Gulabjamun, I have not forgotten you. Here is the recipe for methu vadai.
I am not good in step by step, anyway lets see how it goes.
Thanks Kugan.
METHU VADAI
Ingredients:
2 cups whole urad dal soaked for 2 hours
Salt as needed
1 big onion chopped fine
2 green chillies chopped fine
¼ inch ginger chopped fine
5 curry leaves cut fine
2 tbs coriander leaves chopped fine
Oil for frying
Method:
Wash the urad dal and soak for 2 hours.
Drain the soaked urad dal well.
Now in a grinder grind the urad dal to a smooth paste.
Add the needed salt, so that it will loosen up the dal.
Just sprinkle water as you grind, the batter must be fluffy.
Transfer the ground urad dal to a bowl.
Add the rest of the chopped ingredients, mix it really well.
You can leave the mixture in the fridge for about ½ an hour.
While making the vadai, keep a bowl of water near you.
Just wet your hand, before making each vadai.
Take a medium ball sized batter in your hand, and place it on a plastic bag.
Just pat the batter slightly and make a hole in the centre.
Heat oil in a wok, just carefully slip the vadai into the oil.
The oil should be hot, but not too hot.
Keep the flame in medium, flip it over and fry till golden brown.
Drain it in a kitchen towel. Serve with chutney or sambar.
NOTE: The vadai should bounce up as soon as you slip it in oil.
That’s the correct patham.
Some like to add little crushed black pepper in the batter.
The soaked whole urad dal:

Kuganka, thank you very much for the step by step in making methu vadai.
Now I know how the batter consistency looks like.
I will add water for easy grinding, than add rice flour to make it thick.
Apuram, the vadai will be so hard.
Thank you ,thank you, even though the vadai is a comman dish, it needs so much of technic .
Thanks again. Gulabjamun
Hi Kugan and others!
How are you?
Kugan"s spread looks soo yumm and can I have the recipe of suji fruit cake?
I made melting moments cookies from joy of baking website...Attaching the picture..
It came out soo yumm but sinful with 1 cup of butter:-)
Here is the recipe
Recipe courtesy:Joy of baking
Ingredients:
Allpurpose flour - 1 1/2 cup
Corn Starch - 1/2 cup
Butter - 1 cup softened at room temperature
Icing sugar - 1/4 cup to mix in and another 1/2 cup for topping
I made my own by grinding regular sugar in blender.
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Method:
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch and salt.
In the bowl , beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated.
Cover and refrigerate the batter for an hour or two, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
When batter is firm, form into 1 inch balls and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for about 10 - 14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack that is placed over a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Put the confectioners sugar in a fine strainer or sieve and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the sugar.

Dear Ramrish, so nice to see you and your post.
We all know that you are a very busy mum.
We hardly have time for anything, once the children start schooling.
How is the little one coping with school?

Blueberry Coconut Dreamsicles
Prep time: 5 mins | Serves: 8
Ingredients
1 cup blueberries
⅛ cup liquid sweetener like Coconut Nectar
1 lemon juice
12 oz coconut milk
Instructions
Pour sweetener and lemon juice over berries and mix gently
Put coconut cream in a medium mixing bowl and whip until thickened adding in the blueberry mixture while whipping. Some of the berries will break down releasing their juices and creating texture. If you want the berries whole hand mix them in gently using a rubber spatula. If you prefer a quicker alternative and a more purple colored pop simply blend all of the ingredients together.
Pour mixture into popsicle molds. Place a 6 inch twig in place of the stem and freeze for 2 – 6 hours or until completely frozen. Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull popsicle from mold.
blue berries inge kidaikkavillaiye :(
