Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[rose75]

Kuganka, Ijust do not know how to thank you. You know my elderly parents just take cooked oats with little salt for breakfast. You know how boring it will be to take the empty oats daily.
They were so happy when I told them about oats idli, and all the rest of the dishes that you are going to post.
Kugan you know how they blessed you. Everyone's blessings will do you lot of good.
I too pray that you live long life without any health problems. You are jem of a person.
These are all not praises,all from the heart. Rose75

I really do need the blessings of the elders.
Thank you very much, I will post more oats recipes soon.

Kugan, thanks for the prompt response. I will soak the dal tonight. Oats idli looks great, I'm going to try that right away.

Thanks Lakme, hope the recipe turns out well for you.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

Kuganji..
if we add tamarind water used in normal rasam recipes will it change the taste of koLLu soup ?

[kugan98]

O.K Dev, my aunt has e-mailed me 2 kambu adai recipes and 1 kambu roti recipe.
Now you and Madhu aanna cannot run away from the kambu thingi.

Madhu aanna also has not commented on the oats iddli.
More recipes are coming with oats.
Take care, Kugan

[kugan98]

Madhu aanna, you can make kollu rasam, just like our rasam.
The recipe I gave was for kollu soup, so no tamarind.

I am reposting my kollu rasam recipe for you.
Thanks. Kugan
