Little bit more or less is o.k
Take care Suvai, it's nice to see you in the forum.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Dev, very very happy that your brinjal ka salan came out well.
Dev, once you pour the sauce on the chop suey, the noodles will soften a bit.
It will not be difficult to eat. The taste will be nice.
Oh! your kutti is only going to school in June.
I have a relative, who is going to Trichy to join her 3 kids in school there in June. The eldest is already 11 years, I do not know how the children are going to cope there. She says education here is no good.:huh:
Thanks, take care, Kugan98
My dear friends, a close friend of mine gave me this recipe and asked me to try it out. She said she tasted in a friend's house and it was that tasty.
Well since I do not cook fish, I tried it out with cauliflower.
It was truly tasty. Just pour it over your soft iddlis or oothappam.
Let it soak and enjoy. Thanks, Kugan98

Suvai, I am not good at browsing like our Dev. ( Neengalum browse pannrathil oru kilaadi thaan.) I do not have the time for that.
I asked my Malay friend as we have a Malay kuih called bengkang.
She was the one who told me about this Phlipino dessert.
Well I sent an SOS to my aunt and got the answer for your veeveekam: Not the same name, but the same product.
Will be posting the recipes soon. Since I called her she gave me a bottle gourd kutoo made with urad dal. Ithu eppadi irukku?:mrgreen:

Let me sort it out before I post the recipe.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
My friends, if we want a dipping chillie sauce, we will buy it at once from the super market. Why not we make our own? May be hard work, or we will think it would not be tasty as the store bought one.
Try this sauce and see. Thanks, Kugan98
GARLIC CHILLIE SWEET SAUCE
Ingredients:
200 grms fresh red chillies
7 cloves of garlic chopped very finely
700 ml water
4 tbs sugar or to taste
1 ½ tsp salt or to taste
2 pieces dried tamarind peel (asam keeping)
OR you can use kokum
Method:
Wash the red chillies, slice them.
Put them in a blender and blend till fine.
Use some water from the 700 ml water.
Mix the finely blended chillie paste, with the water,
chopped garlic, tamarind peel, sugar and salt.
Put the mixture in a pot, and simmer on the stove,
for about 40 minutes on a very slow fire.
Stir from time to time and adjust the seasonings.
Cook till the sauce becomes thick.
Remove and cool, remove the tamarind pieces.
Pour into a glass container.
Store in a fridge and serve as a dipping sauce.
NOTE: If you cannot get the tamarind pieces, use little
vinegar, to your sour taste.
If you want a very smooth sauce, you pour the cooked hot
sauce through a sieve, and then cool and store.

Well when the cake is still hot, the outer skin will be little crisp.
The next day the the whole cake will be soft.
The measurement for 400ml condensed milk is 1 3/4 cups.
I thought you will get a milk tin with 400 ml condensed milk.
As for the tamarind piece, I am posting the picture.
You might get it in the Asian market, or just use vinegar.
I am sure you know about the kokum we get in Kerala.
