Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

[Aarthii]

Aarthii, I am so glad for you.
Very very happy that every thing turned out well for you.
I was keeping my fingers crossed till you posted about the party.
Try the garlic rolls, very easy.
You are lucky, you can get all the ingredients in the supermarkets there.
Here in Malaysia, I doubt you get ricotta cheese.
Also the Western stuffs are sooo expensive.
Take care. Kugan

yes akka,the party went well.I was very happy about the outcome of the dishes.Thanks for the cheesy buns kuganka.

Hi K.... just got back from Penang. Had the most delicious Nasi Dalcha there and was wondering whether you would have the recipe

HELLO FRIENDS,WISHING EVERY ONE A HAPPY HOLI

NOV anneh, I only know how to make the dalcha.
I asked around and they said, do the dalcha, add in the rice and cook it as a one pot meal.
My better half told me that, a certain stall in Penang is famous for this nasi dalcha.
It seems there will be a long line of customers waiting.
Also he said that there will be a kick in the rice.
He has tasted it before we became vegetarians.

A regular fellow hubber has asked me for the recipe of goat's brain prettal
Do you by any chance know the recipe anna.?
Thanks and take care, Kugan

We normally make simple paruppu kadayal. This is a little different.
Try it friends. Kugan.

Open the cooker, add in enough salt, use a spoon or “mathu” and mash the contents well.

Lastly add in the smashed garlic and saute till the garlic turns golden brown.
Add in the curry leaves, stir and remove.
Pour the seasonings on to the dal and mash again once more.
