Dear Kugan, I made your kovakkai curry on Friday-usually I always try out recipes before making for guests but I have so much confidence in your recipes
that I tried for the first time when we had people over for dinner. Came out very well!! Thanks a lot.
Yesterday, we had upma at a restaurant lunch buffet--Kugan, it was extremely soft. Do you think they may have pressure cooked it?
If you have a recipe for soft upma, please share.

Thanks again, dear Kugan!

Kuganka, nice joke recipe for missing friends.
Thanks for the recipe, looks very yummy.
What type of vermicillie did you use.

Thanks Gulabjamun for your nice post.
Actually I bought the roasted vermicilli from India.
If you are from Malaysia, try the shops in Brickfields.
You can buy the vermicilli and roast it your self too.
Thanks. Kugan
