Hi Kugan,

[kugan98]

I made this, after seeing my friend doing kaya balls

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Ingredients:
150 grms self rising flour
30 grms corn flour
1 tbs custard flour
70 grms sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 egg (optional)
180ml milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbs oil
6 tbs of peanut butter
Little oil for greasing.

Method:
Mix all the flours, salt and baking powder.
Mix well and keep aside.

Whisk the sugar with the egg, until well mixed.
Add in the milk, mix well again.
Now add in the flour and mix until you get a smooth batter.
Add in the oil and the vanilla essence. Mix again and keep aside
for about 30 minutes.

Heat a kuzi paniyara chaty. Brush it lightly with some oil.
Pour some batter into each holes about ½ full.
Add a little dollop of the peanut butter in the middle of the batter.
Top up again with little batter to cover.

Once bubbles appear on top of the balls, and the bottom slightly browened,
Flip the balls over to cook the other side.
Once it is brown, remove the balls to a plate.
Serve with tea or as a snack.


NOTE: You can use jam , kaya or any filling of your choice.

Karthika, my recipe for Poosanikkai Morkulambu is the same as Kugan's... we add lil water to the curd while churning it... avalo thaan...

K, peanut butter balls looks so so soooooo yummy...

Suja, sry tht ur chapathis din't turn out well... maybe the flour... try the brand ur friend suggested and let us know... As for oil, I always add atleast a lil oil/ghee to any dish I make so that we don't lose out on the fat soluble vitamins... U can leave it out if u want to...

Aarthii, have u tried vahchef's version of kadai veg?... it's good...give it a try...

Hi Kugan akka and co

Nalaiku ellarum ready ah? I mean Shivarathri ku

Thanks K. I had my knee arthroscopy on Tuesday. Though the leg is still swollen, i feel better. I am taking it easy for now. The surgeon found a lump in the knee which was probably preventing me from straightening or bending it. Pray all will be good in no time.

[kugan98]

Thanks Dev, try the peanut balls for your little one.

NM, I am very happy for you.
I was thinking about you on the 1st.
I thought that you will be warded for few days.
Glad that everything is over.
Thanks to God. Take care, Kugan98

P.S Tamby, every year, I will be hopping from one Sivan temple to another for prayers. The last will be the Sivan temple in Sentul, which is near my house.


This year I was lying down in bed, with my legs propped up in high pillows

Hope others had a nice time.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Dev, I was thinking about Rose75's request for the fish recipes.
Suddenly I remembered about your request for vegetarian fish curry
I felt so bad. I have the recipe and forgot about it


Dev, according to my aunty, she learned the recipe from one cook who is the assistant to the famous "six taste king"

Dev, their method of making the fish slices is very confusing.
They ask to get a leaf called aadathodai leaf.
It seems it will be in a shape of a fish
spread the mixture on the leaf. put a small banana stem
on the middle of the paste, cover again with a leaf, then steam it.
remove the steam and cut into slices before frying.

Dev I tell you, see my method for making the fish, very easy.
But the gravy according to the recipe is very tasty.
No tomato, no coriander powder.
Happy trying. Kugan98

Dev, here is the recipe for you.
Accept my apologies
