Dev,Kugan: Congratulations on your idea of a blog. I finished my income tax return a few days back and thought about an index. This is what I came up with.
Recipe title ..............post number...........page number (depends on the display mode)
A lysrsort script won't work for this hub. It can be done with some effort. But it must be Rajaraman or some other moderator/administrator.
When Dev posts the recipes in the blog she can also create this list for the hub or update the list she created for the first few threads. Of course it is time consuming. Let the administrators and moderatore share the work. Ask them! You have contributed a lot and it is time they helped.
Dev, thank you very much for the link.
you are amazing, you do so many things.
I have no time for all these.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Rajraj uncle thanks for your valuable advise .
Uncle I am zero in all these fields.
I leave everything to Dev.
Thanks uncle, Kugan98

Friends, during our last month's visit to Singapore, we stayed in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, which is a five star hotel.
During lunch time my friends went looking for a Chinese Vegetarian Restaurant in the hotel. I was not keen to have anything, as I do not feel comfortable eating in a Chinese restaurant. One of the items they ordered was salt pepper tofu..
The dish cost a fortune in that hotel. Here is the recipe for all my friends. Enjoy.
SALT AND PEPPER TOFU
Ingredients.
Marinate:
3 firm tofu cut into cubes
1 tsp plain flour
1 tsp corn flour
1 tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp white pepper powder
½ tsp garlic powder
Little salt
Oil for frying
2 tsp oil
1 big fresh red chillie, seeded and cut fine
2 pips of garlic chopped very fine
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
¼ tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp sliced scallions
Little soy sauce
Method:
Marinate the tofu in the above ingredients for 20 minutes.
Do not use any water.
Heat oil in a pan, shallow fry the tofu until golden.
Remove and keep aside.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a pan, add in the chopped garlic.
Sauté well, add in the ginger, chopped red chillie,
Add in the fried tofu, the black pepper powder,
Soy sauce and the scallions.
Stir fry well for a minute and remove

So happy with your blog. Easy for us to refer to the recipes.
Waiting for your chicken biryani and kurma recipes.

Also thanks to all those who are helping.

Kugan, what a surprise? I was thinking about this salt pepper tofu.
You have posted the recipe already. I love it. You always give surprises.
Kugan, I ate a bitter gourd sambal in a restuarant. Very very tasty.
Please take your time, and post the recipe for me. I am very grateful to you Kugan.
Waiting for your recipe. Gulabjamun.

Thanks again.
Rose, I am very happy that your family is happy.
Mine is all, day to day cooking. Nothing special.
Thanks Rose for your nice words.
Take care, kugan98
Gulabjamun, thanks for all your nice words.
Please give us the feed back after doing the
salt and pepper tofu.
Your request for bitter gourd sambal is coming soon.
I do it often in my house. A little ripe bitter gourd,
makes very tasty sambal. Other requests coming soon.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Dev, as for your doubt, I asked around.
Some say that it is made from corn.
Some say that is well roasted little big rava.
I have not seen bansi rava.
I will ask my niece to buy me a packet.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Here is the bitter gourd sambal. Try it out.

K, I don't think it's made from corn... not that yellowish... I read somewhere that it's made from barley... maybe that is right...not sure... Do try it if u can get it ... I got mine from Reliance dept stores...
BTW, what is couscous made of?...
Done till 100 pgs from kk5... already 665 posts!!!... K, unga samayal aarvam...:thumbsup:
Thanks a lot, Aarthii........:D
Dev, thanks for your hard work Dev.
Many will benefit from your idea.
No need to crack:banghead: the head to get the recipes.
Thanks again.
Couscous is made from two different sizes of the husked and crushed, but unground, semolina of hard wheat using water to bind them. Semolina is the hard part of the grain of hard wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum), that resisted the grinding of the relatively primitive medieval millstone. When hard wheat is ground, the endosperm—the floury part of the grain—is cracked into its two parts, the surrounding aleurone with its proteins and mineral salts and the central floury mass, also called the endosperm, which contains the gluten protein that gives hard wheat its unique properties for making couscous and pasta--that is, pasta secca or dried pasta, also called generically macaroni. Couscous is also the name for all of the prepared dishes made from hard wheat or other grains such as barley, millet, sorghum, rice, or maize.
Thanks, Kugan98
