Hello Kugan, Suvai and friends
That arivupu from Suvai made me laugh and drag me to the home computer. Thank you. I am sure all those in the kanavilai arivipu are here may be a little busy. Sorry to let you, Selvi and Dev alone.
Hope Selvi and the family are fully recovered now.
Indexing makes searching for recipes a lot easier. Thank you Dev.

for people to see.
For me, I am not deterred by non visits or few people visiting us on Forum Hub. Quality is more important than quantity.
I think me, kugan and Mrs. Mano will continue posting.
Thanks for your concern (on behalf of kugan98)

Sorry to hear this Hemantji... it's very kind of u to not to disclose the identity of the hubber as yet...Hope she removes the posts & atleast aplologises...
Thank u shanthy for the cutlet recipe...sounds tempting..:-) thank u for popping up into the thread with yr recipe ;-)
sorry to hear that hemantji......yr entire food website copied???? that is not right...:-(
Hi folks,
Its very sad to know that many people lack in being ORIGINAL.
I also have my own blog on cooking. Correct me if i am wrong. Well its ok to help one another by posting few recipes from your friends. But, its totally wrong to copy the entire thread and get the credits. For an example, I have posted 1 or 2 recipes of Kugan's on my blog. But on the heading of my blog i always mention that this recipe was given to me by my friend kugan. I have also a link on Kugan's website. SO that many more others can join this hub too....
As for me, Whatever recipes that i post on my blogs.. it is also shared on this hub. I do my part by sharing my recipes on Kugan's thread. I strongly deem that Kugan's thread has made me a better cook. So my gratitude goes to this thread
Its always good to share your recipes with others. But do mention them in ur post as the credit goes the to them. Its their hard work. So please omit this copyright thingy. Thats totally unfair to the one who created the blog.....

hi hubbers,
just now the ramadan month was over. My friend she makes a porridge, when she breaks the fast. I changed her receipe in a healthy way. But the taste is same.
Oats Porridge:
-------------
Cooking oats - 1 cup
Channa dhal(bengal gram) - 1 1/2 tblsp
Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp
Bengal gram and methi seeds should be soaked in enough water for 1 hour.
salt - reqd
coconut milk powder - 1 tsp diluted in water
Seasoning :
----------
Cooking oil - 1 tsp
cloves - 2
cinnamon - 1" pieces (2)
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Green chilly - 1 slit
Onion - 1 small (chopped)
Curry leaves, pudhina, coriander leaves - 1 tsp each
ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
carrot - 2 tblsp chopped
green peas - 1 tsp
Tomato - 1 small (chopped)-optional
In a pan, add oil, cinnamon, cloves, jeera once it pops then add onion, green chilly saute for 2 minutes, then add the leaves. then add ginger garlic paste, fry for 2 minutes. Then add carrot, green peas mix it nicely. If we want to add tomato, here we have add tomato and fry nicely.
Then add channa dhal, methi seeds and add 1 cup of water, cover and cook till channa dhal is 3/4th done. then add oats and add another 2 cups of water, salt and cook till the oats is nicely cooked like a porridge. lastly add the coconut milk when it starts to boil switch off the gas.
We can dilute the porridge according to our consistency.
Variations:
-----------
1.Same like above we can make with wheat rawa, this can be used after frying it (same like uppma). This has be pressure cook with all the ingredients.
2. Also we can make with brown rice.
3. Also we can make with raw rice.
Weight watchers can have this porridge either as a afternoon meal , with that some salads and vegetables.
In the night only this porridge is enough for the dinner.
Mainly oats is good for weightwatches, next comes the brown rice and next comes the wheat rawa.
Please try it and let me know the feed back
Okra raitha / Vendakaai Pachidi:
Purpose of this dish:
1. If we think of raitha, then, definitely onion raitha will come to our mind. Y not something different?
2. On pooja days, we cant have onion in our food. So we can have this type of raitha on those days.
Vendakaai/Ladies finger/okra: 1 or 2 cup(s) - chopped
Mustard seeds & Urad dal to temper
asafoetida/perungaayam powder - 2 pinch
Green chilli
salt to taste
Grated cocunut - 2 spoons
Cocunut oil - 1 spoon
Cooking oil - 2 spoon
Curd
Method:
In a fry pan, add cooking oil and fry vendakaai well (deep fry if required and for more taste :P ). Remove from fire and add cocunut oil, mix well and keep it aside.
Again, in a pan, add little oil, add mustard seeds, let is pop up, then, add urad dal, fry till golden brown. Now, transfer to vendakaai.
In a bowl, add curd, vendakaai, grated cocunut, salt, asafoetida and mix well.
Yummy okra raitha ready. :)
Preparation time: 10 mins
