Kugan's Kitchen Part 2

[suvai]

sorry to hear that hemantji......yr entire food website copied???? that is not right...

[superspiczy]

Hi folks,

Its very sad to know that many people lack in being ORIGINAL.

I also have my own blog on cooking. Correct me if i am wrong. Well its ok to help one another by posting few recipes from your friends. But, its totally wrong to copy the entire thread and get the credits. For an example, I have posted 1 or 2 recipes of Kugan's on my blog. But on the heading of my blog i always mention that this recipe was given to me by my friend kugan. I have also a link on Kugan's website. SO that many more others can join this hub too....
As for me, Whatever recipes that i post on my blogs.. it is also shared on this hub. I do my part by sharing my recipes on Kugan's thread. I strongly deem that Kugan's thread has made me a better cook. So my gratitude goes to this thread

Its always good to share your recipes with others. But do mention them in ur post as the credit goes the to them. Its their hard work. So please omit this copyright thingy. Thats totally unfair to the one who created the blog.....

asafoetida/perungaayam powder - 2 pinch
Green chilli
salt to taste

Method:

In a fry pan, add cooking oil and fry vendakaai well (deep fry if required and for more taste :P ). Remove from fire and add cocunut oil, mix well and keep it aside.
