Hello Amba!
I don’t have any second set of my recipes collection. One of the friends who usually visited this forum hub used to send my recipes in 2 sets to those who needed them. Now she is unable to visit this hub.
Thanks you very much for the feedback on Naan.

Grind the coconut with the fennel seeds finely. Heat a kadai and pour the oil. When it becomes hot, add the mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the black gram and fry them to a golden brown colour. Add the chopped onion and the tomato and cook them finely until they are well mashed and the oil floats on the surface. Add the chopped keerai with the turmeric powder and the chilli powder, mix well, close it with the lid and cook it on a slow fire.

Dear Mrs Mano,

Can you suggest any recipes which uses cooked rice and curd? I have excess quantity of both and have already prepared mixed-riced varieties, and used the curds for koottu, aviyal, lassi and mor. I still have huge quantities left.

I have actually posted this query on a separate thread and also on H.T. Cookery Corner and now here as well. I'm desperate!!!

Thank you.

Shoba
