Ahem! tried my hands at bread making. Wow, so tasty and better than store bought.
Try it friends. Kugan98
PLAIN WHITE BREAD
Ingredients:
4 cups bread flour
2 tbs full cream powdered milk
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp bread softner
¾ tsp bread improver
2 tbs olive oil
¾ cup warm water, little more or less
1 tbs yeast
2 tsp sugar
¼ cup warm water
1 tbs olive oil to coat
Method:
Mix the yeast, sugar and warm water in a container.
Cover and let it froth for 10 minutes. Keep aside.
Mix the flour with all the other ingredients with your fingers,
except the warm water and oil.
Now make a well in the middle of the flour, pour in the yeast mixture.
Knead the flour, slowly adding the ¾ cup of warm water and the oil
in between, you should knead for about 10 minutes.
The dough should be soft and smooth.
Place the dough in slightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth.
Let it rise until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough again, and knead for another 2 minutes.
Place in a well greased loaf pan and cover, allow to double again.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C, for 10 minutes.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until done.
Remove from tin and allow it to cool down completely.
Slice and enjoy with your butter and jam.

kuganka,bread looks great !
Bread softener and Bread impover means what?
can u tell me the brand name?
Bread looks awesome !
K, we do get both the sauces U've mentioned in the recipe... U see, these days, there is jump in the number of expats in the city and also ppl who have travelled far n wide....adhanaalayo ennavo I can see many imported stuffs...I even found japanese nori sheets(the one used to make rice rolls) in a store!!!... we also get rambutan, lychees, star fruit, dragon fruit, kiwi fruit etc... enna vilayay ketaal thaan thalaiyay suththudhu...
Mango jam ethoda saapida nalla irukkum?... I've lost my sense of smell (not fully though...I still can smell strong stuffs) after a bout of cold, ear infection and wheezing... oru tasteum(other than salt,sweet,hot n bitter) theriya maatengudhu... :banghead: :cry: so no enthu to cook or eat... any remedis pls sollunga...
dev, this might be old news for you, but my mom used to make rasam, normal rasam, but with additional dry chilli (for the heat), and seeragam (I don't know, udalai seer-AkkumO?), but it sure help (vonly help, not completely wipe out) to rid of the phlegms. Recently, I noticed extremely spicy Tom Yam does the same. Take care, hope you are feeling better.
Dear Aarthi, thanks for your nice post.
Bread improver and softners are ingredients to make the bread soft.
I am posting the pictures of those that I bought here.
I do not know what brand they sell there.
You can do the bread even with out those ingredients.
Only tjhing is that the bread will be a little hard.
Try it out without the ingredients.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Dev dear your post only brought tears to my eyes:cry2::cry2:
I know how difficult to be sick. You have been my great help.
What about the treatment you are taking.
Dev, I am posting something which says onions are good. Try
Dev, the hot jam was served with biryani rice in the wedding.
I think, the jam will be good with bread, chapathi and things like that.
It was a clear yellow jam with small pieces of red chillie here and there.
It was really very tasty. Try it when you are better.
Take care, Kugan98

Groucho, thanks for the tips... tom yom sounds interesting... here we usually take chicken soup, selavu rasam, thoothuvalai-musumusukai rasam...
K, thanks... I've never had anything sweet along with biriyani... will try this mango chutney...:)
Gongura plant eppadi vaikanum?...should we get a plant with roots n plant it or start with seeds?... gongura inga rare... but S loves gongura in dhal(or anything sour for that matter ;) )... the chutney looks super good...
Dev, my favorite remedy is honey with manjal podi--mix half tsp turmeric in 1 Tbsp honey and eat. You can do this every few hours; gives good relief. Hot milk with turmeric also helps.
Get well soon!
Dev, we have a family recipe for sweet tomato jam, which goes very well with pulao rices. It is very famous in our circle of friends and family. Sweet but tasty.
I have posted the recipe long time ago.
As for the gonggura plant, it is so easy.
After removing the leaves from the cut gonggura plant,
just stick the cut plant into a pot, or in your garden.
It will just grow, no efforts needed.
Dev, take care of your self. Try the methods given by our friends.
The methods are simple and harmless. Take care, Kugan98
Thanks Lakme for your nice tips.
Hope all these help our Dev.
Anyone else with home remedies?
Thanks Kugan98

Dear Karthika, all my recipes are with pictures.
I see no reason, why you cannot see the pictures.
You do not need special permission to see the pictures.
Karthika, may be if you are seeing the forum from your office,
they might have something to blok the pictures.
Hello, if anyone knows anything about this, please kindly help Karthika.
Thank you and take care. Kugan98
You are right Dev, after plucking the leaves from the plant,
Just plant the sticks in your garden or pots.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
