Thanks, frienz, for the nice posts.
Selviem, Aarthii, Suvai, Rose and Gulabjamun.
Imm, what happened to our Dev?:think:
Kugan, goes for her follow ups.
She is fine, sends her greetings to every one.
Suvai ungga last post:idontgetit: What dish is that?
Anyway it was fun to read. As usual paathiram urutal.
Meerra
Frienz, actually kugan asked me to post lot of non-vege recipes before she left.
I do not know why, my family decided to go vegetarian, till Kugan goes home safely.
We only take chicken, fish and eggs, that too only on weekends.
Now we find going vegetarian is not that difficult.
Maybe, who knows, we might become vegetarian for life.:-D
NOTE: If anyone needs any non-vege recipe, please do not hesitate to ask.
Of course I will post it without the pictures.
Thanks. Meerra
Hi Meerra, glad to know Kugan is keeping well... :)

Let me ask around and see first.

Unga adrett supernga...:lol:
yes Meerra, going on a holiday... I did soem research and asking around... some friends say we can cook noodles,soup right in the kettle if the heating element is concealed...also eggs can be boiled...I found some interesting instant Indian recipes which I'll post here if the experiment turns out satisfactory... Since it's a lil long trip with kids, I wanted to try some basic stuffs so that their stomach gets some relief from hotel food once in a while... looks like this kettle( http://www.flipkart.com/home-applian...1-0c9c6aa3a7da ) can help in some basic cooking other than boiling water...

I was little busy in the weekend with a small function.
As you all know we do not have any sort of help.
All have to be done by us. Kugan has a maid to help out:-D
Here everything is us.
I was so busy that I forgot to take the pictures of the spread that I had.

Should try one by one.

Frienz, I did a fruit arrangement, how do you all like it?
Hello Aunties :lol2:
I yaam back ,had some personal problems , but now things are being sorted , so I can post regularly :)
Meera akka is fullfilling Kugan akka's sevai, hats off!
Belated Birthday wishes Suvai inga :)
Dev Aunty
How are you ? :yessir:
Meera, the pineapple gojuu, sounds very yummy.
I will try it out soon. your fruit arrangement looks super.
Meera, you are wonderful, your recipes are all very nice.
I will try out the pineapple gojuu soon.
By the way Meera do you have any recipe for gravy made with groundnuts?
If you have , kindly please post it for me.
Thanks, rose.
Tip: Dosa batter gone sour?... kids refusing to have dosa along with chutney?... mix some mint/coriander chutney(without adding tamarind if it si for reducing sourness of the batter) to make some delicious, colorful dosas...:) you can also add tomato chutney, carrot/beetroot chutney etc... tomato chutney will increase the sourness of the batter though...
Meera, that's a beautiful fruit arrangement!!!...will try to replicate it sometime... what is the base used to stick the fruits?...
Dev
Ungaluku naan hello sonathu theriyalaiya :x
enakku hello soneengala???!!! neenga verai yaaro auntyku thaane sonnenga!!!...
Thank you Rose for your post. Please hang on, I will soon post the recipe for you.
Take care, Meerra
Ah, brother, nice to see you active in the forum again.
I know you cannot cook, but atleast leave a comment for the dishes
posted by us. We will feel happy.
Thanks for inquiring about Kugan. Take care, Meerra
Dev, thanks for the tips on sour dosa flour.
I am sure many will benefit from it.
as for the fruit arrangements, actually I saw it in my friends house.:-D
She had done it in a round bowl.
Since I was having a function in my house.
I bought a basket and did the arrangements there.
You need the little hard type of sponge, plastic spikes and fruits.
I used two types of melon, strawberry, grapes and pineapple.
You can use any fruits of your choice.
Take care, Meerra
