Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

Sudha you asked NOV anneh chickenla kutoo can be done.
I am here to help out my NOV anneh.


I did the kutoo the same way we do sorakkai kutoo.
Instead of the sorakkai, I marinated the mock chicken,
with ginger garlic paste, chillie powder and tumeric powder.
Little salt and pan fried the chicken pieces and kept aside.

Boiled pasipparupu, seasoned with onions, green chillies, curry leaves,
mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, cinnamon stick.
When the kutoo was boiling, lastly added the pan fried mock chicken.
Removed and added little lime juice and cut coriander leaves.


The colour is a little darker due to the pan fried chicken.

Thanks Kuganka for the mild kurma. Yeh, it is good for the hot seasons.

Cold coffee, to make different types of pop ices. Try and see.

Kuganka,thanks for the kurma and pop ice recipes. Good idea to make pop ice with all the fruit juices and things. Well I usually ask you for recipes. Went to a dinner recently, they served mutton pickle, as a dish.
By the way do you know the recipe? The dish was a little " sotha sotha" not very dry.
I simply loved the dish. Thanks.

the cake tempted me so much to try on this weekend, but i AM cutting my sugar/honey/jagerry completely tilll september end . can i make the same using equal or splenda?

Kugan

Dear Ramrish, nice to see your post. yes, I heard that summer is very bad.
Well our friend has given us idea as to what we can use for pop ice.
Fruit juices would be best, like watermelon, strawberry and so on.

Oh school has started in US? I thought they are still in holiday mood.
I know to be in the kitchen, when it is so warm.
You all have AC in the whole house, but in Malaysia? Imm have to struggle in the heat.
Take care Ramrish, pop in when you have the time.
Take care, Kugan
