Kugan's Kitchen

Thank you Dev. Your handi work saves a lot of time for all of us. Well done!

Dear friends, we just finished the 30 days prayers.
It was my father-in-law, the head of the family who passed away.

i would like to thank each and everyone for their prayers, kind words of comforts and condolences.
It was a shock to us as we looked up to him for everything in our house. He gave the orders and we obeyed .
He left so suddenly without a word. He was so healthy, we did not even dream that such thing would happen.

I would also like to thank each and every one who gave recipes and comments and kept the thread going.

We are vegetarians for a year. I hope to see many recipes on vegetarian dishes.
Thanks again every one.

Selviem thanks a ton for all your mails and forwards.
Thank you Selviem for the recipes.
Thanks again.

Dev, thank you very very much for the recipe index.
I am ever grateful to you.

Sorry I was supposed to give you recipes with lemon grass and galangal. Forgive me for the delay.

Dev is anything growing in your garden?
I will try to post few recipes soon.
Thanks Dev.

Welcome Back Kugan :D

I will start with a sweet dish.
I think I owe this to Selviem.


KASI HALWA

Ingredients:

500 grms white pumpkin grated
300 grms sugar
1 tbs cashew nuts broken and roasted in ghee
1 tbs raisins roasted in ghee
3 tbs ghee
Little kesari powder
Little cardamom powder
Little nutmeg powder
Water just to cover the sugar.

Method:
Squeeze the grated pumpkin with a muslin cloth.
Keep aside. (drink the juice do not waste it )
In a wok, add in the sugar, water, and kesari powder.
In a slow flame , stir till the sugar dissolves.
Add in the squeezed pumpkin and keep on stirring.
The halwa will thicken when almost cooked.
Add in the cashew nuts, raisins and all the powders with enough ghee.
Stir nicely, when it leaves the sides remove to a container.
The consistency will be a bit soft.
Serve hot or cold in a container with a spoon.

Thanks Thalafanz, for your welcome.
I just do not know how to thank you.
You were the first one to welcome me to Kugan's Kitchen.
And now you are the first one to welcome me after my sorrow.
Thanks again Thalafanz.

sorry to hear of your grief K. as kannan said in geethai, change is the rule of nature: இதுவே உலக நியதியும், எனது படைப்பின் சாராம்சமுமாகும்.

Friends are those with you in times of happiness and sorrow.

Kugan, welcome back!!!... my efforts to create the index is nothing compared to ur efforts in giving us yummy recipes...

No probs abt the recipes...i tried lemongrass tea, thai red curry & fried rice using the redcurry paste... everything turned out so good... Thanks a lot for the recipes... let me know if u have any other recipes using lg & galangal...

3 of the lemongrass plants have grown... galangal too is showing some sign of life... I left a few other lemongrass in water & those too are showing signs of life...I can see some roots & a leaf or two... planning to plant then also if they show strong signs of life...

On my part, have added Dev's Index to the frst post of this thread....
