Dear Cynthiya!

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback on meen kuzhambu as well as paruppu podi tomato rice.
Just I wish to give a few tips for a tasty meen kuzhambu. Use puthu puli[fresh tamarind] and Kashmir chilli powder for better results.

Dear rsankar!

About kalyana sambar-I will enquire the chefs here about it and If I succeed in it, I will post the recipe here.

Thanks a lot for the feedback on katharikkai and potato kothsu, tomato and katharikkai kothsu, meen kuzhambu, chettinadu chicken briyani, idli sambar, red chutney. About filter coffee-

FILTER COFFEE:

A first quality coffee powder is needed. Either coffee day or Narasus gives delicious coffee. For 250 gms of coffee powder, you must add 25gms of chicory. Mix well both powders and then fill in a glass jar. You must use 3 heaped spoons for a cup. Put the coffee powder in the filter and press tightly with the fingers. Pour 1/2 cup of simmering water in it and close with the lid. After 10 or 15 minutes, the thick first decoction will be stored under the filter. Again pour 1/2 cup of simmering water and again a slightly thin decoction will be stored. Mix both the decoctions. For milk, lots of options are there. You can use cow’s milk [pasumpal] or powdered milk. I am using EVERY DAY MILK POWDER. To me, this is the best milk powder till date. I am using 3 to 4 teaspoons according to the thickness. Put the milk powder in a cup and mix hot water [boiling water in it. Mix well and then strain it. The milk should be measured to ¾ cup. Add 2 tsps of sugar in it. Lastly add the decoction according to yr taste.

Dear arrecipes!

Thanks a lot for the feedback on Chicken tomato gravy.

Dear Dev!

Thank you very much for the feed back on paruppu rasam. I felt happy to know that it turned out very delicious for you.

For preparing delicious tea-

Add 1 tsp of tea powder for a cup of water. Pour the water in a bowl and let it simmer. Crush a pea-sized ginger and 2 cardamoms and add them to the water. When the water starts to simmer, reduce the fire and add the tea powder. Let it boil for 3 to 5 minutes. To ¾ cup of warm milk, add 2 tsp of sugar and add the tea decoction gradually according to the taste.

I will post the recipe for mysore rasam soon!
