Thanks NM, I cannot remember any left overs in our house.
What my grand mother will do is, she will have a clay pot.
Every day she will pour 1 big karandi of kulambu whatever she cooks in the pot.
She will do this for a week, she will heat the contents daily.
End of the week, she will heat the whole contents well, all combined so well.
There will be all kinds of kulambu with all kinds of veges mixed so well.
Then she will mix the kathamba kulambu into steaming hot rice.
shape them into balls, and all of us will have one ball.
I tell you the kulambu will taste like heaven.
So tasty, we all will enjoy the food.
My father-in-law always will make noise that it is bad for health. Well now no grandmother, to make and no father-in-law to make noise :cry2: :cry2:
Thanks, Kugan98

2 cloves
2 star anise
3 cardamons
2 eggs beaten with a pinch of salt

Gals,
so nice of u all. i really laughed after seeing all the messages.
i took in a sportive way. participation is very important. (which i use to tell my children always).
as u all said, tastewise it was so good. but may be it is not that much attractive like non-veg.
my kids told there only, surely judges will select non-veg.
For this competition what i thought was, i should be an example for my kids,
not to hesitate in participating. either loss or win we should accept it.
thanks a lot friends, u all r really great.
:ty:
dev,
i will check the index for thai red curry paste and try through next week.
suvai,
pudhina potato is very tempting, have to try at the earliest.
You should try and enter into a program called master chef, I think they mainly do this show in UK and Australia 8-)Quote:

Hi ladies, I am back, after a 10-day absence, being stationed in Borneo Island.
Thanks K for your wishes and everything else. Go ahead and upload your pix; will enable them.
Raghu, pls don't continually chat here. 8-)
Hi Mrs K,
For chapati, i used to make these as well :)
Potatoe with green peas/mix vege and
keema but with minced mushrooms.. both tasted yum.
For the potatoes :
You will need
A : 4-5 peeled and cubed (1cm cubes)
B : Some frozen mix vegetables containing sweet corn, cubed carrots and green peas (alternatively, if you prefer, cube some carrots very small, take some sweet corn, grean peas) - for 4-5 medium potatoes, you will need about 4-5 tablespoons of this mix vege.
C : Masala mix (1tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp fennel powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric and chilli powder to your taste)
D : 1/2 tsp mustard seed, 1 cinnamon stick, 2-3 cloves, 2-3 star aniseed,
E : 1 whole onions - sliced or chopped, 1 full tsp grated/chopped ginger, dried chillies 3, curry leaves 1 sprig, 2 chopped tomatoes
Salt
In a pan, put some oil and thaalichhi the spices in D and add in the onions, ginger, dried chillies and curry leaves. Saute till you have a nice fragrant and the onions begin to caramelize. Add tomatoes. mix and leave for 1-2 mins, Add water, mix and cook till the tomatoe is soft.
Now add the potatoes, sprinkle the masala mix (C), add water to cover the potatoes and leave to cook until potatoe is fully cooked (you may need to add water in between so it doesn't dry up).
After the potatoe is cooked, add in B and salt and mix well.
Cook for another 5 mins.
You can lightly mash the potatoes as you're mixing the mxi vege to give it a thick texture and potatoe is not 'bulk'.
It is now ready to be served.
You may also try this without the chillie powder.
