Dev, Suvai and Sudha, I think all of you are vegetarians.
How do you provide protien for your family.
What are the dishes or ingredients you all use.

I am lost as to what to cook.
So I cook lot of tofu, soya meal, and dal.
Can you all suggest some thing.
Thanks. Kugan98

Kugan, maybe the quality of Rajma I get is poor...should try buying from some other store...I'll try warm water & soda tip in the meantime...

As for protein, grownups need protein only for maintance of the body... We can easily get it with 2 servings of dhal ... Most grains,milk pdts have some amt of protein in it... so we needn't worry much abt it...

Kids need more protein in the growingup age... so make sure u add dha & maybe lil soy product in their food everyday... milk , wholegrains(once or twice a day),nuts,mushrooms ellam serthukonga...adhu podhum... but if the teenagers are on a body building spree, they might want to try some protein drinks etc... otherwise if we follow a normal Indian diet, it shold take care of the nutrient req well...

& Kugan, I'm not a 100% vegetarian... I take meat once in a while...I took a break from non-veg for a while but not anymore... my parents are pure vegetarians & since I stay with them, I can't cook any non-veg at home...tht's the reason I always ask for veg versions...

Sudha ma thanks for your post.
I am too not clever in cooking well balanced meals.
I will cook whatever I have in the house.

Before I used to cook non-veg twice a week.
Since now full vegetarians, I was worried a bit.
Thanks Sudha.

Selviem I am very happy that you all liked the tuvayal.
Selviem you are all welcome to modify my recipes as per your families
likes and dislikes.

As I say " Do not let the recipe to rule you.
You rule the recipe" Ithu eppadi irrukku,

I will post the picture of the healthy wheat dosai as soon as I do it.
Thanks Selviem for your very nice feed backs.
Thanks again Kugan98

Thank you very much Dev.
We have 5 school going children.
From the age of 5 to 14.
So I was a bit worried about their food.
Thats why I cook lot of tofu dishes.
No coffee or tea, only milk at times milo.
The children are angles, would not eat anything
out side. We pack food for their schools.
They love cakes and cookies.
Now I have to hunt for eggless recipes.
Thanks for your valuable advises.
Thanks again. Kugan98

Aarthii, I am very happy for you.
I am glad you are learning lot of recipes.
Samachi, ungga husbanda asathungga

Kutti payanukku sundala cook panni thangga.
I too like different types of sundals.
I even like sundal in motchai .

Aarthi you asked for cracked wheat upma.
We had for dinner to night.
I am posting the recipe for you.

Thanks for all your nice posts and feed backs.
I am sure Selviem would feel happy that she
helped you with 3 poriyal recipes.

Aarthii appuram, how did your friend make the dessert?
Let us know, the more ways the more the better.

Thanks Aarthii take care. Kugan98
