Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

Meera, you are wonderful, your recipes are all very nice.
I will try out the pineapple gojuu soon.
By the way Meera do you have any recipe for gravy made with groundnuts?
If you have , kindly please post it for me.
Thanks, rose.

Tip: Dosa batter gone sour?... kids refusing to have dosa along with chutney?... mix some mint/coriander chutney(without adding tamarind if it si for reducing sourness of the batter) to make some delicious, colorful dosas...:) you can also add tomato chutney, carrot/beetroot chutney etc... tomato chutney will increase the sourness of the batter though...

Meera, that's a beautiful fruit arrangement!!!...will try to replicate it sometime... what is the base used to stick the fruits?...

Ah, brother, nice to see you active in the forum again.
I know you cannot cook, but atleast leave a comment for the dishes
posted by us. We will feel happy.
Thanks for inquiring about Kugan. Take care, Meerra

Dev, thanks for the tips on sour dosa flour.
I am sure many will benefit from it.

as for the fruit arrangements, actually I saw it in my friends house.:-D
She had done it in a round bowl.
Since I was having a function in my house.
I bought a basket and did the arrangements there.
You need the little hard type of sponge, plastic spikes and fruits.
I used two types of melon, strawberry, grapes and pineapple.
You can use any fruits of your choice.
Take care, Meerra
