haa haa...

I thought the cookies are made from buttermilk (மோர்). Then only I saw the gap between butter and milk.
Thank God. I really thought that we can use the extra buttermilk for baking cookies..

mm.. anyway these cookies are so beautiful. How to eat them ? It will take time to look and enjoy their appearance.
Thanks Kuganji..

BTW I dont know cooking at all. NOV is teasing me.

Thanks Dev for your nice post.
Let me tell you a small secret, I used a cookie cutter to cut the cookies

Since the dough is a empty dough, you can use a cookie cutter.

I will be posting a choco chip cookie soon.
You cannot use a cookie cutter for, the choco chips will be in the way of the cutter.

Let me too try your combination of carrot beans thoran.
I will try my host's lemon rasam and post the recipe.

Thanks and take care, Kugan

Madhu aanna, do not be shy. We will not tell anyone that you cook in the house.

Let me give you an idea, post with anni's name.
I really love all types of rasams.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Since this is the fasting month, I received a pm for this black glutinous rice porridge.
There are many styles of doing this. This is how I do.
Thanks. Kugan

BLACK GLUTINOUS RICE PORRIDGE

Ingredients:

1 cup of black glutinous rice
1 1/2 litres water
2 pandan leaves knotted

3 tbs of brown sugar
60 grms palm sugar
1/2 litre second coconut milk

250 ml thick coconut milk
¼ tsp salt

Method:
Wash the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak for about 3 hours.
Put the soaked rice water and the pandan leaf in a pot.
Bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes till the rice
is well cooked and mushy.

Add in the the two sugars and the 1/2 litre of coconut milk, cook well.
See that it does not stick to the pot.
You can add in little more water if the porridge is very thick.

Serve warm with slightly salted coconut milk poured over.

This is how the rice looks:

Narthangai rice has an awesome taste.. I like it better than lemon rice. But if you use kuccha narthangaais it may have a bitter taste. enga veetu vaasalil oru narthangai maram irukku.
