Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

Suvai, thanks for your beautiful post.
Glad that you liked both the recipes.

Thanks Suvai for your comforting words.
Yes, we were all shaken a bit even though Rubenee has not left.

Give us the feed back on the cake and biscuit.
The school holidays have started. I have to cook somethings for the children.
They are demanding cookies , sandwiches, cakes and things.

I have asked Sumithira Senthil to help.:-D
She promised to post her chillie potatoes soon.
She has mailed me a butter cookie recipe.
I tried it out today. It turned out well.

I have asked her to register in the forum and buy a digital camera:smokesmirk:
Then I can relax a bit:rotfl:

Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Try out this simple biscuit. It can be made in a jiffy:-D



BUTTER COOKIES

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour.
2 cups of butter
1 cup castor sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease baking trays with melted butter.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and baking soda once.
Cream the butter and sugar until it becomes fluffy.
Now add the sieved flour slowly into the butter mixture.
Mix well till it becomes a smooth dough.
It should not be sticky or too dry.

Now take little dough, the size of a big marble.
Roll it into round balls. Then flatten a little with your palms.
Arrange the cookies in the tray, leaving a gap in between.
Bake for about 20 minutes on 180 degrees C.

Once cooked, remove the trays, and let it rest for about 5 minutes,
before transferring to a container.
Let it cool well before storing in an airtight container.

Dear friends, Rose requested for this pickle.
All my elderly aunties love this pickle. They always ask me to prepare for them. I think they love garlic for its goodness.
Here is the recipe. Kugan98


NYONYA GARLIC PICKLE

Ingredients:

300 grms small garlic pips skinned whole.
Little sugar
Little salt
Enough vinegar to soak all the garlic.


3 tbs red chillie paste
4 tbs shallot paste
2 tbs oil, or little more
Little sugar
Little salt
Little vinegar.

Method:

Peel the garlic pips and leave them whole.
Dry the garlic well, put them in a dry bottle.
Add in the salt, sugar and fill the container with vinegar
to cover the garlic. Leave it aside for 3 days.
After 3 days, drain all the vinegar. Discard the vinegar.

Heat a wok with the oil. add in the chillie paste and shallot paste.
Cook on medium heat till the raw smell goes and oil seperates.
Now add in the drained garlic pips. Give a good stir.
Add in little salt and sugar to taste.
Add in also new vinegar. Stir nicely, do not allow the garlic to cook.
The garlic pips should be still crunchy.
Remove, let it cool nicely. Store in glass bottle.

NOTE: You can less the chillie paste and onion paste if you want less sambal in the pickle.

Dev and Suvai, thanks a lot for your nice posts.
Thanks Suvai for trying out Dev's recipe.

You have tempted me to try the recipe soon.

Dev, what happened to the picture you posted in page 157, for the sweet lime pickle. The picture has disappeared.

What happened to our friends, Sudha, Madhu, Aarthii, of course Selviem is busy and NM is recovering from her leg pain.

Its o.k ladies, take your time. Your work comes first.
Even our NOV anneh is missing for sometime. No comments from him.

Take care, Kugan98
