at this stage, I must salute to you.
If not for you, it would be soooo difficult to find
what recipe I have posted, or where to find it.
THANKS, THANKS for the recipe Index. :notworthy: :notworthy:
