Selviem, thanks for your nice post.
Please post us if you have any type of fried rice.

My Malay friend told me, just have some cold rice.
Slice some onions, smash some garlic, have some anchovies.
Little fresh red chillies sliced. Heat oil add in the garlic, onions, anchovies, saute well, the aroma will be so nice.
add in the red chillies, add in the rice and some soy sauce.
stir well, your fried rice is ready, so simple.

Thanks, Kugan98

Rose75, thanks for your nice post.
It would have been better if you have mentioned what you cooked. That will give the confidence to others to try.

To night I will post two types of dishes made from snake gourd, which I had in India.
Thanks, Kugan98

Dev Sudha unggala nallave bayam muruthuraangga.

Dev Ragi Huri Hittu is nothing.
Ragi means our kevur.
Huri means roasted
Hittu means flour
So it is roasted ragi flour.
You can make a healthy drink by adding milk and sugar.
You can make ragi sweet balls, or anything that you can make with roasted ragi flour.

Thanks, happy lots of drinking ragi malt :lol:

Vangga Sudha, nallama? ungga sarbil oru fried rice recipe podungga. Thanks, Kugan98

Sudhaka, the lil one takes ragi porridge for breakfast and nothing else... so when we travel, it's a big headache... I have to find an accomodation where they allow atleast light cooking or where they can do it for us... So I thought of experimenting with it if it really doesn't need to be cooked!!!...

[tscii]Rose, here is a simple version of the snake gourd kootu.
