Nov you are right. Most of the days we are vegetarians.
We only cook non-veg on a sunday, or if there is an occasion.
As for now we are vegetarians for a year.
Hope to continue with that.
Thanks Kugan98

[tscii]O.K still in the subject of soya beans, I make my own soya milk and curd. Good source of protein. Try it out.
SOYABEAN MILK
Ingredients:
3 cups soya beans soaked for about 8 hours.
A bunch of pandan leaves
2 litres of water, more little if you like
For syrup:
300 grms sugar
Few pandan leaves
½ cup water
Method:
Wash the soaked beans in few changes of water.
Some like to squeeze out the skin of the beans.
Separate the beans into 3 batches.
Add equal amount of water and grind till fine.
Squeeze out all the liquid with a piece of muslin cloth.
To make soyabean milk the exact amount of water added is not so important.
Put the milk in a large pot filling just about ½.
Add the pandan leaves tied in a knot.
Slowly bring to a boil. It tends to foam and overflow.
Make sure the fire is low and you are there watching the process.
Boil for about 20 minutes, so that the raw smell goes.
Remove and cool.
For the syrup:
Simply melt the sugar in the water, with the pandan leaves.
Filter into a container.
Serve hot with syrup or cool it in the fridge.
Note: What I do with the fibre of the ground soya bean.
I add little all purpose flour, little chopped onions,
Little chopped green chillie, little chopped coriander leaves.
Add some salt and fry it as pakodas.
Goes well with chillie or tomato sauce.

[tscii] Now for the soya bean curd.
SOYABEAN CURD
Ingredients:
3 cups soya beans soaked for about 8 hours.
A bunch of pandan leaves
3 tbs corn flour
1 tbs gymsum powder (calcium sulphate)
2 litres of water
For syrup:
300 grms palm sugar
Few pandan leaves
¼ cup water
Method:
Wash the soaked beans in few changes of water.
Some like to squeeze out the skin of the beans.
Separate the beans into 3 batches.
Add equal amount of water and grind till fine.
Squeeze out all the liquid with a piece of muslin cloth.
For bean curd the milk should be only 2 litres.
To make the beancurd, mix the corn flour and gymsum
Powder with 1 cup of water in a container.
Meanwhile boil the soyabean milk in a pot.
When the milk has boiled for 20 minutes,
Remove the pot and pour the boiling milk into the
Container where you have mixed the 2 powders.
Pour the milk from a height of about 2 feet from the container.
This helps the powders to mix evenly with the milk.
You should not disturb the container for about 20 minutes.
This will help the beancurd to set well.
Make the syrup with palm sugar and pandan leaves.
To serve, simply scoop beancurd into a bowl add syrup
Best eaten hot.
The soya bean curd.

Dear Kugan
I made double quantity of vathal kulambu and its all gone within days. Thank you for such a lovely recipe. I didn't have any vathal so I used fried shallots from the Chinese grocer. I used to buy dhill gravy paste from the Indian spice shop to make different flavoured kulambu. Your recipe turned out exactly with the same flavor. They lost a cusomer for the paste now.
Regards
Shanthy
