Well try out the enoki mushroom recipe and see.
Try with 100 grms first, some people do not like the smell of the enoki.
But this Indianised version, you do not have much smell.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
Sangeetha, I did not add any tofu in this dish, as I made tofu sambal on that day.
You can add in tofu pieces along with the chives as you cook. Kugan.

K I made your chinese fried rice for lunch and added chives in it. oh it just enhances the flavor like spring onions. the fried rice turned out so good. how come u design recipes that never fail K. thats why I bother u for each and every recipe. enakku neenga sonna adu veda vakku. even if there are million recipes for one small thing pls share your version K. hubby asked green chille paneer for fried rice like green chille chicken ,i browsed some blogs for a recipe but it turned out very avg dish.
thanks for the paal curry K.

For Fillings
5 potatoes boiled nicely

broken cashew nuts - 2 tea spoons
finely chopped coriander leaves - 2 tea spoons
finely chopped ginger - 1 to 1.5 tea spoon
finely chopped green chilles - 1 tea spoon
salt and ghee little
mash the potatoes and mix the given ingredients nicely
method.
try to make thin chapatis with the dough and make sure its round for achieving better shaped cones. in medium flame just for few seconds toss those chapatis slightly on both sides . Cut it from middle and fold in half. Spread some flour paste (maida mixed with water) on the corner of the chapati with your finger.(see the picture.) Then again fold it. (make a cone)Fill the cone with your stuffing. Seal the edges with flour paste and set aside. these can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer so that u have them handy. oil cautious people can microwave or bake but the baked ones will be hard and I dont like the taste.
deep frying to golden ones on both sides taste best.
the pic is taken from net for the folding procedure and those were tortillas not this version.

I've learnt to make delicious and easy way to make korma from her... I'll post it down now...
This is not something new, am sure many of you are expert in this.
I learnt this one from my mom in law few days before only lol and it was so delicious that I couldnt resist myself from sharing this :D
Main thing which I liked about this is no kas kas, no coconut milk and no masala except cinnamon stick.
Korma - simple and delicious:
Some vegetable apt for korma - required quantity (I made with 2 big potatoes)
Peas - 1 cup
Tomato - 2
Cinnamon stick - 1 inch.
Chilli powder - 1.5 tbsp
Coriander powder - 1.5 tbsp.
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Salt - as required.
Coriander leaves
To Grind 1:
Onion - 2 big ones
Green chilles - 4
Garlic pods - 10 (Smashed)
Ginger - 1 inch (Smashed)
To Grind 2:
Cocunut - 1 cup
Method:
First fry the items in 'To Grind 1' and grind it.
Then, in a cooker heat oil, add cinnamon stick.
Add chopped potatoes(or whtever veggies available), chopped tomatoes, peas, fry for a minute.
Then, add salt, turmeric powder, Chilli powder, coriander powder, the ground paste, mix well.
Next pour enough water till the veggies are submerged in water(Check for salt n spice, if required add more).
Close the cooker and keep it for like 4 whistles. Switch it off, let the steam settle down.
Grind coconut into fine paste. Open the cooker and add the coconut paste, coriander leaves, mix well.
Keep the full content in medium heat for 2 to 3 mins and switch it off. Enjoy with roti or ghee rice.
welcome back Madhushree. pls do visit the forum when time permits. lateta vandalum, Super allvavoda vandu irukeenga. thank you very much for your in laws recipe. Old is gold. I will try it out for todays or tomorrows dinner and post the feedback.
I also need to try your capsicum rice, mint rice and simple pulav. bookmarked them long time back as quick recipes but when in a hurry get tensed and run to hotel.
Hello all, so nice to see the forum very busy again. Thanks Kugan for all your nice recipes and guidance .
We are all really very grateful to you. I have learnt a lot from Kugan,s Kitchen.
You are very very generous with your recipes, and have a very big heart to share.
Thanks to all the others for posting their recipes too in this forum.
Keep up your good work Kugan. God will bless your family.
Gulabjamun.
i visited one tamil aunty on monday evening and background jaya tv arusuvai idhu thani suvai was going on. so i half heard this recipe as that aunty was talking. could not find tat program online. but i tried her asathal aviyal (thats the name) it came out tasty.
Asathal Aviyal (revathy shanmugam)
TIPS Given by her
boil veges like vazhakai yam potatoes seperately which will discolor, for better color of aviyal.
do not add curd at all for aviyal, if one likes add while serving on the plate. soaking the entire aviyal in curd will not taste good.
she told brinjal also tastes good but need to be boiled separately. poosani and guvar beans are must.
Ingrediants:
600 gms vegetables cut length wise ( poosani, potatoes, carrot, guvar beans, vazhakai, beans,chow chow,drumsticks,yam, etc)
paste:
coconut 1 cup,4 green chilles ,3 red chilles 1 tsp jeera, 6 small onions, cashew nuts - 2 table spoon
grind the above with minimum water.
boil the veges as per the tips then add the paste boil for another 5mins.
just before taking of the stove add 2 tsp coconut oil and chopped curry leaves.
thx sangee :D so sweet...
Dear Sangeetha, thanks a million for your nice post. Glad that you liked the Chinese fried rice dish.Quote:

madhushree,
thanks for an another recipe. i have tasted this poondu milagu kulambu from my college friends mom. she also taught me this during those days as i like this one a lot. but i forgot that recipe, thanks again this looks similar to hers the masala is same but just instead of frying the poondu for kulambu she told to put the poodu once the tamarind water starts to boil and then the garlic will be cooked in 10 mins.
now i remember. excellent with parboiled rice. appa winter start agum podu correcta kuduthitenga.
K i am sorry those pics were from net :ashamed::ashamed:
I am always lazy to pose for pics or even take pics. i need to work on that area.
Dear Madhu Sree, I did not know how I missed your poondu kulambu curry.
I looked for it after reading Sangeetha's post..
Sorry ma, thank you very much for the recipe.
I love poondu kulambu, any type. I will try and post the feed back.

Sangeetha, your post too brought tears to my eyes. I know Kugan is doing so much for us.

My family really appreciates my cooking nowadays. The credit all should go to Kugan.
