But, it will be a long time. Now, I am doing my income tax return! :(
O.K Groucho Anna:-D, I am 35 years old this year. So I can call you anna.
I will try to locate the greens recipes for you.
This is how I prepare ginger garlic paste. It differs from house to house.
I also make my chillie paste by grinding soaked dry chillies with little shallots.
Then cook in oil till oil separates. Cool and bottle. I never buy chillie paste from the shops. Thanks, Kugan98
Normally the ratio for ginger garlic paste is made according
to the family’s taste.
Generally, we take equal amount of ginger and garlic while
making paste for curries. Ginger is very pungent and should be used in less quantity when compared to garlic.
Again this is individual taste. I always use about 60 grms of garlic and 40 grms of ginger. This brings out the best flavour in curries.
GINGER GARLIC PASTE:
300 grms garlic pearls cleaned and dry. (Use freshly peeled garlic)
200 grms ginger cleaned cut and dry
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp kosher salt
3 tbs vegetable oil or more.
Method:
Heat the oil in a pan till very hot. Keep aside to cool.
In a food processor, or mixie pluse all the remaining ingredients.
Slowly keep on adding the oil till all the ingredients are well mixed.
Remove and store in a GLASS container with an airtight lid.
It will stay good for a month or more.
It will not turn green.
Store it in the refrigerator . Use only a dry spoon.
Immediately put it back in the fridge after using.
Turmeric and oil serve as natural preservatives.

Thanks Suvai for your method of preparing ginger garlic paste.
I read your post and fried all the ingredients, before making into a paste.
I followed Dev's method and mashed the green peas with a mathu.
I added 2 bird's eye chillie for extra oomph.
Only I was not able to taste it.
Everyone liked it with their chapathi.
Take care, Kugan98
Dev, try out the recipe without fear.
Your recipe is nice with chappathi, that's what everyone told.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Rajraj uncle, thanks for your concern. I am feeling a bit better now.
With all the nice posts, I feel very relaxed.
Yes, uncle, I feel very sorry, when I cannot locate a recipe.
I am sure people will not have the time to browse that much.
O.K finish your income tax first. That is very important.
Take your time uncle, Take care, Kugan98
Kugan :bow: I usually add few cloves of garlic in my chilli paste in addition to shallots. I am a garlic fan, but let me try the 60/40 ratio for g/g paste, who knows I might like it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have posted this recipe before.
Try this Groucho anna.
This is a simple satisfying and nutritious way of cooking greens with tuvaram dhal. It is delicious with rice or chappaties. Pour a spoonful of pure melted ghee over each serving of hot sauce. The children will love this.
Tuvaram Dhal And Greens Creamy Sauce
Ingredients
1 cup tuvaram dhal
2 big handfuls of greens, after picking of the stalks.
( parupu keerai,methi kerrai, spinach or any of your choice )
2 onions, chopped into tiny bits.
4 pods of garlic peeled
2 green chillies,slit into haves
1 tomato chopped into tiny bits
2 tsp thick tamarind juice
1 dried red chillie broken into 2 pieces
tsp of mustard seeds
tsp of jeera
tsp of tumeric powder
1 tbs of ghee
1 tsp of oil
salt to taste
Method:
Clean the greens and chop into shreads.
Add 1 cup of dhal with tsp of tumeric and 1 tsp of oil in 6 cups of boiling water. Cook till the dhal turns soft.
Add the greens, chopped onions,slit green chillies,peeled garlic,all to the boiled dhal. If the mixture is too thick, add cup of hot water. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tamarind juice, salt to taste,and boil till the greens are cooked. ( not over cooked )
Pour the top thin dhal – greens liquid only,into another vessal. Mash the residual thick dhal,greens, and tomato,till creamy smooth, with the wooden dhal spoon churner. (It's tasty done this way, or use your mixie )
Pour back the top thin dhal water into the mashed mixture.
Heat a wok and pour in the 1 tbs of ghee. When it turns hot, add the tsp of mustard seeds, when they stop spluttering, add the jeera and the broken dried chillies. When the chillie turns crisp, pour in the dhal mixture. Stir once thoroughly and dish out.

Thanks Kugan, looks lovely. What vege is used for the one in the picture?
Thanks Groucho anna.
Actually I do not add garlic for my chillie paste, the reason is,
at times when I make sambal, or fry noodles, I like to smash
the garlic and add it to the hot oil first. It gives out a very good aroma.
So I do not want more garlic in my dish, that's why.:-D
You can add garlic in your chillie past while grinding.
It is all personal preference.
Thanks anna, Kugan98
Anna, Malaysia vill enna kidaikum. Bayam thaan.
Spinach or bayam makes very good kutoo.
Get young tender ones, or get seeru keerai.
Full of iron. The children will love the fresh ghee smell.
Thanks, Kugan98
Okay to both post. The children in question here is my wife, eppadiyum sapida vachuduren :smile:
OH! Groucho anneh,:rotfl::rotfl:
In that case we have pasalai keerai, pulicha keerai, murungga keerai,
ahvithi keerai, manathakkali keerai so many types.
Will post one by one, Kugan98
I get to see both ahvithi keerai and manatakkali keerai in one of the pasar malams (Plum, not that movie) here and wonder what you can do with it. Thanks to you, I am making a trip there tomorrow.
DEv, something for you to cool down. You can use kiwi fruit if you like.

Selviem, thanks for all your nice posts.
Glad that all the recipes turned out well.
Yes, Selviem, you can use all purpose flour or maida

Its so cheap to make at home.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Aunties, Uncles, akkas and annas :lol:
For all those who are vegetarians/Vegans when you buy Gelatine, pls make sure that it suitable for veggies as most of them contains bone marrows of cows/pigs and horse!
Kugan, thank you very much for all the nice recipes that you have posted. Sorry I was away for few days, so I did not come to the forum. Nice to see so many posts from all our friends. Let me try out the recipes. Thanks.
Dragon Fruit Jelly looks so tempting :)

Gulabjamun, thanks for your post.
I think I owe a recipe for you or Rose75.
Its chillie potatoes I think. Sumi agreed to e-mail me.
I will post it soon.
Thanks, Kugan98
Roshan thanks for your nice words.
High protien flour means, bread flour made from hard, high-protein wheat. It has more gluten strength and protein content than all-purpose flour. It is unbleached and sometimes conditioned with ascorbic acid, which increases volume and creates better texture. Bread flour has 12% to 14% protein (gluten). This is the best choice for yeast products.
I at times use normal all purpose flour for my pizza or simple breads.
Thanks, take care, Kugan98
Suvai, be brave and buy the fruit.
Do not be scared of the word dragon:smokesmile:
Try it once, you need no lipstick:mrgreen:
Thanks Suvai, take care, Kugan98
Selviem, glad that your pizza sauce came out nice.
That's the most important item in the pizza making.
I am sure your base too will come off alright.
Do not make the base very thick.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
