Karthika and Dev, you made my day.
It's just like hearing the sweet voices of the children,
when they tell their mommy, "mom, we have passed our exam".
Thanks my dears, I feel soooo happy.
Take care, Kugan98

Dev, I have not heard about this plant.
I will ask around and get back to you.
Come on now, Dev and Selviem,
Do not give up hope, definitely you can
see light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep hoping, your prayers will be answered.
Thanks, Take care, Kugan98
[tscii]Karthika, here is a dried fish pickle.
My family used to love it before.
Since, I cannot cook it now, I have substituted
tofu for the dried fish, to show you , how the dish
looks like.
It goes very well with plain steamed rice.
Thanks, Kugan98

Kugan, I went through all your recipes.
I tried few non vege items.
All turned out very well. My family was very pleased.
It is very kind of you to part with all your family recipes.
Most of them will not do.
I also like the way you intergrade with the fellow hubbers.
Thank you kugan.
