Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[kugan98]

K, actually it was a lemongrass plant... it survived a couple of yrs only... but we made good use of it as long as it was there...now we get dried lemongrass here...so tht's not a prob...
Ice cream innum few scoops thaan irukku... oru 1 week break vittu 2nd round senjida vendiyathu thaan...

K, we got a huge jackfruit from a friend but we had to cut it open when it was semi ripe as it started rotting pn one part which I guess adupattufied while in transit... Wht can I do with this semi ripe jackfruit...I made poriyal today and it was good... halwa seiyalaama?... chips konjam try panninen...it came out okay.,..wht else can I do with this very mildly sweet semi- ripe JF?

Ops, Dev I thought it was pandan leaves.
Now they are very strict with the plants in the flight.
You can get pandan essence here


Dev, you can make halwa, jam, payasam, poriyal, chips and curry with semi ripe jack fruits.

Dev, I know the bean paste, normally here they stuff the steamed pau with that.
Well we can put them into the ondeh-ondeh and do also.
I know the powder they use for the cut fruits.
It is sold in packets, that's the craze in India now.
My aunt will request for it every time I go to India.
I will get them for you. Thanks and take care, Kugan

K-sis, you should introduce many more Malaysian palagAram. My mission was to interrogate my mother (back then we sell kuih-muih that my mom makes, picked up from a Minangkabau aunty) and get the recipes out, but I think you are doing a fantastic job in getting these wonderful delicacies out there for our Hub guys and gals.

Otherwise, I confess I am only following this thread here and there Innum konjam discipline-A iruppEn. Hope you and your family are fine (I mean, seriously, how is your health now? 100%?)
