suvai,
i am planning to write a starter dish named kunukku. yesterday i made it for the party, it came out very well. But i am waiting for the pictures, my husband took snap of that, he is so busy not finding time to download the picture.
Also i made carrot halwa, which came out very well. veg pulav, idiyappam, mutton kuruma, veg stew, corn crunchy salad, potato thokku, keerai kulambu and white rice.
Everybody enjoyed.

Kugan, how can u laugh at potato Raitha!!!... it's one of my fav... if u r making to with rotis, try adding a lil chaat masala & it tastes yum & smells so good...

Suvai,

I read in a couple of books that 1 tablespoon of vinegar along with 1 teaspoon of baking soda can be substituted for 1 egg. Both white distilled vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be used. This combination works best in cakes, cupcakes and quick breads. I also read in few forums that 2 tablespoons of lemon juice can be used in place of the 1 tablespoon vinegar. So for this event you could use either, but I have to mention here that I have not tried the lemon juice substitution.

Also I see a lot of baking recipes with vinegar, especially in various vegan books, websites and forums. You can try those recipes also. That is, you could either take a recipe which has eggs and substitute it with vinegar or try recipes which already has vinegar in it and is eggless too.It helps the cake to rise well... White vinegar is the best. Even buttermilk can be used. So if u dont like vinegar use buttermilk.

Thanks once again for visiting my web page suvai.....
