Immm no response for the sprouted green peas kulambu.
Actually the ANNAMA was telling me,
konjam ithu, konjam athu, oru killu ithu,
arai kai ithu. Well I took down each and every word.
Came home and made it into a recipe.
Tried and it tasted very nice, very nutritious also.
She gave me another version of dry sprouted green peas
recipe also. Not only that, a very good multi paruppu podi also.
Very good with steaming hot rice and a spoon of gingelly oil or ghee. Thanks, Kugan98.
Dev ennangga ara puli iru pulinu kekuringga.
Ara pulina paathi puli.
Iru pulina rendu puli :lol:
Just joking Dev, I will soon post the recipes.
There are many ways and different ingredients
used in these kulambus.
Some use black eyed beans, some use dal.
Some do not use any at all.
Let me confirm with my aunt for the recipe.
Since it is a Iyengar special, worried it might
not be authentic.
You are right ara puli is less puli,
and iru puli is tamarind and curds.
Look out for the recipes soon.
Take care, Kugan98
ohhhh thanks dev for telling me what arai puli is ...naan kelvi patathu ilaai....will wait for the recipe..from namma kugan /kugan makkal...;-)

Suvai nga I am so happy that you liked the tomato rice.
Nowadays I have to learn how to make simple rice
to give the children in the lunch box.
This is a new headache after becoming vegetarians.
This morning made simplified brinjal rice for them.
They usually take some fruits, yogurt and either a rice, noodles,
sandwiches and things like that.
Suvai nga glad you liked the podi too.
Take care Suvai nga, Kugan98
[tscii]Here comes my aunty's version of potato chops.
POTATO CHOPS (my aunty’s)
Ingredients:
300 grms potatoes.
1 tsp red chillie powder
1 tsp corn flour
Little salt
Oil for frying
2 big onions sliced fine
1 tomato chopped fine
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
1 heaped tsp chillie powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp corn flour
¼ tsp gram masala powder
A pinch of jaggery
Salt to taste
1 tbs oil
Method:
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut them into long strips.
Add in the chillie powder, corn flour
and salt. Marinate them for about 30 minutes.
It will ooze out lot of liquid.
Drain and semi fry in oil. Keep aside.
Heat a wok with oil, add in the sliced onions.
Sauté well, add in the ginger and garlic paste.
Sauté again, add in the chopped tomatoes.
Stir nicely till it becomes mushy.
Add in the chillie powder, turmeric powder,
garam masala powder, corn flour , salt and jaggery.
Mix nicely till the oil seperates, add in the fried potatoes.
Take care and turn the potato slices slowly.
The gravy will thicken and coat the potato slices.
Keep on turning the slices till they look dry and with
a rich brownish red colour.
Dish out and serve.
Note: I think Selviem's mom's version would be more tastier
with the pottu kadalai flour and cashew paste.

Suvai nga I have to thank you very much.
You started the subject of potato chops, by asking
Sudha ma for the recipe.
Well now we have so many types of recipes to
cook the potato.
I remember our cook in India.
She would boil the potatoes, cube them.
Then she will temper cinnamon stick, cardamoms and aniseeds in oil. later add little curry leaves.
Then she will satue finely sliced onions in the oil.
when the onions slightly brown, she will add in chillie powder and turmeric powder. At once she will pour 1 cup of water.
She will add in the boiled potatoes and salt.
She will cook till the water evaporates.
Dish out and serve. This was the only method cooked
in our house in India.
Now we have so many methods to cook the simple potato.
I hope all our friends will post simple recipes that are cooked in their homes. Then we will have many varieties
Thanks again Suvai nga.
Take care Kugan98.
Selviem, I would be very grateful, if
you can advise me on what you give your
children in their lunch box.
Our children leave early morning at 6.20 a.m
They come home at about 5 p.m
After school they have extra curriculum which
is compulsory in their school.
I have to give them snack for the interval,
and food for lunch.
Its my daily headache. Thanks, Kugan98
All I can say K, is that your children are gifted to have a mum like you. :bow:
Here are some ideas: http://living.peta.org/2008/top-10-v...lunchbox-ideas
