She gave me her phone no. I missed placed it. :banghead:
I really miss her.
Another friend is our Madhu,

Selviem is busy with her kids.
So is Sudha with her celebrations.

Dev, too many functions to attend
NM, where are you?
SP, SS, Nithi, NOV anneh, PS, Thiru, hope all are fine.


I pray that all my friends are safe and healthy.
Thanks, take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Rajraj Sir, I often make panjamurtham, when I have special prayers in our house. Our children love it.
Thanks, Kugan98.

[kugan98]

Friends, I accompanied my friend to go shopping.
I was surprized when she took about 4 to 5
bottles of the omma water. (Its about 250ml each bottle)
I asked her what she does with so many.

She told me that her children cannot go without the
omma water. For stomach pain, heart burn, acidity,
and even vommiting. She will give it to them.
Even her elderly parents need this omma water.


I asked her why don't you make your own.
I have heard that distilled omma water is the best.
It is very expensive. Commercially made ones,
use a type of chemical to do the water.
I told her how my grandma used to make her own.


OMMA WATER

Ingredients:
3 tsp omma seeds cleaned.
2 cups of water

Method:
Dry roast the ommam seeds, till you get a nice aroma.
add the roasted seeds to the water and bring to a slow boil. Boil well till the water reduces to 1 1/2 cups.

Cool and strain it.
You can give 1 tbs of this water when needed.

K, no functions this month...:) Kid is down with cold & mild stomach problem... So I don't come often... but I do read all the posts... just don't feel like posting anything...

BTW, how do we clean omam... I've heard tht it should be rubbed between the palms & blown some 7-8 times to remove the husk...is tht how u do it or is ur method diff?... & how long can we store this omam water?

[NM]

itho vanthuttEnungga K and :slurp:

Have been pretty busy on the personal side and also bz searching for the best deal to travel to South india :)

Mrs K - you must really love to cook! all those nice pics! Hmm .. i remember a time when i used to make the different types of agar-agar for birthdays and Deepavali and they used to sell special moulds too! I used to make the corns, fruits, marble ... .. i haven't made them in a long time but perhaps I should .. for Ananthiy :wink: !

Suvai-ngov! neengathaan enna ungaloda shield-a vEtchittungele, athaan naan engeiyum move panna mudiyala :lol:

[selvieam]

thanks for the explanation suvai. i will try the colourful veges. suvai i gave mail, please check.

[selvieam]

kugan, thanks for giving the method of oma water. my mom use to clean the way how dev explained, after that she washes it. strain the water and dry it in the hot sun and store the seeds.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Kugan ka pls check your pm ASAP
and reply to it asap

[kugan98]

Dev, my grandmother used to put the ommam in a muram, rub with her hands, then she will remove the hushs and things by vinowing (pudaikkirathu)

Quick wash, srtain, dry and will be stored.
She normally will make only the amount that I have stated. You have to cool the omma water properly, then store in a dry bottle. Good for about 2 weeks.

You can now put it in the fridge, take out before 1/2 an hour and use it.

Take care of your little one. Aishu too was given a nebuliser to clear her chest cold.
Take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

NM, I can understand your position.
Do not worry, take your time.

Hope you get a good deal for your trip.

[tscii]Suvai nga, semiya idli is made in many ways.
this is how we make. Very healthy because of the veges.
Its a good tiffin for the childrens.
It can be eaten plain or with any chutney of your choice.


SEMIYA IDLI

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups broken pieces of semiya
¼ cup rava
1 tbs ghee

1 ½ cups nicely beaten curds
A pinch of baking soda
Salt to taste

1 tbs minced coriander leaves
1 sprig curry leaves minced
2 green chillies chopped
2 tbs chopped onions
1 tsp grated ginger
2 tbs finely cut carrots
2 tbs finely sliced cabbage

Seasonings:
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 tsp channa dal
1 tbs oil

Method:
Roast the semiya and the rava separately in the ghee.
Keep aside.

Mix to gether the salt, soda and the curds.
Keep aside.

Heat a wok with the oil, add in the seasonings.
Sauté well, add in the onions, ginger, sauté for a moment.
Add in the rest of the chopped items.
Just stir fry for a moment and remove.
Let it cool a bit.

Now mix together the rava, semiya, the cooked veges.
Mix well, now add in the curd mixture.
The batter should be a little thick than our idli batter.
So be careful when you add the curds. Check for salt.
Leave it for about 10 minutes. Check again the consistency.
If it is very thick, then you can add little water.

Grease idli moulds well. Pour a ladle full of batter into each,
And steam for about 5 minutes, or till done.
It can be eaten as it is, or serve with any chutney.
I served with tomato chutney.

[tscii]Suvai nga, my aunt told me about the devas and the asuras, united in their efforts to churn the celestial ocean of milk Ksheerasaagaram in quest of AMIRTA ( the nectar of life and immortality)
Here is the recipe for ksheeramurtham.
She said this is what she knows, sorry if it differs from others.
Thanks, Kugan98


KSHEERAMURTHAM

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas
1 tsp raisins
1 tsp chopped dates
¼ cup grated jiggery
1 tsp honey
1 tsp ghee
1 tsp broken kalkandu (rock sugar)
1 pinch of sukku powder
¾ cup of fresh cow’s milk , boiled till ¼ cup

Method:
Boil the milk in a low fire till it becomes ¼ cup.
Keep this aside.

Powder the grated jiggery.
In a bowl, mash the bananas, add in the raisins, jaggery,
dates, honey, sukku powder, ghee and kalkandu, mix well.
Add in the warm milk to this mixture.
Offer to the Gods.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

my aunt told me about the devas and the asuras, united in their efforts to churn the celestial ocean of milk Ksheerasaagaram in quest of AMIRTA

Yes, it is the story when they used 'Vasuki' (snake) to churn out various AMirta's from the ocean, in the end what turned was poison, it started to leak from the ocean, this poison could have wiped out all living things on earth, hence the devas and asuras ran to Bhrama for help, he couldn't help. who in turn ran to vishnu for help, who couldnt help either . so all the asuras and devas along with vishnu and bhrama ran towards kailash to seek 'parameshwarar's help :notworthy:

who came to ocean, drank the poison, on hearing her pati (husband) drinking the poison, Parvathi ran to maheshwar and held his neck, hence the poison remained there. This is why Maheswar is also called as Neelakand(sanskrit) Thiru neelakantha peruman (tamil)


Moral of the story?

'Never be greedy for anything'

[kugan98]

[tscii]
Enjoy your Palani Panchamirtham.

PANCHAMIRTHAM

Ingredients:

3 bananas
2 tsp honey
¼ cup powdered jiggery
2 tsp broken kalkandu
1 tbs ghee

Actually these are the main ingredients in the
Panchamirtham. Panch means five.
Special small sized viruppachi plantain is used.
They have very little water content.
The jiggery is from Kangeyam area called kandasari sugar.

Nowadays people add in, raisins, dates, cardamom powder
Almonds and so on.
Not only that, even chopped jack fruits, chopped mangoes,
fresh grapes and even apples are added.

These fresh fruits will soon ooze out liquid, and the
Panchmirtham will spoil fast.

So my aunt says, add what you like.
Mash up everything, offer to the Gods.

Our very own Suvai's Cauliflower Sambar.
Imm jor, jor. Thanks Suvai nga.


1) cauliflower sambar appropriate for idly/dosai/rava dosai & poori....hmmm never thought of making this!!!

Cauliflr - 1 break into small flowerlets
Onion - 1 chopped - 2 Tblspns (or more)
Boil the above two together with enough water...when tender add salt..& keep aside...do not over cook it.

small onions -2 Tblspns
Dhania - 1 Tblspn
Jeera - 1/2 Tblspn
Coconut grated - 1/2 or 3/4th kai alavu..
Red Chillies - 6 to 8
Karuvepilai - 1/2 kai or two sprigs
udaitha kadalai - 4 tspn (the recipe says fried channa dal i am assuming that it is udaicha kadalai)
Fry the above each seperately & then grind it to a paste & keep aside.

Now in a kadai add little oil / mustard seeds/ uluthamparupu/ red chilli/ when ulunthu brown add the boiled cauliflr & ground paste & mix it well & if its too thick add water & allow it to boil till raw smell goes....iraki.....add little lime & corriander/curry leaves...;-)

I think they add a pinch of edible camphor (pachchai karpooram) for flavor in panchamrutham and heavily milk based desserts! :)

[suvai]

Hello nga kugan....asatho asathiteenga with semiya idly/cauliflr sambar/sksheeramrutham/panchamrutham..... :clap: :clap: :clap:

Vayasu aachi :lol: ///dig

forget the convulted versions. Read this: http://www.hinduwebsite.com/churning.asp
it also explains the symbolism behind the stories.
///end dig

[kugan98]

Thanks Mr. rajraj for the information about edible camphor.
my aunt has wriiten to me about the
pacha karpooram, also tulasi leaves.

Normally my M.I.Law will add this patcha karpooram
when she make sakkarai ponggal.
It has to be very very tiny pinch.
Otherwise the smell will be over powering.
For that reason we do not add that for cooking anything.

If anyone is interested , they can add the patchai karpooram
to the pancharmirtham.
Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Suvai nga we have to thank you for posting,

In ghee add the cinamon/then brown the onions & then tomatoes when water has evaporated from the tomatoes add in the podi & chopped cashew nuts...fry this well in medium fire then add in the milk & cover & simmer...till the cashew nut gets cooked & then the raw smell of podi goes.....u can add lime to this ...if u want...goes well with poori & dosai.

Friends, you all know how to make the basic china grass.
Well for 2 tsp of china grass powder, use 1 litre water and 250 grms sugar.


Well here is a China grass with lychee.

10 grms china grass powder
700 ml water
300 ml juice from the lychee fruit.
200 grms or less sugar to taste, as syrup has sugar.
cut the lychee fruits into long strips.

Boil the mixture, pour it into moulds or tray.
Scatter the lychee fruits, let it set.
Chill and cut into pieces.

You can do this method with any fruits.

Dev, here in our country they sell china grass powder,
nothing is added to that, only pure white china grass powder.

At times they add only colour for you.
Not bad, in India they add sugar, and essence also.

Dev, try out the recipe as per packet you have.
You will get an idea of how the texture of the china grass will be.
I am sure it will be tasty, it will be like the milk china grass recipe that I posted.

I think I have posted few china grass recipes in Kugan's Kitchen.

One more thing you must know Dev, that is
10 grms of the china grass strands
equals to 2 teaspoons of china grass powder.

I am posting the pictures of the china grass packets that we get here. Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Dear friends, I came home late evening from Trichy.
I had a very peaceful retreat there.
I really enjoyed feeding the poor daily.
I prayed for all my dear friends.

I am a bit tired, due to lack of sleep.
I have to leave to Singapore, tomorrow,
to attend a wedding there.
Since we are the mama house, we have
to do "seer' and things.
I will be back on tuesday morning.
Thanks, take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Thank you all my friends for keeping the thread moving.
Suvai nga thanks for the chutney recipe.
I will try it out soon.


Dev, sorry, that the china grass played you out.
Thanks for representing us.


Sudha ma, hope you have read my pm.
I feel very sorry, we are finding out from the sender.

Selviem, PS tamby, Nm, Rajraj, NOV anneh, Thiru tamby. and all my friends,
Sorry if I have left out any one.

Aarthi, what happened to you.
Are you still in your mom's place?
Please reply to my e-mail.

Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Suvai nga, before I run off to Singapore,
here is the popiah recipe. Very simple.
Of course there are many ways, and different
ingredients people use. Mostly it is done as a
non-vege item. Mine is vegetarian. Kugan98


POPIAH

Ingredients:

10 spring roll skin, softened with little water

4 shallots
4 cloves garlic
1 tbs soya bean paste
1 tsp oil

250 grms jicama shredded
30 grms carrot shredded
50 grms beansprouts
10 grms beans shredded (optional )
1 hard tofu, fried and shredded

2ml dark soya sauce
2 tbs sugar
Hoisin sauce to taste


50 grms roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
50 grms fried shallots
20 grms fresh red chillies sliced
Lettuce leaves
Hot chillie sauce
Sweet plum sauce

Method:
Pound the garlic, shallots and soya bean paste.
Heat oil in a wok, add in the pounded paste.
Fry this paste until it is fragrant.

Add in the jicama, and cook till it is translucent.
Add in the carrot, beansprouts and the fried tofu.
Stir well, add in the soya sauce, sugar, and hoisin sauce.
Remove and set aside.

Lay the popiah skin flat on a plate.
Smear with hot chillie sauce and plum sauce
In a large circle in the middle of the skin.
Lay a lettuce leaf on the top.
Put about 2 teaspoons of the cooked mixture.
Arrange some chopped peanuts , sliced red chillie fried shallots,
on the top of the mixture.

Tuck the sides of the popiah skin and roll up firmly.
You can serve as it is or cut into two pieces.
Serve immedieately or it will turn soggy.

[kugan98]

[tscii]Suvai nga, this recipe is basically like our halwa.
Very tasty though. This picture is from my old file.


KOLEH KACANG

Ingredients:

2 cups roasted ground moong dal flour.
1 ½ cups palm sugar ( more if you like sweet)
5 cups thick coconut milk from 1 ½ coconut
2 screwpine leaves
Little salt

Coconut Residue Crisps:
1 cup thick coconut milk from 1 coconut

Method:

To make the coconut residue:
Put coconut milk in a wok and stir over low heat,
with a wooden spatula for about 35 minutes.
Oil will separate from coconut residue.
Continue stirring until coconut residue turns rich brown.
Remove from heat and keep aside.
(This is how I make coconut oil for special cooking)

To make the koleh:
Melt and strain the sugar in little water.
In a heavy deep wok, add in the roasted moong dal flour,
Sugar syrup, salt, coconut milk and the screwpine leaves.
Mix well without any lumps.

Put the mixture on a low flame, using a wooden spatula,
Keep on stirring the mixture until it becomes a thick paste.
Do not allow the mixture to stick to the bottom.
There will be enough oil from the coconut milk added.
Or you can add little oil from the coconut residue.
When the paste is thick enough, discard the leaf.

Spoon into a shallow tin and smoothen the surface,
while still hot. Sprinkle the coconut residue crisps on top.
Leave to cool well before slicing.

[kugan98]

My dear friends, sorry for not being able to log in.
Had been not well due to travels.
Stomach upset, purging and things.


Back to work, Suvai nga you can use vellam and packet coconut milk to make the moong dal halwa or kacang koleh.
The dry fried moong dal powder will have a good aroma.
Try little and see. You need not make the coconut residue.

Thanks for the feedback on semiya idli and another recipe.
Thanks.


As for the "puttuamuhu it is a pudding like thing made for prayers. Let me get to it later.
Thanks nga Suvai, I am very much indebted to you.
Thanks and take care. Kugan98

In a frying pan, add cloves, cinnamon, cardamon , curry leaves and fry for a minute.
Add ginger & garlic to it, fry for a minute and add green chilies and onions.
Fry till onion turns light brown. Add tomato pieces to it.
Now add salt, chilly powder and turmeric to it.
After tomatoes are cooked for 3 to 4 minutes till mushy, add rice to it and stir.
Now pour down 3 to 3 1/2 cups of water and coconut milk cook on low flame till the rice is cooked properly.
add the mint leaves, and coriander leaves.
mix well, cover and keep for sometime before serving.

You can use a rice cooker, or cook by the absorbing method.
Try and see, thanks, Kugan98

[dev]

My version of Tomato rice:

Heat oil. Add a tsp of sombu aka perunjeerakam and a piece of pattai(optional). Once flavourful, add urad n channa dhal. Saute until golden. add in chopped curry leaves,onions,garlic. Saute until transparent. Add chopped tomatoes, red chilly powder, turmeric powder,salt. saute until the tomatoes turn pulpy and well cooked. Mix with rice. Garnish-cori leaves.

Note: U can add dry red chillies,green chillies instead of chilly powder. In that case, add it along with onions.[/b]

Question about tiffon sambar powder recipe,

Tiffon Sambar powder
---------------------
Kadalai paruppu - 1 cup
dry coriander seeds - 1 cup
Methi seeds - 1/4 cup
Dry red chilly - 25
In a pan put 2 tblsp of oil , in the slow fire fry the red chilly nicely. remove it and keep in a plate. Then in the same pan fry rest of the ingredients one by one nicely , remove it and let it comes to room temperature. Then grind coarsely in the mixier and store it in a air tight container to retain the freshness of the powder.


Is the quantity of methi seeds right? When I made using these measurements, it tasted quite bitter. Can you please clarify this?

Thanks,
Sangeetha

[crazy]

Thanks dev akka and Kugan'ka :)

I tried dev akka's recipe ...it went :thumbsup:

After many months I ate proper tamil food :bow:

:ty:

[kugan98]

Dear Sangii 77, thanks for your post.
I think the recipe was given by our Selviem,
if I am not mistaken.
She will reply once she comes to the forum.


You can reduce the amount of methi seeds if you find it
bitter.
Thanks, Kugan98

[suvai]

Glad the tomato rice turned out well crazy!....just keep on trying simple recipes & in no time u will become an expert in the kitchen..;-)

kugan nga i think i have tried yr tomato rice.

dev....the tomato rice recipe sounds very simple........try pannidaren seekiramey ;-)

[selvieam]

sangeetha,

welcome to kugan's thread. the measurements for tiffon sambar powder are correct only. i am following this measurements only, it is turning out nicely.

if u feel that it will be bitter, then u can reduce the quantity of methi seeds. also when u fry methi seeds, make sure that nice aroma should comes out of it. donot fry till it becomes brown. when u fry too much then it will be bitter only.

i think i cleared ur doubt. please feel free to ask if u have any more doubts regarding this.

thanks

Try the simple tomato rice.
I will post soon a simple vathal kulambu.
Take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Suvai nga, thanks for the nice post.
I just added "pottukadadalai" for a change.
You can even add roasted groundnuts in the
end as a garnish. Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Suvai nga and Dev, potato chops na, is mashed potato made into patties, or they have fillings.
What you ate in Sudhama's house must be a
potato masala. They named it as potato chops I think


Well Suvai nga has given a recipe.
I too have one given by my North Indian friend.

Let me try both and post the pictures.
Dev ,you can see how the recipe looks like,
or it is entirely a different recipe.
Thanks, Kugan98

K, I din't have lunch at Sudha's place. So ange enna maadhiri chops serve panninnanganu theriyalai. But generalaa inga serve pannura chops is something like sliced potato coated in a strong masala and onion mix. It is usually deep red or brown in color. Recipe therinja podunga. It is not the patties kindof thing.

[sudha india]

Hi Dev / k

Potato chops romba padu paduthudhu pola.

yes. Dev did not have lunch. If only she was there for lunch, should would have easily clarified.

This was something like senaikizhangu masala curry.

It was thick slices of one inch with masala coated (with onion, garlic and other masalas) in brown colour. This only the caterer calls as potato chops.

[kugan98]

Thanks Dev and Sudha.

[dev]

:lol:

Naanga thedum recipe post pannuravangalukku "chops queen" pattam valangapadum...:P :lol2:

[selvieam]

i think they will deep fry potato strips which is already marinated with red chilly pdr, garam masala, garlic, rice flour .

then in a pan, pour oil, onions, basic masalas like red chilly pdr, coriander pdr, curry powder and the fried potato strips i think.

this can be done in potato, chenaikilagu, tapico, tender jackfruit.

is it correct gals???

[dev]

Selvi, will try it and see if I can get the same taste... I've had potato & chenai chops... others are new to me...

Hmm, Selviem's recipe comes very close to my friend's recipe.
She has given me two recipes, one is good with chapathi.
The other looks more like a roast than chop :roll:

Give me some time, I will try both and post the recipe.

Thanks nga Suvai, you are a gem.
Take care, Kugan98

[selvieam]

friends, i checked with mom . she gave the receipe for jackfruit chops.(pilakai chops).

remove skin cut into cubes, boil it in water with salt and turmeric powder. once it is cooked strain water and keep aside.


to grind:

coconut - 1/2 cup, grated, pottukadalai - 1 tsp, green chilly -2, red chilly - 2, ginger - 1", garlic - 3 cloves, cashews - 4 . grind this to a fine paste.

now mix this paste to the vegetable.

in a heavy bottom pan, add oil, 4 big onion - finely sliced, fry nicely, add one tomato- fnely chopped fry till oil comes out of it, then add the vege mixture cook in slow fire, this will turn nice brown colour and the masala will be coated in the veges. surula surula varukkavum. this is called chops.

for potato as i said, fry in the oil and mix with the masala and follow the same procedure.

same for chenai and tapico she told.

kugan try this.

[tscii]Nithi ma, here is a simple vathal kulambu.
Some people make it without any onions and garlic.
Some add little rice flour.
This is my method. Try it. Kugan98


SIMPLE VATHAL KULAMBU

Ingredients:
1 tbs kulambu podi
50 grms tamarind soaked in 1 cup of water
2 shallots sliced
5 pips garlic sliced
2 dried red chillies broken into pieces
¼ tsp mustard seeds
¼ tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp channa dal
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tbs oil
little vellam (optional)
Little vathals like sundakai, kothavarangkai, vendi.
Salt to taste

Method:
Soak the tamarind in the water.
Squeeze the juice and keep aside.
Wash the vathals and keep aside.

Heat a pot with the oil, add in the mustard seeds,
fenugreek seeds, and channa dal.
After it splutters, add in the sliced onions, garlic,
broken chillies and the washed vathals.
Sauté well till the onions turn lightly brown.

Now add in the tamarind juice , kulambu podi, vellam and salt.
Let it simmer and boil till oil seperates.
Add in the curry leaves and remove.
Roasted appalam is a good combination for this kulambu.
