Hi Mrs Mano,
I tried your Mutton Kulambu II with vegetables.My hubby liked it. I used raddish & brinjal for the vegetable ,but I found that the kulambu lost it non-veg flavour. My doubt is have I added the correct vegi for it, or should I add Mutton more than Vegi?.
And I want to know the basic difference between Kurma & Kulambu.
Thank you in advance.
Dear Mrs Mano,
Can you post the Recipe for Maida biscuits! My friend told me that it is very easy using the oven.
Dear Mrs Mano,
I bought a raw papaya the other day. My husband keeps telling me that he had eaten a kuzhambu which uses green papaya and that it is very tasty.
Please give me a recipe for this
Hi Mrs Mano,
Can Paneer be baked instead of being fried !. In recipes like Palak paneer & so on..
Hello BKJigna!
You would have noticed Urmila’s points. Even Mr.Hemant has written about its side-effects in his previous website, I think. As Urmila said, Russia banned it and then it lifted the ban after 10 years. This is an issue which is going on debate for years without any firm result. I have also learned that it causes decrease in haemoglobin and increase in cholesterol. But nothing is proved and that is why many countries are encouraging the sale of them.
I occasionally cook in the microwave oven –using it to prepare occasional sweets and sometimes roasts. But I am reducing the use of it gradually.
You can go through this link which has the facts on microwave ovens.

Hello R!
I couldn’t understand what does that word’ sotrupai’ mean. I never heard anything like it.
Dear Indu!
We can try the carrot halwa in the gas stove itself. You will get the same taste. But I am not sure about the palgova. I will try and then tell you after that.
Hello Pammi!
Here so many people are using Halal chicken. But, what does ‘zatka’ mean?
Hello apujittu !
If you want to prepare the mutton kuzhambu with vegetables, you can prefer drumsticks and potato which will enhance the non-veg flavour. Radish always dominates the curries. And you should not add more vegetables in a mutton kuzhambu. For 1 kilo mutton, 2 drumsticks or 2 potatoes are enough.
Are you asking the difference between a non-veg kuzhambu and kuruma?
A non-veg kuzhambu is always having so many spices where as kuruma is having only less spices-fennel seeds, coriander powder, poppy seeds and gram dal. Coconut is the main ingredient in kurumas and less coconut is used mostly in non-veg kuzhambu varieties.
About maida biscuits-actually maida is being used in every biscuit preparation in India. So which type of biscuit do you want? Have you asked microwave biscuits?
About baked paneer-yes. You can bake paneer and then add them to the curries you want.
