Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

[dev]

yes Meerra, going on a holiday... I did soem research and asking around... some friends say we can cook noodles,soup right in the kettle if the heating element is concealed...also eggs can be boiled...I found some interesting instant Indian recipes which I'll post here if the experiment turns out satisfactory... Since it's a lil long trip with kids, I wanted to try some basic stuffs so that their stomach gets some relief from hotel food once in a while... looks like this kettle( http://www.flipkart.com/home-applian...1-0c9c6aa3a7da ) can help in some basic cooking other than boiling water...

Thanks Suvai and Dev, for your nice posts.
I was little busy in the weekend with a small function.
As you all know we do not have any sort of help.
All have to be done by us. Kugan has a maid to help out
Here everything is us.

I was so busy that I forgot to take the pictures of the spread that I had.
Dev, your tips with kettle cooking is amazing.
Should try one by one.
Thanks, Meera
