Kugan, I do not know how to thank you for all the nice recipes. I know how I feel lazy even to just log in to say thank you. No wonder there are so many silent readers. You take the trouble to cook, type the recipe and post with pictures. Thanks a lot Kugan, we must be very grateful to you.
Kugan I have posted a pm for you, please read it. Thanks, I pray for your good health.

Suvai, thanks for your kala kalappana post.
This is Suva:-Di.
As for the sweet, my grandma calls this snack twisted sweet murukku.
Its very commonly made in the villages.
I too love to make it. I see dev has given one link.
Its similar to that, same ingredients and steps.
Enjoy making it Suvai. Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Gulabjamun, thanks for your nice post.
I have said earlier, do not hesitate to request for recipes.
Even though I am vegetarian now, I still can post non-vege recipes.
So I will post your request soon.
Take care, Kugan98
Dev, here is the recipe for ragi kolukkatai.
SAVOURY RAGI KOLUKKATAI
Ingredients:
2 cups ragi flour
1 cup rice flour
1 tbs of green chillie chopped fine
1 tsp ginger chopped fine
2 tbs onion chopped fine.
1 sprig curry leaves chopped
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp urad dal
1 tbs oil
Salt to taste
Method:
Tie the two flours in a cloth and steam them in a idli cooker,
for about 15 minutes.
Remove and put them in a bowl to cool.
Now heat the oil in a pan, add in the mustard seeds,
And urad dal. Let them splutter.
Now add in the onions, ginger, green chillies, and curry leaves.
Saute a little, and pour it into the flour.
Mix every thing nicely.
Dissolve enough salt in little water.
Add the salted water little by little, just enough to bind the flour.
Take a small fistful of the flour and shape it with your fingers.
Now steam the shaped kolukkatais for about 10 minutes.
Remove and serve with coconut chutney, or you can eat it as it is.
NOTE: You cannot make ragi kolukkatai with ragi flour alone.

Yes, Dev, it is the same way to do wheat flour kolukkatai.
You can add less rice flour to the wheat flour.
Dev, the kolukkatai will have a shiny look when cooked.
More over 10 to 15 minutes is good enough to cook.
Rajraj uncle:rotfl::rotfl: its nice to have some fun at times.
Thanks uncle, Kugan98
Suvai here is my grandma's version of twisted seeni murukku.
TWISTED SEENI MURUKKU
Ingredients:
300 grms all purpose flour
2 tbs of oil
¼ cup or less or more little water
A pinch of salt
A pinch of baking powder (to make it crisp)
Oil for frying
For Syrup:
1 cup sugar
¼ cup water
Method:
Place the flour in the bowl, add in the pinch of salt, cooking soda.
Add in the oil, now add adequate water and knead
into a tight ball. Cover and leave aside for ½ an hour.
The dough will have to be tight otherwise it will not hold the shape
Divide the dough into small balls. The size of a small lime.
Roll out each ball into thin oval shaped puris.
Now with a knife slit along the puri, without cutting the edges.
Roll the slitted puri slowly. Press both ends so that
they will not open when frying.
Heat oil in wok, and deep fry the twisted murukku, till golden colour.
Remove on to tissue paper to absorb extra oil.
In a broad based pot, add in the sugar and water.
Bring to a boil, till the syrup thickens.
When the white bubble shows, add in the fried twisted murukkus.
Stir constantly on low heat, so that all the murukkus are coated well.
Turn off the heat at once or the sugar will crystallize soon.
Cool and store in an airtight tin.
Thanks to the net for the picture.

Suvai, you made me to cry by asking me my breakfast:cry2::cry2::cry2:
Just plain oats with little salt.
Lunch 1 chapathi with keerai kutoo without any thalipoo.
On severe pathiyam, as I said no thembu to write and post recipes.
Feel very weak, well no choice.
Thanks, Kugan98
peas curry looks yum!!!...:slurp:
kugan,
take care.. pathiyam.. sari.. weak a pora alavuka...... frequent a - healthy a - light a - edhavadhu eduthukonga..
wat about the fruit juice... salads..
take care kugan.....................
suvai,
ofcourse rava idli is too tasty. very easy to make. i agree with ur comments.
do u use eno salt for that?
awesome rava idli kugan, we all enjoyed with red capsicum kara chutney. left over idlis i made like idli uppma with idli podi and packed for the box today.
tofu with green peas is tempting, will prepare in the weekend and post the feedback
K, no thalipoo is ok...but 1 chapathi...:roll: Have they asked u limit the quantity as well?... :think:Quote:

Ennathai saapiduvathu? The cooking is very bland. So no appetite. Its so difficult to push down the 1 chapathi.
Can take idli, no dosai, iddiappam, puttu. What will be the combo for that?
My head is going round. Have to go on until the end of April.
Do not worry friends, somehow I will try to survive. Recipes will not come as often as before.
I will try my best to post. Thanks, Kugan98
K, innovate!!!... take this as an opportunity to innovate new dishes with whatever they have allowed u to take... If u are not banned from taking nuts, coconut, peppercorns,jeera,oils other than gingelly oil etc, I am sure U can come up with many new dishes... unga cooking experienceku idhu oru challengenu ninaichukonga... Post the new recipes that u comeup with and we too will join u and see how the paththiyam dishes taste!!...
Anyway, 1 chapathi ellam saapitaal u won't meet even the base minimum of 1200cal/day... that is definitely BAD... if u can take sugar/jaggery/honey, just spread it on chapathi and roll it...and eat...appadiyaavadhu innoru chapathyai ulla thannidunga...;)
Dev, no nuts, no coconut.:banghead: Only sun flower oil about 1/2 tsp.
Thats what I do, honey, spread on the chapathi and make a wrap.
Iddiappam, idli ellam honey thaan. I will later post a kutoo recipe,
see how it looks:cry3: Thanks Dev, Kugan
Selviem yes we do add eno fruit salt for the rava idli.
The recipe is in Kugan's Kitchen 5. Page 19.
Try and see. Thanks Kugan98
