Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

dev,
i made ur noodles, with aachi mutton masala, with little bit of soya granules, it was super. in my house, if i use the flavour of mutton or chicken to noodles, pasta and macroni kids will love it. also my son will pack for his friends too.
i normally use aachi chicken or mutton masala for noodels, macroni, pasta, kadalai curry, ofcourse for chicken and mutton curry, instead of garam masala powder for veg kuruma i use a bit of aachi either of these two masalas, cauliflower and potato dry masala.Download: eType1.com/f.php?FJNv0e

i bring aachi masala from india, here we get those masala, but it is slightly different.
also i use for bread stuffing, patties, etc

kugan,
i made ur tofu jalfrezi as paneer jalfrezi for lunch. waiting for the feedback from kids.

Glad u liked my method of doing noodles... I saw a recipe on youtube for chicken tikka hakka noodles by chef Harpal singh sokhi... chk it out...I think ur kids will really enjoy it...

Thanks for the tips selvi...I'll also try it in dry curries...as well as other gravies n pastas...:)

Thanks Kugan for the SPICY CREAMY OKRA's recipe. Okra is my fav vege. Sure will try out.

dev,

thanks for refering chicken tikka hakka noodles, we watched its so interesting, will try after the pooja.

Do try n let me know how it turns out...I can't cook it at home coz of the NV ban...maybe I'll try with some paneer tikka or veg tikka... n yes, I love this chef's channel... such an energetic guy...typical punjabi man...:)

K, Sorry to hear about your health. Take care of your health.

how to make paneer :roll: ?

spicy pasta looks yummy... will try it once I get the sauces...:)

Balaji, here's how to make paneer...

1. extract juice from 1 lemon n mix with a tbsp of water...you can use vinegar or sour curd/buttermilk instead...
2. bring abt a ltr of milk to a boil... reduce flame to low
3. slowly add in the lemon juice/vinegar/buttermilk...keep mixing...once u see the milk start curdling ,stop adding the juice and see if the milk is fully curdles...else add some more juice...
Let cook for a minute and then switch off flame...
4. line a wide strainer with a clean cloth and pour the curdled mixture...the curds will now be collected in the cloth... you can also collect the whey water and use it to knead chapathi dough...
now pour some cold water over the curds and then make it into a bundle n strain out as much water from the curd as possible ...
5. hang this cheese bundle for about 1/2 hr or so... (if u want to make rasgulla,rasmalai etc,stop at this step)
6. then place on a flat surface and place a heavy weight on it and leave for ab out an hr...
7. take off the weight and remove the cloth in which it was bundles... cut into desired shapes...

Thanks Dev. oh, ivlov panna vendi irrukuma. Will try once.

Many thanks Kuhan. I was particularly looking for something without yoghurt, buttermilk, cream and mayonnaise. Third option looks great. Will try it soon.

Hi Dev.. nalla irukkaen.. neenga eppadi? I am in Kabul. I prefer the dressing with minimal masala and I mostly like the Eurpoean style dressing. The 3rd option in Kuhan's recipe looks perfect for me. For fruit salad I prefer plain yoghurt without spices,sugar or salt.

Me fine Roshan...:)

Ok ok...try the 3rd dressing then...:)
