Dear Rose, thanks for your beautiful post.
I know how eager you are for the rojak recipe.
Nothing to worry, since I have it in my file.
I will post with the chillie squid slices.
This squids are mostly preferred by the Malays.
They even have it with nasi lemak. Thanks and take care, Kugan98

I cannot post it in one go. So I will separate them into 3 parts.

kugan I do not know how to thank you. I am so over joyed. I feel like jumping. Your pictures look so nice. Feel like eating out of it. It looks like how we have it in the stalls. Preparing in the house will be more healthier and clean. For sure I will be cooking this rojak this week end.
Thank you kugan, you have a very big heart. Take care Rose
kugan one more request. You know something called kampong fish. They will stuff from the back with spices and deep fry the fish. Normally they sell in Malay stalls. Well I can guess you must be thinking this Rose is a " kavichi periyai " You are right, I love lot of non-vegetarian food. Please take your time to post. Thanks kugan.
Dear Aarthi, thanks for your nice post.
I do not think you would have tasted such rojak in India.
Take care, kugan98

Dear Dev, happy anniversary-wish you many more.
Western people do their pancakes with flour, milk and eggs.
We do our pancake with curds and things.
I read about this Japanese pancake in a magazine, while in hospital.
I tried and it is a good for teatime or for breakfast. Kugan98.
JAPANESE PANCAKE
Ingredients:
1 cup skinless moong dal, soaked
½ cup raw rice, soaked
½ cup zucchini cut into matchsticks, add little salt and keep aside
½ cup carrot cut into matchsticks
2 red chillies chopped
2 stalks spring onion chopped
2 tbs coriander leaves chopped
1 tsp coarse black pepper powder
Salt to taste.
Oil
Method:
Soak the moong dal and rice for about 3 hours.
Drain and blend in a blender to idli consistency.
Now squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini.
Add that to the batter.
Add in all the other ingredients, except the oil
Mix everything well.
Now heat a pan with little oil.
Pour a ladle full of batter in the pan.
Let it spread by itself. When bubbles become visible on the surface,
flip it over and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Do the same with the rest of the batter.
Serve with any dipping sauce or chillie sauce.

Dear Lakme, thanks for your beautiful post.
Do try the Japanese pancake. The batter should not be very thick.
You will get soft pancakes, if the batter is not very thick.
You can add in any veges of your choice.
A very healthy breakfast item.
Thanks, Kugan98

Kugan your sambar looks so awesome. Can we use any other vegetable and do the same method for the sambar? Kugan have you heard anything like Bombay chutney?
It was served in a function. I know there are so many requests to you. Take your time no hurry. Thanks.
