Aarthii, u r already cooking the cauliflower separately. So appove 80-90% cook aagidum... then when u add along with masala stuff,the 2 mins cooking is just for the cauliflower to absorb the flavours...
MY DEAR FRIENDS, I came home on the 30th evening in the mids of heavy rain in Malaysia.
The trip was very promising. Gave me lots of hope.
Friends, I saw that the KK thread has grown from page 67 to 73. It brought tears to my eyes.
Even if anything happens to me, I know that the KK thread will go on without me.
First thanks to my moderator, my anneh NOV for his wishes.
Dev, Sudha, Selviem, Aarthii, Suja, NM, Roshan, Madhu, Rose75, Gulabjamun, P.S Tamby, Raj raj uncle and Chevy.
Dev, a very big thank you for all the nice recipes.
Thanks to Sudha, Gulabjamun too for the nice recipes.
I met a super cook and have come back with lots of recipes.
Please give me some time, as I am still recovering.
Not that too well
What happened to bkarthika, Lakme, Jay, Thiru tambys, tvshanker and our Suvai.
I am very very worried about our Suvai :(
It's daily raining in Malaysia, very cold, cannot dry the cloths.
Take care will be back soon.

Hi Kugan and friends. Am new here. Though I've joined the hub for quite some time, I've been quite inactive, prefering to be a silent hubber. Was going through the hub and just found out about this thread! And what an amazing thread this is! All the mouth-watering recipes is not only prompting me to start my cooking again, but they are also instrumental in making me to post in the hub! Going through all these recipes, I just can't resist complimenting you on a job well done here. Keep up the good work Kugan! :)
