Kugan's Kitchen Part 2

Suvai, naan nalla iruken... mushroom try pannunga...very quick & easy recipe...

Masala chapathi should be dry... but not vara vara...hmmm... something like chilly parotta... tht's y I have mentioned in the recipe not to let the tomatoes dry out...

Selvi, glad u all liked it... I make veggie chapathis out of the leftover chapathis... very simple... grate carrots, cabbage, finely chop beans,capsicum... thinly slice onions... chop some tomatoes...

heat oil... add some jeera(optional)...then the onions-fry till translucent... then goes in chilly pwd & garam masala pwd...at last add the vegs, tomatoes ^ salt... saute well till the veggies r done but still retain some crunch...don't add any water... aprom, add in chapathis cut into small squares or thin strips... mix well... serve with boondhi raita or plain curds or as such... this is a good lunchbox item too... the more he veggies, the better it tastes... this again is a dry dish...

note: if the chapaths r too dry, u can sprinkle lil water towards the end...

For masala chapathis, if u have leftover kurma, u can add a lil of it & it'll taste diff and nice...

Also, u can add scrambled eggs to the masala chapathis...

dev,
i made masala chapathi for today breakfast, it came out nicely. kids enjoyed and gave comments like this, amma this is indo-chinese roti.
i made it dry. how the actual consistency will be? after suvai's doubt i also want to ask this.
thanks
selvi

the kids r right... it's a fusion food... actually it was an attempt to recreate chilly parotta but in a healthier fashion and it clicked... but I liked it when I used naatu thakkalai only... the apple thakkalai or bangalore thakkalai version was ok but not tongue tickling...

aarthi,
red rice flakes is good for health. even u can make in white rice flakes, but donot use the thin variety. use the thicker variety.

dev,
thanks for the another of receipe of masala veg chappathi, i will this one too. my kids chilli parotta very much. but it is not healthy too. so i can make them satisfy by doing this. always some chappathi will be left after lunch, so i can make masala chapathi for dinner.
With out tension, i made it for breakfast. kids happily ate it, they too told to keep it for lunch box.
thanks for ur new innovation. if u have any fusion cooking receipe that we can pack for kids box, please post some.
thanks dev.

Aarthi,
