nov nice spreads photoes.. innum michcham irukkaa :)
Thanks Rose for your compliments.
Dear friends please forgive me for being away from the forum.
According to our family tradition, if a very, very close relative passes away, and they do not celebrate Deepavali.
We have to make the Deepavali goodies and send to their house 3 days before Deepavali.
I have a niece and aunty, who do not celebrate Deepavali.
I had to send goodies to their houses.
Also Thursday we prayed to our ancestors, lot of cooking.
About 6 close relatives came for dinner.
Deepavali day as usual, from morning cooking non-stop.
Sunday Ammavaasai, again had to cook, invited about 8 people for lunch.
Today night 16 close relatives coming for dinner, also Ruben's 15th birthday.
Just finished, cooking, hope to post the picture tomorrow.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
Dear Sangeetha, you are a gem.
Thanks for giving the link to Ramrishi.
Sangeetha, you know, I am not good in explaning how to upload pictures.
NOV anneh tried his best, knocked his head against the wall and gave up.
I had a Tamby called Tirumaran, in the forum.
He came on line and explained to me in details.
He too banged his head few times, at last he was successful.
I hope you can understand what NOV anneh is explaining to you.
Wish you all the success in uploading pictures.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
Thanks Ramrish for your nice post.
Ramrish, our family is very perusu, so have to make a lot.
Your list is just nice for a family.
Sangeetha has given you the link for the halwa.
You can try with 200 grms of flour.
1/2 cup ghee, and 2 cups of sugar.
Less the sugar if you think it will be very sweet.
Ramrish, you know the soft ball of flour we get in the end?
That is called gluten, vegetarian meat.
Just boil the ball of flour in water, remove, cut into slices.
Marinate with soy sauce, pepper, chillie sauce little ginger and garlic.
Then in non-stick pan, just pan fry the slices.
You have nice braised vegetarian meat.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
Dear NOV anneh, your spread is super, truly you had all the traditional goodies.
NOV anneh, I fainted on seeing your tray of burfis.
Thanks NOV anneh, take care, Kugan.
Happy diwali to all my dear friends :D
Oh,my God!,NOV Anneh, I have no words to express.

Allow me to repost what I posted in my facebook -
As I end the 16-day mourning period, my thoughts turn to the essence of Gita, which helps us understand our station in this mortal world.
We need constant reminders that the only thing constant in this world is Change.
Let peace prevail.....

Thanks NOV anneh, beautiful words of Gita.
Hello Kannan anneh, thanks for your nice post.
Anneh, the cranberry is just like our sour mango, so you can make the sweet patchadi, or thokku as one pleases.
Not necessary to add lot of kaaram.
So happy that the kadalai urundai came out nice in your house.
I just made pori urundai, sundal for prayers.
Adada, what happened to the masal vadai?
Sangeetha made it and it came nice for her, she posted the picture to me.
Kannan anneh, ungalukkum, masal vadaikum, etho oru prchanai irukku:-D
Take care anna.
Welcome to Kugan's Kitchen forum Peter Sir.
Very happy to know that you have tried few recipes.
I have posted few mushroom recipes, curry and masala.
Of course without chicken or mutton.
Since I am a vegetarian I can try with tofu or mock meat.
Hope you would be with us.
Take care.
