Kugan,
How r u? how is ur health? So many recipes u have posted... very kind of u..... Kugan do u have the "Brinji Rice". I was having that, but i missed it..If u have means pls post it...
:ty:
Welcome Nithisri, how are you?
Thanks for your nice post. It was Dev, who requested for the chicken recipe. Sometimes we think it is a simple village recipe.
Thats the one it will be tasty. Have to thank Dev for asking me the recipe. Please drop in when you are free. Kugan98
Suvai, thanks for your nice post.
Suvai, what I did was, take the skinless urad dal.
Dry roast the dal on medium flame till the dal changes colour and a nice aroma will be there. Let it cool nicely. Use your dry grinder and grind it in your mixie. If you have a sieve , sieve the flour and grind again. Here in Malaysia too, we will get the urad flour only during Deepavali seasons.
Thank you, Kugan98
O.K Dev, give me sometime, I will post all your requests.
Year coming to end, have to get ready all the school things for 5 children. Rubenee's PMR results coming tomorrow.
Konjam tension.
Dev, you can use kovakkai and do the zuchini pepper fry.
It will taste better with kovakkai. Cut it into wedges.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
bkarthika, how are you? have been missing for sometime.
Well the brinjji rice is done in two ways, with vegetables and without vegetables. Well tomorrow I am cooking the brinjii rice without the vegetables for lunch. I wanted to cook a different type of potato rice, I changed my mind after seeing your request. I will post the recipe with the picture.
Note: A special lunch for Rubenee.
My dear friends, our friend Aarthii is missing for sometime.
I sent her an e-mail, and also no reply from her.
She does not stay away from the forum for a long time.
Also she will always mail me to tell if there is anything wrong.
I am very worried about her. I do not have her phone no.
Let us all pray that she is only busy and that all are safe and sound. God, Bless Aarthi's family. Kugan98
[tscii]Rose here is your request. This is also a village recipe.

[tscii]Dev, this dish brings back memories of Olive Garden in US.
For us this dish will be very bland.
Thats why I use the marinara sauce. Kugan98
SPAGHETTI AGLI ALIO
Ingredients:
400 grms of dried spaghetti
½ cup olive oil
4 pips garlic finely chopped
2 large red chillies finely chopped
2 tbs parsley finely chopped
½ tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Method:
Boil the spaghetti in a big pot of salted water.
Stir well and boil until the pasta is al dente.
That is it will be soft if you press between your two fingers.
While the pasta is being cooked, combine the oil, chillie and garlic
In a small pan. Cook over low heat to allow the oil to absorb
the flavours. The garlic should be golden brown.
Drain the cooked pasta and return it to a large pan over low heat.
Sim the fire very low, pour the oil mixture over the pasta.
Add in the parsly, mix thoroughly so all the pasta is well coated with oil.
Season with salt and black pepper powder. Serve hot.
NOTE: I usually serve this with marinara sauce, and some steamed veges.

K, thanks for the recipe... here they use chilli flakes...so it is usually spicy enough for us... Also they add sauteed capsicum an it is yummmmm!!!... will try with these changes and I am sure I'll get the taste I'm looking for...:)
I do use chillie flakes in other recipes.
But the above recipe does not use chillie flakes
or capsicum. Just the garlic, dried chillie and the oil.
Thanks, Kugan98
[tscii]My son came home from his friend’s house with a
scribbled recipe. He said his friend’s mother made it for tea,
and it was very tasty. So here is the recipe.
SPICY BAKED POTATOES.
Ingredients:
3 russet potatoes cut into wedges with skin.
½ a cup of mayonise
1 tbs hot chillie sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
½ tsp of seasonings
1 cup of finely crushed cornflakes.
Method:
Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges.
Keep them dry.
Mix together, the mayo, chillie sauce, garlic salt and seasonings.
Now take a potato wedge and dip nicely in the mayo mix.
Then roll it in the cornflakes mixture.
Grease a tray and arrange the slices in the tray.
Bake in an preheated oven at 150 degrees C.
Till the potatoes are golden brown.
Serve with tomato sauce or you can eat as it is.
NOTE: I did not have cornflakes, so I used breadcrumbs.
