Thanks Suvai for your nice post and pm.
So glad to see your response, I taught you will go into hibernation again joking only Suvai

For Christmas cooking typical South Indian dishes, sambar, rasam, vendi motchai pachadi, cabbage thoran, potato roast,
spinach masiyal, cucumber raitha, paal payasam, vadai and appalam.
Have made few cookies that Kugan taught me, and a cake.

We are having Ganapathy Homam on the 28th.
For that ven pongal, sambar, vadai, curd rice, coconut rice, and ponggal.
Lot to catch up Suvai


Suvai one suggestion, please come at least fortnightly.
Take 10 minutes less to have your dinner.
In the 10 minutes, log on and post a few lines.

I can see Kugan running after me with a big cane for being, athigaperasingge.
Hope my Tamil is right.
I know Kugan has told me that, NOV uncle, Dev, Selviem and you were her back bones for her,
during the start of the forum.
Ehtho, konjam pulambal
Thanks and take care, Meerra

Congrats to your son, I am sure he will win.
You must be a very proud mom of your children.
Ya, kids are happy because of the vacation, only moms have lot of work during that time.
Have you posted the recipe for that plum cake? Is it vegetarian?
If not post it when you have the time. You must be very busy now.
New Year too is just around the corner.
Thanks and take care, Meerra


NOTE: Rich Curry too belongs to Kugan

Dear Suvai, I almost forgot, Kugan send me the picture and recipe for patcha payir urundai.
She told me that you have requested. I forgot all about it. Sorry, here is the recipe.
Meerra.


PATCHA PAYIR URUNDAI

Ingredients:

1 cup green moong dal
A pinch of salt

½ cup lightly roasted grated coconut
3 tbs sugar or little more
¼ tsp cardamom powder

Outer Covering:
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tbs rice flour
A pinch of salt
A pinch of turmeric powder
A pinch of baking powder
Enough water

Oil for deep frying

Method:
Soak the moong dal for about 2 to 3 hours.
Now boil the moong dal with a pinch of salt in little water.
Do not over cook the moong dal. Drain excess water if any.

When the cooked dal is slightly cooled, add in the coconut,
sugar and the cardamom powder. Mash up the ingredients coarsely.
Now form lime sized balls and keep aside.

In a bowl, take the ingredients for the outer covering.
Add enough water and and make the batter.
The batter should be like the idli consistency, without lumps.

Heat oil in a wok, dip each of the moong dal ball in the batter.
Deep fry, till it is golden in colour.
Remove to a kitchen towel, and serve.
