[tscii] Tried eggless achu murukku, and it was a huge success.
Here is the recipe. Kugan98
EGGLESS ACHU MURUKKU (ROSE COOKIES)
Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour
½ cup plain flour
1/8 th cup corn flour
Sieve the 3 flours well together
1 ¼ cup thick coconut milk
½ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
A pinch of white lime (chunnambu )
Oil for frying
Method:
Put the flours, sugar, white lime and coconut milk in a bowl.
Mix well till the sugar dissolves.
Beat the batter till it becomes smooth.
Heat oil in a wok over medium flame.
Take the achu murukku mould and dip it into the oil to make it hot.
When the mould is hot, dip it into the batter.
Take care not to let the batter cover more than ¾ of the height on the mould.
Plunge the mould into the hot oil and hold for a minute.
Then slip the murukku off the mould by shaking it gently.
Let the murukku cook for 1-2 minute till it turns lightly brown.
Remove and drain onto a kitchen paper towel.
When cool store in a airtight tin.

P.S Tamby, you are around. All our friends are very busy.
Yes, I do bake biscuits, before many types using eggs.
Now I have to experiment baking without eggs.
Some turn out really good. Thanks, Tamby. Kugan98
Kugan, I ever grateful to you. It was very easy for me to follow your recipes to make the goodies for deepavali.
I am also cooking your chicken curry, mutton varuval for deepavali. My friends are going to be surprized with my mouth watering dishes. I am very very happy. My deepavali wishes to all my friends, and special wishes to you.
Happy DeepaavaLi ! :)

Aprom cornflakes cookies recipela caster sugar use panna solli irukeenga...can we use regular sugar instead... I have a pack of corn flakes lying in the pantry for months now and mom will be really happy to see it get used...;)
Kugan, achu murukku looks super!!
Happy deepavali to all friends in KK.
Thanks Selviem for your compliments.
I am also happy that the achu murukku came out nicely.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Dev I am happy that you are fine now.
Hope Kutty too is better.
Thanks for the compliments.
Dev, you can grill the chicken in a non-stick pan.
The skin helps so that the flesh of the chicken does not stick to the grilling pan. You can grill the chicken without the skin.
Dev, just take your sugar, run it in your dry grinder once.
Your caster sugar is ready :lol:
Try it out Dev, take care, Kugan98
Lakme, so glad to see your post.
Thanks for the compliments. I have few more recipes,
no time now , will post them after Deepavalli.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Yes, the mutton kulambu was a hit.
I also made special fish biryani, of course mock fish :lol:
I will post the recipe soon. You can even make it without the fish. Its a village type of biryani.
The next day was plain cumin rasam, very satisfying.
What ever it is, be happy with what we make, that is very important.
Thanks Suvai for your nice post.
Take care, kugan98
Nm, thanks for your nice post.
Yes, we too heard Suvai's crackers :lol:
I am sure Suvai's cooking too would be Suvai O Suvai.
Thanks Nm, take care of your leg.

Dev, thanks for your compliments and nice post.
Dev, naanggalum, soya mate thaan.
Just boil them nicely, with little garlic, and ginger.
Squeeze out the water nicely.
Marinate with ginger, garlic paste, salt and chillie powder over night. Shallow fry in little oil, make the mutton kulambu
as per recipe, add it to the kulambu.
Super mutton masala kulambu :lol:
Thanks, take care, Kugan98
Little bit of what I made. Not all items are here.
