Kugan, thanks for all you are doing for us.
Kugan I went to a friends house, they served us a gravy, made of small onions.
It had coconut and things ground in the gravy. They said it is a Kerala dish.
Something ulli or something like that.
Also they served us two types of pickles. One lime sweet pickle and a garlic pickle.
The sweet lime pickle was soo yummy. The garlic pickle had a strong taste of vinegar.
She said both the pickles are Baba Nyonya recipes. The pickles were present from a Baba family from Malacca. Kugan can you p-lease find out the recipes for me.
Please take your time. I know I am disturbing you a lot. Sorry Kugan.
Take care Kugan. Thanks. Rose75

Rose, I am very happy with your post and requests.
Do not worry, Suvai, Dev, Selviem, Aarthii all have posted lots of recipes in this thread. I am sure somehow they will try to help you.
As per your request, Rose, The ulli as you say is small onion theeyal.
It is a Kerala dish, I remember posting a pavakkai theeyal recipe.
Looking for the recipe is only:banghead:
I will post the shallots theeyal recipe soon.
As for your sweet lemon pickle, I have also posted the recipe.
Do not worry, I will repost it for you again.
Rose you will not believe me, only today I soaked garlic pearls in vinegar.
One of my aunty wanted the pickle, I promised to make it for her.
You are right, these are Baba nyonya recipes.
O.K today I will post the Goan fish curry for you.
It is a very very hot curry. Thanks, Kugan98
Selviem, thanks for your post.
You need not use very sour curds.
I made the curds in the morning, by evening I used it
to make the cake. Try it, it comes out very soft.
Thanks, Kugan98
This recipe is by my Portuguese friend who is from Malacca.
She is the one who taught me the sweet lime and garlic pickle.

bkarthika, I felt very sad to read your post.
How can we forget you. You have been such a nice hubber.
bkarthika, do not worry, let me know I will give you my e-mail.
You can request any recipes and I will post it for you.
Or you can go to any cybercafe to have it printed.
Do not worry, we are all here to help you.
Take care, Kugan98
Dev, you are great. You know I have even lost the picture of the fish molee when my p.c crashed.
You have to let me into the secret as to how to find the recipes.
Dev, one more thing, I save my pictures in Picasa. There is a place to add a text to the picture. For example, I can write the name of the dish, or my name. I can do it there.
Once I post the picture in the forum, the name disappears.
Any way to do it, or you need any special programs.
Thanks Dev, take care, Kugan98
Friends since Rose was talking about Baba Nyonya dishes.
I thought of posting this curry recipe. I know it is difficult to get some ingredients in India. Maybe you can get in US in the Asian market.
That's the reason I do not post Malaysian recipes. Thanks, Kugan98

Dear friends, Rose requested for this pickle.
All my elderly aunties love this pickle. They always ask me to prepare for them. I think they love garlic for its goodness.
Here is the recipe. Kugan98
NYONYA GARLIC PICKLE
Ingredients:
300 grms small garlic pips skinned whole.
Little sugar
Little salt
Enough vinegar to soak all the garlic.
3 tbs red chillie paste
4 tbs shallot paste
2 tbs oil, or little more
Little sugar
Little salt
Little vinegar.
Method:
Peel the garlic pips and leave them whole.
Dry the garlic well, put them in a dry bottle.
Add in the salt, sugar and fill the container with vinegar
to cover the garlic. Leave it aside for 3 days.
After 3 days, drain all the vinegar. Discard the vinegar.
Heat a wok with the oil. add in the chillie paste and shallot paste.
Cook on medium heat till the raw smell goes and oil seperates.
Now add in the drained garlic pips. Give a good stir.
Add in little salt and sugar to taste.
Add in also new vinegar. Stir nicely, do not allow the garlic to cook.
The garlic pips should be still crunchy.
Remove, let it cool nicely. Store in glass bottle.
NOTE: You can less the chillie paste and onion paste if you want less sambal in the pickle.
