Hello Kugan nga & hub friends,
I take this to wish each & every one of you a Wonderful Christmas!!
Regards,

Aarthii, systemla konjam problem... adhaan sariyay vara mudiyalai...
I wish you all a very happy christmas & a wonderful new year 2010...:)
Gastric problem???...Try this sukku-omam kuzhambu... Gastric problem illainaalum try senju paarunga... it have a very diff flavour & taste...If I remember it right, this recipe is from arusuvai website...
Ingredients:
Drumstick- 2 cut into pieces
garlic - 1 whole bulb (cut into 2 if it's big)
For the masala:
peppercorns- 2 tsp
dry red chillies- 3-4 (or to taste)
coriander seeds - 1 heaped tbsp
Baby onions- 10
garlic-1 whole bulb ie around 10
curry leaves- 5 to 6 sprigs
Sukku- 1 inch piece -crushed
omam - 2 tsp
coconut- 1/2 grated- around 1 cup
asafoetida- 1/2 tsp
tamarind- gooseberry sized (can use more if u prefer)
Gingelly oil
salt
1. Put the drumstick to cook adding about 1/2 cup of water. Once it's half done add the garlic pieces.
2. Heat a tbsp oil & add the peppercorns to it * let it splutter. Add the chilly, dhania and fry till golden. Add in the onions,garlic & curry leaves & fry for around 3 mins. Add the sukku & omam & fry for a min. Add the coconut & fry on low flame until dark deep brown. Take care not to burn the coconut. Add in the asafoetida & switch off flame.
(U can just fry until light brown if u plan to use the curry the same day. If u fry till dark brown, it'll stay good for 2-3 days. The taste gets better day by day)
3. let the above masala cool down. Now grind it along with tamarind, salt & req water.
4. Add it to the veggies which would be almost done by now. Add more water if req. Let it come to a boil & then simmer it for 4-5 mins. This kulambu will be dark brown in colour...
5. Serve with rice.
This curry is very effective for gastric problems if taken for 3-4 days at a stretch. If u can also add a 30 mins walk on those days U can be sure of being relieved of the gases.
This curry is said to be very good for ladies after delivery. Also very soothing when had during the last couple of months of pregnancy when digestion will be poor and heartburns are frequent. During pregnancy, it can be had once every 10 days or so and after delivery it can be had everyday.
Friens I was a bit busy, athuthaan late.
Madhu, thanks for the pasta recipe.
Nowadays I am looking for pasta recipes and
eggless cakes. Thanks Madhu. I will try and let you know.
Thanks. Kugan98

I have an Indonesian Christian maid.

The beauty is she too became a vegetarian
following us. She refused when I wanted to take her
out for non-vegetarian food.
Thanks. Kugan98

Very sorry, Selviem, try pannitu post pannaama vituten. Thanks a lot.
Aarthii, thanks a lot...kandippa kutti kitta solren...:)
Methi sambar romba nalla irundhichu... It was not bitter atall... just take care not to chop the methi finely...chumma onnuku renda cut panni podunga... that way it wouldn't be bitter... Anyway I should try it with murungaikeerai & only then I'll know if methi sambar is anywhere near to murungaikeerai sambar...:)
Sudhaka... rombe sorry...unga aasai indha NYku niraiveruvadhu kashttam... few of us friends r planning to have a potluck at a friend's place in near pollachi... ange vandheengana venna enga kaivannathai ellam paarthu rusikkalaam...;)Quote:

so many messages. Good kugan thread is flying very fast.
Wishing u all merry christmas and Happy new year.
our chain is becoming big. plz all do the receipes whatever u know.
selvi
Sudhaka,
thanks a lot u tried my keerai kulambu receipe. usually my mom makes it with araikeerai. i prepare with palak coz i dont get araikeerai.
Also very happy to know that it comes out well in thandu keerai. U have variety of choices in greens (India). please give a try in arai keerai too.
Dev,
happy to know that u liked keerai sambar and tried in methi leaves. Good it is tasty and not bitter. no need to chop the leaves, just clean the leaves and directly prepare sambar. Definitely it gives u a different taste. Try with drumstick leaves too.
tomorrow i am planning to prepare drumstick leaves sambar.
selvi
Aarthi,
Dev gave u green signal that keerai sambar comes out well with methi leaves. so give a try with methi leaves.
Aarthi if u want, i can post methileaves patchadi.
Selvi
kugan,
As u r posting receipes with plantain,
we prepare banana flower with drumstick leaves as a poriyal.
banana pepper poriyal which we prepare for thai pongal
banana pori curry as a side dish for sambar rice.
if u want i can post the receipes.
selvi
kugan,
myself and my friend planning to prepare ur orange cake for new year.
Selvi, nalla idea kodutheenga... I guess I too should prepare a cake for the NY get-togerther... :yes: :shoot:
Selvi, I add the tender stems too... if it's not chopped it'll form bunches when cooked...so I chop it roughly... yes, if we r using only the leaves no ned to chop it...Quote:

Selviem, I remember posting a plantain pepper fry.
Do post all your recipes when you are free.
I am sure yours will be different with special taste.
Well I made a sooji fruit cake, recipe which was given by a friend.
A big disaster as the liquid was not enough, the cake was crumbly.
I will amend the recipe and make again.
I made a mango cake and it came out super soft with a good aroma.
I will post the recipe and picture tomorrow.
I will also be doing the Kashmiri Pulao.
I will post the picture also.
So happy cooking every one.
Thanks. kugan98
