Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[rajraj]

I made pongal, nei appam, pori urundai and sundal.

enakku konjam anuppi irukkalaame!

paramashivan: Nice picture of ThiruvaNNaamalai temple! Brings back old memories I spent two weeks in ThiruvaNNaamalai for Survey camp in 1957. A friend and I climbed the hill hiking and reached the peak where they burn the lamp. Some of the oil was still there on the rock. Did not have a camera to take a picture from the top! You should leave Kailash and move to ThiruvaNNaamalai!

Hope all of you had a nice Karthigai Deepam day!

Uncle, that must have been an amazing experience! I will do that when I visit TN

You should leave Kailash and move to ThiruvaNNaamalai!

When it gets cold here in mount kailash, I would move to Annamalai

Thanks Aarthii for your nice post.
You must have made the mistake in the paagu patham.

Aarthii, sweet appam, nei appam, unni appam all are the same.
Sorry for confusing you.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

My dear Priya, do not hesitate to ask even if it is only a basic question.
We all learn from our mistakes and also by asking.

Well I called my aunt, and this is what she told me.
She might be wrong, if any one knows the correct answer please post it for us.

There are three kinds of Pori.

Arisi Pori is normal puffed rice
Aval Pori is puffed flattened rice
Nel Pori is puffed paddy
Aval Pori, the special puffed flattened rice is available mostly only
on those specific kaarthigai days. In the market, the shop keeper
would fry the flattened rice – aval and we bring it home fresh for
consumption.

Thanks and take care, Kugan
