KUGAN'S KITCHEN PART 3

K, is GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS the same as grilled honey chicken thtt they sell in the stores like cold storage,giant etc?...

kugan,

nice ragi receipes. all are very tempting. i like raggi puttu very much. i will try one by one and let u know.

selvi

You are right Dev, they sell it as BBQ honey chicken.
Children will love it.
Thanks. Kugan98

Dev, I forgot to mention something.
In the urappu adai if you want more heat,
you can add chillie flakes or birds eye chillie.
Too much of chillie powder will not taste good.

Also you can add 2 tbs of rava, some finely sliced cabbage.
Make the dough a bit softer, dropping consistency,
and fry them in oil as raagi pakoda :lol:
Thanks. Kugan 98.


Tomorrow I am making moor kali.

Thanks Selviem, raagi is good for us.
Some people make raagi adai with raagi alone.
I have tried, but it gives a taste like sand feeling.
You have to mix little flour.
Try pannungoh.
Thanks Kugan98.


Selviem I am waiting for your low calorie recipes,
or what you cook in your house.
I know you cook all healthy recipes.
Thanks Selviem. Kugan98

K, thanks for the tips... no more deep fried stuffs for sometime. so no pakodas for me. :)

Din't get to makeing ragi urappu adai today... maybe tomorrow.

Dev, naan cooking mattum thaan.
Eating no no :cry2: :cry2:

Thanks Kugan98

Kugan,
Ragi puttu was a hit today thanks nga. The mutton gravy looks very good. Will try out in a couple of days.

Suja

Thanks dev, for the nice words.
You know I love dry mutton prettal.
Sardine sambal with chappati
Anchovies pickle
Nasi lemak
Sri Langkan chicken and many more.

I used to wonder how my F.I.Law does not eat anything
when we all enjoyed these things :roll:
He would share the same dining table, but would not mind.

Now its going to be a year.
No such aasai for non-vegetarian items now.
The whole family has given up non-veges.
Its truly the Grace of God

Thanks Dev. Kugan98

Suja, I am very happy that every one liked the raagi puttu.
When you have the time try out other raagi recipes.

The mutton will be very nice to have with steaming rice.
Thanks. Kugan98

:thumbsup:

I'm an on & off vegetarian...:lol:

Here is a healthy snack.

CHOLA PORI

Ingredients:
1/3 cup pop corn kernels
3 tbs canola oil
1 tbs of butter
Salt to taste

Method:
Take a 3 quart saucepan with a cover.
Add in the oil, butter and salt.
Heat the sauce pan on medium heat.

Now remove the sauce pan and add the corn
kernels in an even layer.
Return the pan to the heat.
The pop corn should begin popping soon.

Once the popping starts, gently shake the pan by
moving it back and forth over the burner.
Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the
pop corn to release.

Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops,
remove the pan from the heat.
Remove the lid and pour the pop corn into a big bowl.
Sprinkle some pepper powder on it for added aroma.

You can even make caramelized pop corn
for the children

K, pop corn kernel is normal dried corn, right?... or is there any spl variety of corn used to make pop corn...

kugan,

semma control ungalukku. i can't control. if i cook i will eat.
weekend with friends we went outside, spent the day.
my elder one is sick and he got very a high and he is at home.

kugan, i dont cook anything special for diet, the normal cooking, but very less oil, less salt, very little coconut, if it is needed.

Kuganka,am doing fine.
Was lil busy.So i didnt get time to come infornt of system.
Thanks for all the raagi rcipes as well as mutton recipe kuganka.
will try it out one by one.

selvika,how is ur elder son now?

Selvi, hows ur son now?... getting better?...

Yes Dev, we have to use a special variety of corn kernal to make pop corn. You can buy it in the supermarkets.
They sell in packets or cans.

Popcorn, a type of flint corn, has a soft starchy center surrounded by a very hard exterior shell. When popcorn is heated the natural moisture inside the kernal turns to steam that builds up enough pressure for the kernal to explode. When the kernal explodes the white starchy mass that you like to eat forms. All types of corn will pop to some degree, but they won't necessarily have enough starch to turn inside out, or an outside layer that will create enough pressure to explode .

Thanks Kugan98

Oh dear your son is not well.
My little one too threw up 3 times in the night.
The other children are allright if to say any food poisoning.
Whole night kept awake. giving her sips of drinks.
Morning took her to a doctor. She is resting now.

How is your son feeling now?
Give him lots of fulids. Take care Selviem.
Kugan98

Dev, you can make the pop corn even in your pressure cooker.
You have to remove the casket and the weight.
Then follow like doing in the pan.
Thanks. Kugan98

Aarthii thanks for your nice post.
Keep yourself busy, another way of avoiding food.
Thanks. Kugan98

K, take care of the lil one... wht did the doc say?

i've tried the ready to pop corns in the pressure cooker & it did come out well. I've not tried fromm scratch. will look for the spl corn here.

kugan, dev and aarthi,

my son is fine. he is too tired. he went to school today coz of annual day practice. teacher told that she will take care of him.

thanks a lot friends.

kugan take care of ur daughter.

Dev, doctor says food poisoning.
All the other children are fine.
I just simply do not know.
Thanks Dev, Kugan98

[tscii]I would not say this is a healthy dish.
Anyway I think this is a slowly disappearing dish.
Normally this is cooked in the villages.
Thanks. Kugan98


MOOR KALI

Ingredients:

1 cup rice flour
3 cups moor
Salt to taste

To Season:
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 tbs urad dal
1 tbs channa dal
3 moor milagai cut into pieces
1 tsp oil

Method:
In a non stick pot, mix the flour, salt and the moor.
See that there are no lumps.

Take a small pan , heat the oil.
Add the seasonings, let it splutter.
Pour it over the moor flour mixture.

Heat the non stick pot on a low flame and keep on stirring.
The mixture will thicken and roll up like a ball.
It will be translucent when cooked.
It will stick to your mouth if not properly cooked.

Remove it to a oiled plate. You can scoop and serve,
or cut into cubes and serve.
It goes well with any kulambu.

Note: If you do not have the moor milagai,
You can use dry red chillie.

Thanks every one.


Dev and Aarthii, ask your moms, they might
know of moor kali. Old fashion food lah :lol:
Kugan98

K, amma doesn't know it either... maybe unknown of in our place...

Glad to know the lil one is recovering... take care, K

Dev - MorkaLi was quite common in our households and made whenever excess puLicha mOr was available. It slowly went into hibernation as we were not very fond of it as children. Now our tastes are different, but it is quite heavy.

oh,oks... next time namma meet pannumm podhu senju thaanga ksen...;)

kugan,
feed ishu more liquid items. take care that she should not dehydrate. my son is ok, today he strained too much and got light temp. he will not sit in one place,that is his problem.

kugan,
moor kali is an interesting receipe, i have seen this preparation in some tamil channel.


as u said this is prepared in villages.
