Suja, thanks for the nice cake and fish recipes.

I will try out the cake with egg substitute.
Also I will wait for NM's vegetarian fish curry,
and also will try out like your style.

Thanks, Suja, I am very grateful to you,
inspite of your work load, you have posted two recipes.

Take your time Suja, visit us when ever time permits.
We will be glad to see your post.
Thanks, take care, Kugan98

Suvai nga, thanks thanks for your nice, nice posts.

Suvai nga early morning "suprapaathemey" ungga post thaan ennakku. Athai paarthuvittu thaan aduthe velai.

I too had a vegetarian fish curry recipe.
We have to make the vegetarian fish.
My family did not like the fish, so I dropped the idea.
I will try and modify again and see.

Suvai nga, for cakes,
for every egg, replace it with 1 tbs flaxseed powder mixed with 3 tbs of water.
Or for every egg replace it with 1/4 cup of apple sauce.
For apple sauce you can use only 3/4 cup the maximum.
Try panni paarungga

Suvai nga, today I will post NOV anneh's 3 tired tea and kolok mee for you. Thanks, Kugan98

NM, what happened to your legs? Mutti valiyah?
Take care Nm, our health is very important.
Athuleyum legs. Will pray for you.

Please post your version of the fish curry, when time permits.
Please do not trouble yourself.
We all feel happy when our friends are healthy and happy.
Take care, Kugan98

Anyway, enough of my woes :).

Vegetarian fish recipe :)
....

if you like the mock fish, take some slices made of soya (300g) or if you are not keen, lightly fry some sliced tofu (hard tofu).

You need 5 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce, one large onions sliced or a handfull of shallots; 5-7 dried chillies, 2 ripe tomatoes chopped, 1 1/2 tsp of mixed spices (perunjeeragam, sirunjeeragam, kadugu, venthayam and ulunthu); some coriander if you like, 2 sprigs of curry leaves, salt and oil

In a pot, heat some oil and throw in the spices until the mustard seeds splutter, add dried chillies, onions/shallots and saute until its fragrant. Add the curry leaves and tomatoes. Mix and leave it to cook until tomotoes soften. Add the tofu slices or the soya fish slices and mix well. Leave it to cook for about 10 mins, adding hot/warm water( not too much).

Add the sweet chillie sauce and mix them together. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-10mins for the tofu/soya to soak in the sweet chilli. Add salt to your taste.
teh gravy should not be watery - the sauce should cover all the soya/tofu. Add coriander and serve hot.

Another variation is to boil some potatoes. Mash it. Add salt. saute some onions and chop some green or red chillies. Add the onions and chillies to the mashed potate. Add a little bit of flour (wheat flour plus 1 tsp of cornflour). make them into round cutlets, deep fry them and substitute the soya fish/tofu with this potatoe cutlets.

I am a potatoe and tofu lover, so for me anything with potatoes is great :). Try this and let me know... the trick is in the sweet chille sauce and onions......

:)

If you want to make curry,

do not use sweet chillie sauce or dried chillies.
Add masala powder instead (i use baba's :) ). but add it before adding the tofu/soya/potatoe cutlet.
And add a bit a kadalai maavu to make the gravy thicker just 5 mins before you stop cooking. I use this instead of coconut milk.

I'm sure everyone knows how to stir fry noodles.
A friend of mine introduced me to a vegetarian stir fry i.e instead of using eggs, she used mashed tofu.

So, in oil, when you fry the onions and pounded garlic, throw in some mashed tofu and fry together. You can then add in the bean sprouts, choy sum and mix together. Cube and deep fry some tofu.
Add this to the above mixture and stir together. And then you add the sauces (soya sauce, chilli sauce), and add the noodles.

Mix altogether. Add salt. Garnish with some fried onions and serve.
For those who likes crunchy bean sprouts, add this after noodles.
For those who loves prawns like me, add it together with the onions and garlic. :wink:

Dear Mrs K :

Do you have a recipe for making a good curry powder base? I am using Baba's but would like to make my own masala base - i did one once but it had too much coriander and mustard powder!!

Nandri-ngov!
