THank you very much for both the sweet delights. Both look like a very very light snack for the tea time. I just now googled for the mold thinking of alternative :think::think:

I also came here to give you the recipe of Puliserry from the mami, which goes well with sevai and pappadam.

Puliserry 1 Without Coconut

THuvar dal - 2.5 tbs

Rice - 1.5 tbs

Pachai milagai - 6

Curd - 1 cup mixed in 1/2 cup water

Milk - 1 cup

Seasoning - Mustard seeds - 1tsp, Whole red chilles (neeta milgai) - 2, Vendayam - 1/4 tsp, curry leaves

Method:

Dry fry the rice and thuvardal for 3 to 4 mins , once it cools grind it to a paste along with green chilles and little water. Season the given ingredients , meanwhile mix the paste with the milk and add this mixture to the seasoning, do not boil this just oru kothi vandavudan take it off the stove and once this cools add the salt and curd water mixture. at this stage it can be heated in medium heat but this too should not boil take it off the stove otherwise it will curdle.

Puliserry 2 with coconut

Coconut - 1/2 mudi

Pachai Milagai - 6

Curd water Mixture same as above.

Seasonig same as above.

Grind the coconut and green chilles to a paste (not too smooth) mix it with 1 cup water. Season the given ingredients and then add the coconut mixture keep the flame in medium once it slightly boils add the curd water mixture and slightly boil and take if off the stove immediately.

Note

In both ways once can use vegetables like Okra, Chow Chow or WHite Pumkin. If you wish to use after seasoning throw the vegetables in and with minimum minimum water boil them.

Mami told both will go with sevai and she has served me that day the one without coconut. Oh I did not even know.

P.S Tamby :notthatway: You have to cook it to see the taste.
Anyway, triffles and these caramel puddings are so different, that's what I think.:confused2:
Anyway thanks and take care, Kugan.

Will you use malaysian dried red chilles for these kind of paste or the indian ones. When ever I visit chinese stores they sell lot of whole long red chilles in packets and its cheap compared to indian but i do not know how spicy it will be so never buy.

I also buy mexican arbol peppers ( kaanja neeta milagai ) it looks light in color compared to our neeta milagai but sema kaaaaaaaaaaaram.:frightened::frightened:

You are right Sangeetha, we are allowed 23kg of 2 bags. One bag would be full of all kinds of dried food.
Meerra too would take back all kinds of Malaysian food that she misses.
One of the item would be dried chillies, all neatly cut into small pieces with most of the seeds removed.:-D
The next bulk item would be Baba brand red chilli powder.

Sangeetha I too find the red chillis found there to be thick and somewhat little blackish.
The paste would not be as red as we get here, also it would not be that kaaram.

Sangeetha you know what we do, cut up the red chillis, soak them in very hot water.
use gloves and wash them twice, you can see the water like little black.
now you blend the chilli, with shallots, and little garlic, then saute them with little oil.
This way the paste will last longer than the raw paste.
Thanks and take care.

There are many types of red chillies, I use this type:

Dear P.S Tamby and Sangeetha, here in Malaysia we have our own vattalappam.
It is called steamed rice cake, I will do and post with picture.

I am only very stressed and scared.
Early morning have to go to temple, will come home and do if time permits.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

Thanks NOV anneh for the fresh cucumber salad, looks very simple and easy.

I made made a similar one on Monday for my son's prefect's party. Each person had to bring 2 items.
Cut up the cucumber, red chilli, onions, pineapple,
added, sugar, vinegar, and salt. Mixed up the lot and gave as salad:-D
The other was ghee rice. Thanks anneh . Kugan.
