Dev, see that your snake gourd is young. If old the vege will be little hard.
You can have it with chapatti or rice.
Dev you can make shorbert with fruit juices for your little one.
I make mango , watermelon,strawberry, orange type of Popsicles for the children.
I am sure your little one will enjoy it.
Thanks and take care, kugan

Kugan your tayir sat ham was a super hit in our house. It tasted very creamy.
The adding of butter gave it a nice taste. Thanks to the friend who requested for it.
Kugan I know you are very busy, I am longing for the tomato mint chutney.
Hope you will post at your earliest. Thanks Kugan

What is this? Oh you mean Thayir Saatham ?

[kugan98]

Thanks Gulabjamun for your nice feed back.
Gulabjamun, I know I am having a big backlog of recipes to be posted.
Most of them are requests from friends, who are nice and help me to keep the thread going.
I am really indebted to them.
At times because of workload and sometimes of my memory I over look them.
Please bear with me, and kindly remind me if I have forgotten.
Some old recipes that are in the draft are easy for me to post.
Some times I will have to type out the recipes, that's the delay.
I am a one finger typer
Thanks and take care, Kugan
