Yes Dev , my friend told me that it is very good for children and old people. Very easy to digest.
She felt very sorry that we became vegetarians.
I told her thats part of life.
She misses my chicken curry and iddiappam.
Take care. Kugan98

Aarthii, if u r looking for a potato cutlet recipe, here's my fav recipe...

Potato cutlet(makes 5 big cutlets)

cut 2 medium big potatoes into big pieces & pressure cook until just done...the potatoes should be firm but soft...heat oil...add some jeera, then chopped onions(1),1 green chilly finely chopped. fry for sometime...needn't brown...then add finely grated gin(1' piece)-gar(3 big)....
cook till raw smell diasppears...then add some chilly pwd, kitchen king masala(abt 1 small tsp for 2 medium sized potatoes), turmeric, salt.... fry for a sec until fragrant...don't burn the spices, then add the potatoes mix well...take off flame
then add corii leaves...mix well & make into cutlet shape...run 1 bread slice in the mixie & coat the cutlet with the bread crumbs
& shallow fry. Serve with tomato sauce or tamarind(sweet) chutney.

Note: If the mixture is not firm, add some bread crumbs & mix until u get a firm mixture.

If u don't have kitchen king masala, u can add garam masala instead.

K, thanks for the spicy fish fry recipe... we generally don't dip the fish in the batter... will try it next time...

[kugan98]

Dev, we too do not dip in the batter for day to day frying fish.
This is a special fish fry with a different taste.
Its good for entertaining.


The same way evaporated milk is used in payatham parppu
payaasam for a creamy taste.. you can just cook with milk alone.
Thanks. Kugan98
