Nithi, here is the corn crunchy salad
Sweet corn - 1 cup
baby corn - 10 pieces, blanch or steam and cut in 1 cm length
cucumber - 2 medium size, cubed
tomato - 1 medium size, remove seeds, cubed

Red kidney beans - 1/2 cup (soak overnight, cook for a whistle)
Apple - 1/2 cut in to cubes
Raw mango - 1/4 cup chopped finely
For dressing I normally use, french and greek dressing without fat. So for the party,
i used 2 tblsp of each dressing, little thyme, little oregano, 1 tblsp of olive oil mix all this thoroughly.
Now place all the beans, corn , veg in a bowl, on the top pour the dressing and mix nicely. In a salad plate or bowl, arrange lettuce leaves (keep the lettuce leaves in ice cold water for sometime, so that it will be crunchy)
then arrange the mixed vegetables, beans. Garnish with, non oil, non salt black olives. keep in the refrigerator for 4 hours, then serve.
Potato Thokku:
-------------
this is not new to everyone, the way i make i will not use much oil in my cooking. This is a favourite dish for my kids and husband.
Potato - 3 medium size, peeled, cut into small cubes. In a vessel keep in water, once it comes to boil, add potato cubes cook till it is 75% done
onion - 2 big, finely chopped
garlic - 6 to 8 cloves finely chopped
ginger - 1 tblsp finely chopped
tomato - 1 big size finely chopped
green chilly - 1 finely chopped
red chilly powder - 1 tsp
garam masala powder 1/4 tsp (optional)
fennel seeds powder - 1/4 tsp (optional)
Both garam masala powder and fennel powder is optional or u can use either one of these.
dhania powder - 1/4 tsp (optional)
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
salt - reqd
Seasoning:
oil - 2 tblsp
kadukku - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
curry leaves - few
In a iron kadai, do the seasoning with the seasoning items, then add onion, garlic, ginger , green chilly fry nicely till onion turns golden brown, cook in the slow fire throughout this procedure. Then add tomato, salt and all the powders, cook for a while, so that it will come like a thick thokku now add the potato cubes, stir nicely so that the potato cubes is covered nicely with the thokku and cook till the potato pieces becomes crispy, this will take nearly 15 to 20 minutes. We need patience, donot stir frequently. This comes nicely in iron kadai. Serve it with sambar rice, curd rice etc
Thanks Selviem for the two recipes.
I will try the thoku and give the feed back.
Thanks. Kugan98

Kugan, I was just pulling ur legs!!!... cooking oru kadal, naam ellam adhil chinna fish thaan...:)
I do make a cucumber side dish to go with phulkas... very simple... peel chop salad cucmbers after removing the seed if it's too mature... heat lil oil...splutter mustard... add the cucumber chilly pw,salt- mix well & cook for a min...switch off flame & add lemon juice... cucumber should still be crunchy even after all cooking...don't overcook it... It's a quick fix recipe & quite tasty too... learnt it from a cousin who was doing her catering science then...:)
I would love to have her bittergourd recipes... I do make the normal kulambu, poriyal, varuval, deep fry with it... adding semi ripe mangoes to bittergourd helps mask its bitterness... recipe was from here... http://happyburp.blogspot.com/2006/0...ngo-curry.html
Hi Kugan,
Onga potato pachadi came out good!.....ithu enna thaan first kelvi.........nalla iruku adutha pathil ;-) so u scored here too....thank u nga!
selvi ka thanks for the corn crunchy salad .. :)
Yesterday i made carrot Halwa , adichu pidichu gaali panitanga , turned out very well
Kugan ka , Vangibath looks perfect
Try slicing the brinjals length wise, changes the entire recipe, amma makes it this way . Its just another variation :)
kugan,i cut brinjal in tiny pieces for vangibath, it is very tasty. with the same procedure we can make capsicum rice. Green capsicum is good for that. Coloured one will give sweet taste. Also with valakai also we can make. That also taste very good.
