My friends how did Mothers Day go for every one?

Well Rubenee and my maid banned Indera and myself from the kitchen.

For breakfast she made, baked spicy potatoes, French toast, vegetarian Chilla,
Spicy iddli fried, baked beans and orange juice.
Enna breakfast O


Lunch was mint pulao, brinjal raitha, brocooli steamed, keerai prettal and salad.
Enna combination O


Tea was cake, spring rolls, jelly, halwa, and parppu vadai
I made shotbread cookies for them.

No one had any space for dinner, even though she made dosai and tomato mint chutney.

I will post the pictures soon.

Thanks and take care, Kugan

Thanks Suvai, reading your post always lightens my heart.
Poor Rubenee she is not that competent yet.
She relied on the maid for the cooking.
Anyway we all enjoyed the food.
Here is the spread, not that great, but worth it.

Roshan, I do not know how I missed this recipe.
Except for the curd and rice, other ingredients vary from person to person.
This is how I make for the house, if giving for people, I will add carrots and cucumber grated.
Try it out Roshan. Kugan



CURD RICE

Ingredients:

1 cup rice, cooked till soft.
Salt to taste
1 tbs butter (optional )
1 cup of thick fresh curds or more as needed
½ cup milk

For Tempering:
1 tsp oil
¼ tsp asafoetida powder
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp urad dal
1 dry red chillie cut into pieces
1 inch ginger chopped finely
2 green chillies chopped fine
1 sprig curry leaves


1 tsp finely chopped coriander leaves

Method:
Cook the rice with salt to a mushy consistency.
Add in the butter if using. Let the rice cool well.
Now add in the curds and milk, mix well and keep aside.

Heat a pan with the oil, add in the asafoetida powder.
Followed by the mustard seeds, urad dal and red chillie.
Saute for a second, now add in the ginger, green chillies and curry leaves.

Just stir for a moment, and add it to the curd rice.
Mix well, add in also the coriander leaves.
Serve the curd rice chill, or as it is , serve it with pickle or fried mor milagai.
Spicy potato subji, or even paruppu thogayal would be nice.
You can add more curd if your curd rice thickens.

NOTE: You can add freshly chopped fine onions if you like.
Also you can add in grated and squeezed cucumber.
Some even add grated carrot,small chopped mango, for a difference.
