Welcome to Kugan's Kitchen Mona.
Murugan idly kadai has brought you to this kitchen.
Well as far as I know, they serve, coconut chutney, onion chutney,
coriander leaves chutney and sutta kathirikkai chutney.
I think I have posted all these chutneys in my Kugan's Kitchen.
If you like please pm to my dear friend DEV, your gmail ID.
She will give you the access to our blog.
All the chutneys are there. Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Dear Dev, here in Malaysia, we get fresh yellow noodles.
I forgot that in India you only have dried noodles.
The dried noodles will not make any changes in the taste.
Nothing to worry, just cook the noodles or just soak in boiling water.
When they are soft, drain out the water completely.
Do not make them very mushy.
One step to change in the cooking. Add the noodles last, after adding everything.
On high flame stir fry well, so that the sauces are well incorporated .
You are adding the noodles last since the noodles are already cooked.
Thanks and take care. Kugan98
P.S Savoury buns coming:wink:
Sorry, Lakme, I could not get small brinjals.:ashamed:
STUFFED BRINJALS
Ingredients:
Stuffing:
2 tsp of oil
5 pips garlic
2 onions finely chopped
(B)
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp chillie powder
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tbs ghee or oil
1 tsp jaggery
¼ tsp tamarind paste
Salt to taste
10 small brinjals with stem.
2 tbs oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp funugreek seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
¼ cup of water
2 tbs tamarind paste
1 cup of water
Salt to taste
Little chopped coriander leaves
Method:
Heat the 2 tsp of oil. Add in the garlic pips and chopped onions.
Fry till they are cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool.
Add in the ingredients in (B). Grind to a paste adding little water.
Keep aside.
Wash the brinjals, do not remove the stem, slit them vertically,
and horizontally like a plus sign, from the opposite end of the
stem, without breaking them into half.
Seperate the brinjal quarters gently and fill the stuffing inside slowly,
without breaking the brinjals. Keep aside the remaining paste.
Heat the 2 tbs of oil in a flat non- stick pan. Add in the cumin seeds.
Add in the funugreek seeds and the curry leaves. Fry for a second.
Now slowly place each of the stuffed brinjals in the pan.
Add the remaining paste on the top. sprinkle the ¼ cup of water.
Cook on very low heat for about 20 minutes. Turn the brinjals slowly.
Once the brinjals are ¾ cooked, mix the tamarind paste with the 1 cup of water.
Pour on top, cover and cook further till the brinjals are well cooked.
You should have a thick gravy, garnish with coriander leaves.
To serve, gently lift the stuffed brinjals with a wide spoon and place
on a serving plate and pour the gravy. Goes well with rice or roti.

Ruben came home with a complain that my fried rice tastes the same everyday.:angry2:
His friend brought some fried rice, and the smell was so good.
So he asked his friend to bring the recipe the next day.
Well the recipe was simple and sounded a little like Schewan fried rice.
Anyway, I tried and here is the recipe. Kugan98
