Kugan's Kitchen
I tried grilling veges.
I added thick rounds of carrots, potatoes. zucchini,
brinjals , onions and tomatoes.
F ew pips of smashed garlic.
Florets of cauliflower and broccoli.
In a baking dish, I spread out the veges.
I drizzled 1 tbs of olive oil.
sprinkled with pepper power, and fine salt.
Also sprinkled little oregano.
Grilled for about 15 minutes, till lightly brown.
Removed and sprinkled with coriander leaves.
Served hot to the children.
I should not have used the sliced tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes would have been better.
Thanks, any other way to grill?

Toasted Vegetarian Paninis (kugan)
Here is a recipe, which my sis-in-law used to do in US.
Sorry I do not have a panini maker.
GRILLED VEGETARIAN PANINIS
INGREDIENTS:
Balsamic vinaigrette
1 long eggplant, sliced lengthwise into 1/4″ strips
1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4″ strips
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1/4″ rings
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices of bread
Hummus
2 roasted red peppers
4 slices cheese
Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Place eggplant and zucchini in a plastic bag with enough balsamic vinaigrette to coat the vegetables. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat panini grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees). Brush olive oil on both sides of onions, season with salt and pepper and place on the grill. Remove eggplant and zucchini from marinade (discard remaining marinade) and place onto the grill as well. Close the lid and grill vegetables for 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Brush olive oil onto the outer sides of each slice of the bread. On the bottom bread slices (oil side down), spread a layer of hummus. Top with slices of zucchini, eggplant, red pepper, onion, cheese and top bread slice (oil side up).
Grill 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and golden grill marks appear. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Dev, you are great, posted so many recipes of Kugan. I am sure Kugan will be very happy when she comes back.
Yes Dev, so difficult to trace any recipes that we want. Kugan takes so much of trouble to cook and post with pictures. I do not know why the admin people are not doing anything. Please Dev, do something.
Kugan, they serve dal in big hotels with rotis, do you know how to make?
Also I tasted a mushroom vermicillie soup in a hotel. Please post the recipes if you have. Thanks and come back soon. We all miss you. Gulabjamun.
