Nithi, my host's son loves maggie mee, every time he would just boil,
the mee with the soup contents and have it like that.
You know the Indian maggie masala, yucks, the taste.
So I taught him how to make a healthy maggie mee with veges.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Kuganji..
thanks a lot for oats kozhukkattai recipe.
Immediately I asked Mayflower to prepare this. She did it with slight variation.
First... she preapred a sweet variety.
In kara kozhukkattai.. Instead of grinding the oats, she used it as it is.
Added green chillies instead of red chillies and grated coconut instead of pallu pallu.
I think small ginger pieces were also added.
Both are so tasty and prepared, served within a short span of time.
Waiting for other oats recipes now :slurp:

Kuganji..
thank u for chinese and indian garlic rice recipes. Will try both soon.
BTW.. I dont know cooking at all ji... ( Nov anna knows this. I know how to prepare coffee. thats all )
I like all vegetarian items. Like natural healthy items very much. Thats why I like oats too.
waiting for more oats recipes.
( Nov anna, Dev.. innaikku illaattiyum ennaikkavadhu neenga oats pakkam vandhuthan aaganum )
BTW.. innaikku try senja Oats uppuma ( appadinnu vachukkalaam :) )
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...Photo-0020.jpg
k n Madhu anna, I prefer cholam,kambu,thinai,samai, ragi,cracked wheat n stuffs for health... oats IMO is an over-marketed health food... I don't mean to say it's not healthy...it's healthy...no doubt abt it... but we do have many other healthy stuffs(they call it siru dhaniyam) that our ancestors had taken for ages... all tasty and nutrient rich stuffs...and above all they have a better texture than oats... adhai ellam vittitu ippo oats pinnadi ooditu irukkom... ellathukkum kaaranam marketing thaan...
Dev... naan sonnadhu oats-ukku mattum illa. ellathukkumthan.
ungalukku kambu adai pidikkuma ? :slurp:
