can i get some rolls. foruma thirandela pasi varudu. yummy pics. samathu payan.

thanks mandhu anna and k for the encouragement. i am so happy.

the problem is i cook slowly and by the time i finish the menu we r so hungry and eat them right away and forget to click. or if sometimes i do click i am so ashamed of it and delete them.

K those r mobile pics only. will slowly start uploading more.

Thanks Sangeetha for your encouraging post. Payan romba samathuthaan.
It is o.k, we learn slowly, I am too is not that fast.
I plan the dishes early, my maid will cut up every thing for me
Then it is easy for me to cook.

Do not worry your pictures will improve slowly.
Be proud of your self.
Thanks and take care

Dear Sangeetha, thanks for the feed backs on spinach moong daal and spicy brinjal curry.
Brinjal is my favourite vegetable. You can cook so many types of dishes with it.
It is o.k, not every time we have the chance to take snaps.
Take clicks when you are at ease.
Take care, Kugan

Kuganka, I think cooking runs in your family.
I made your baby corn manchurian, turned out great every one enjoyed it.
Your pizza and dinner rolls look so professional .
When you have the time please post the dinner rolls recipe.

Thanks Gulabjamun for your nice post.
Illama, it does not run, in Western countries, children are taught to be independant.
I was shocked to see my little nephew doing the dishes in US, I nearly cried.
My sis in law scolded me and said, there is no difference between girls and boys.
At 18 they have to leave home to stay in the hostel for studies.
What will they do if they do not know any basic things.

So you see only in Malaysia, we still do every thing for our children.
We too have to change.

Your recipe for dinner rolls will come soon. Kugan

Kuganji..

I think I can take some training on my visit to KL. ( In my house still "theendamai" is in practice and gents are not allowed inside the kitchen to do any work )

anyhow... while working we can consume some tasty raw materials and also some lovely items during work in process

Whether we get final recipe or not... the experience will be WONDERFUL !

Madhu anneh, "theendamai endru solli nalla thapikireenga.
So you escape all the work in your house

Look at our NOV anneh, such a talented cook
Vaangga, vaangga, ammiyil ellaam milagai arikanum
Rawva, bird's eye chillie kidaikum,
of course the experience will be WONDERFUL.

My dear friends, I am sure you all have heard this Barathiyaar song.


" veepamara uchil ninu pei ondru aaduthunu "


In my veepamaram you can see a pavakai aaduthu






NOTE: somehow a plant grew from the compost we threw under the veepamaram.

When you make paneer curry, do you have to soak the panner in Gram flour batter before frying the paneer ?

Dear P.S Tamby, I hope you will forgive me.
I am very very sorry, I did not know how I missed your post.
Mannikanum

Well when you make panner curry you need not fry the panner in gram flour batter.
That is only for manchurians, or chillie panner.
You can just shallow fry the panner, and add to your curry.

Sorry again P.S Tamby. Kugan
