Appadiya!!!... Will chk out at the pazhamudhir near my place... I don't think they carry it... neenga endha pazhamudirla paartheenga?... stadium pazhamudiraa?

I saw it at People's park. I think all of them have the fresh one - in the exotic ( :roll:) cold storage. Dried parsley is available in all super markets.

oh...ok...will chk it out...:)

Barley being a grain, has soluble fibre that regulates our stomachs,prevents water retention and cleanse our urinary system by flushing out all toxins from our body.
Barley water is the best supplementary drink when our children are unwell. When they are down with fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Its so hot in Malaysia now.
This is a very cooling drink.

BARLEY DRINK

Ingredients:

100 grms pearl barley
3 screw pine leaves for flavouring
1500 ml water
Rock sugar to taste

Method:
Wash the barley well to remove the white powder.
Bring the water to boil in a big pot.
Add in the washed barley and bring to boil again.
Simmer till the barley becomes soft and the water turns
slightly milky. It will take about 40 minutes.
Add in the pandan leaves and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and discard the pandan leaves.
Drain and keep the cooked barley separately.
( the cooked barley will make the drink slimy, if you do not
remove immediately)
Add rock sugar to taste. Add 1 tbs of the cooked barley into
a glass and pour the chilled or warm barley and serve with a straw.

Kugan,
Yesterday I had a get togather at my house and I had made the idils(kushboo ones). Followed the measurements. The idilis were soft much like what I would normally do. My guest enjoyed them. Thanks for the recipe.

Suja

Dev, normally I will do the banana boat with 3 different flavours of ice creams. vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
The sauces too, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and peanut butter sauce.
This is if you are having a children's party.
Just for the house you can use one flavour and do.

If different please post your type.

K, my bread pizza is very similar to urs... I don't use pineapple... also I saute the vegs a bit... maththapadi same... I also like to use pasta sauce (tomato base)whenever I have it on hand... My preferred brands were Leggos & prego...

Welcome back Selvi..:)

kugan and dev,
thanks a lot. nice to see all receipes.
short trip we went to the neighbouring country by road, both of us drove all the way. so it was very tired.
i missed the thread alot.

selvi

kugan,
bread pizza looks great. i also make the same type slight variation of vegges, i add coloured capsicum, black olives. pineapple i never tired. rest same.
selvi

dev,
radish chutney was superb, i made in friend's place. everybody liked it. thanks dev. it exactly came like kugan.

we stayed in our friends place. she made sandwich and saved the corner of the bread. with that she made bread pakoda, it was very nice and she served with basil leaves chutney.

she sprinkle some water on the bread corners and crumbled with hand, add lots of chopped onions, grated ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, green chillies chopped finely, hing, besan flour little. mix all the above ingredients to a batter and just fried in the oil like pakoda. it was very tasty. instead of making vada, for a bigger crowd, this is easy to prepare.

Basil leaves chutney, she took 2 tblsp of coconut grated, 1 tsp grated ginger, pottukadalai 4 tblsp, basil leaves - handful grind in the mixier nicely, this chutney is watery. very tasty with pakoda, idli and dosas. she also told me that we can try with coriander , pudhina.
selvi

Aarthi,

selvi

Aarthi,

selvi

selvi

Nithi,

looooooooooooong time noooooooooo see, how r u? here we r fine. drop in whenever u get time.
selvi

Selviem, thanks for the two nice recipes.
Its a nice way of using up the bread corners.

I usually do not trim the bread edges while making sandwiches.
I know the sandwiches will look neat with the edges trimmed.

Some people will make bread pudding with the bread corners.
Your friends idea is a good one.

I will try the basil chutney and see.
Do you make flavoured yogurt for your children?
Thanks again Selviem.

Nithi ma, how are you?
You must be very busy I guess.
We all miss you, Superspicy and Shanthy.
Do drop in when ever time permits.
Take care Nithi. Thanks Kugan98
