My dear aunties and uncles, this Rubenee. Kugan is very very sick. It will take about two, to three weeks for her to get better. Not only that two of my brothers are running high temperature. One has given blood to rule out dengue. If confirmed got to be admitted. My house in a chaos.
Kugan has been pestering me to post some thing.
She says she has promised someone that she will post.
Also a message to be posted for father's day.
(No father's day celebration in our house, as the chief cook is sick)
So she asked you all to forgive her for being away from the hub for some time.
Thanks. Rubenee.
Gulabjamun, cook this for the father's day.

A simple recipe: Natural rose milk
This is a recipe I madeup - my kid loves rose milk and I don't like giving her stuffs with artificial flavor and color.So I used rose gulkand and beetroot to make this rose milk.
Rose Gulkand is nothing but rose petals preserved in sugar...These are available easily even in small dept stores... Rose Gulkand is said to have a cooling effect on the body, reduces pittha and also has many medicinal properties... You can have the gulkand as such( 1 or 2 tsp a day)...very tasty...Don't eat too much as it is a mild laxative too... rose gulkand is commonly used in beedas...
I personally HATE rose milk and so I din't taste it... but the lil one loved it...So I guess it tastes good...;) all I can say is the flavour was superb and the color too...
Natural rose milk
To 3/4 cup of milk add1 thin medium slice of beetroot chopped roughly and bring it to a boil. Once the desired colour is reached( baby pink is what we are looking for here), switch off flame and let it cool down.
In a mixie grind together 1 tsp(or more) sugar, 1/4 cup water and 1 heaped tsp of rose gulkand. You can add more or less depending on how flavorful the gulkand is.
Add this mixture to completely cooled milk. Mix well and then strain.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
NOV, U have preventive for Dengue, chikunguniya, swine flu, chickenpox etc in homeopathy...ange ippo dengue seasonaa irundhaal and if u know of a good homeopath there, get it for ur family... The preventive will be effective for 3-6 months(depending on the medicine)...so eppo indha season aarambichaalum udane preventive eduthukalaam... prevention is better than cure...
thanks dev.....
btw, if we want rose milk, we just add rose essence, cochineal color and sugar to milk.... idhukkellaam oru recipeyaa? :lol2:
I'm not sure what cochineal color is... but I know we even get rose milk pwd which we just need to mix with water... all these have artifial flavour n color... as I mentioned in the recipe, I try to avoid artifial flavour n food color , esp in kids food... this recipe is for those few who might be interested in taking the natural route...Quote:

ayyO dev, romba tension aagareenga.... I just wanted to lighten up the mood. :roll:
did a google search and came to know tht cochineal color is color made from bugs... Though they say they are safe colors to use in food stuffs, the very fact that it is made from bugs repels me...:yuck: Thanks to NOV- I learnt something new today...
Hmmm... sari vidunga...:)Quote:

simply thaalichufy peas with sliced onion and red chilly. set aside
for the outer shell, dip bread slices in cold water and squeeze out water immediately. use a grinder and grind the bread to resemble a dough. do not add water.
assembling the bread bonda is just like how you would do a mOdhakam. take a ball of the dough and make a hole carefully not stretching it to cause tears. put a spoonful of peas mixture and close to make a ball.
Deep fry, and that's it. Delicious :slurp:
