:notworthy: kugan-ngov!
u r correct suvai, all my friends enjoy my salad, mostly everybody will go for atleast 2 servings. instead of starters, everybody enjoys salad.
now only i remember, i have somepeople whose in lent now, during this period they have veges, so i have to give some non veg effect in vegeterian. so i am planning to prepare mushroom dish as well as some soyal chunks receipes.
starters i am including soya granules patties too.
finally i will finalised with my menu on thursday evening.
i will post the list after that.
My mom made a simple cucumber + tomato salad which was yummy. it goes well if you have curries or briyani - we had it with vege briyani.
Its just a simple mix of cubed cucumber, chopped onions, chopped green/red chillies plus cubed tomatoes. mix all of these together and add a squeeze of lime and garnish with chopped coriander leaves .. yumm! Add to your taste - the chillies plus a pinch of salt just before serving.
Another one that's great is pumpkin salad - cold.
Cook pumpkin in a bit of water until its soft and tender. Mash them up. Add a bit of fresh or evaporated milk. Mix together. Add a pinch of salt. Serve chilled. You can also serve it hot/warm by adding sauteed chopped onions, curry leaves and mustard seeds.
:).
Post some recipes for Malaysian dishes ! It will rock even more ! :lol:Quote:

[tscii]There are many ways the roasted brinjal is cooked.
We normally will make patchadi out of the roasted brinjal.
A friend showed me how to make roasted brinjal masala.
I will post both the recipes.
Its always best to use 1 big brinjal, as the flesh will be soft.
ROASTED BRINJAL MASALA
Ingredients:
500 grms brinjal choose 1 big one
2 onions chopped fine
2 big tomatoes chopped fine
1 tbs garlic chopped fine
1 tbs ginger grated fine
2 green chillies chopped
˝ tsp coriander powder
˝ tsp cumin powder
˝ tsp red chillie powder
˝ tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp sugar
Little lime juice
Salt to taste
˝ tsp cumin seeds
2 tbs oil
2 tbs chopped coriander leaves
Method:
Apply oil all over the brinjal . Insert a skewer through the brinjal .
Roast on a gas top, keeping the flame very very low.
Keep rotating the brinjal . The skin on the brinjal should be charred. When you touch the brinjal will feel very soft.
Remove it to a plate. When cool peel off the charred skin.
Mash the cooked brinjal and keep aside.
Heat a wok with the oil, add in the cumin seeds.
When it splutters, add in the onions and sauté till they turn
lightly brown. Add in the garlic and ginger and fry for a minute.
Add in the tomatoes, and green chillies.
Stir nicely and cook, add in all the powdered spices.
Keep stirring so that it does not stick to the wok.
Sprinkle some water if needed.
Add in the cooked mashed brinjal , salt and keep on stirring.
The brinjal should be nicely mixed with the spices.
Add in the sugar and lime juice. Add in the chopped coriander leaves.
Stir nicely and remove.

Thanks Dev, I asked her and she said it was taught by an North Indian aunty, who lives near her house.
No name was given for the dish.
