P. Shivan, I have posted a vegetable biryani in Kugan's Thread 2.
I think it is in page 3.

Shivan we are all vegetarians now.
The one pot biryani was made with soyameal chicken.
If you like you can add little cauliflower, beans and carrots,
instead of the soya meal.


Kugan is my ishta deivam.
No other secrets other than that.

Please come often to this thread and give your comments.
Thanks. Kugan98

Thankyou maa'm

Ladies

Try and avoid coconut milk in your food, it is very high in fat !!

[dev]

PS, amma kitta ketu engalukku paruthi vadai recipe sollungale...

Yes, coconut is very high in fat & so it's a high calorie food...

Welcome back Kugan,
We missed you. How is your doing now. It is hard when gets sick. My prayers for her to get better soon and for you also. It must have been tough.
I am so touched that you remembered me during your difficult time. Thanks nga. The party went well. I had made Kushka rice, meat-ball curry, mutton fry, chicken fry and C-65 for non-veggies. For veggies Mattar paneer, Veg Khorma, Potato dill fry, Mullani sambhar and Sooraikai kootu. Dessert was carrot Halwa, Gulab Jamoon and Mango Ice-cream. Ellam Kali!!. It was back breaking work but definitely worth the effort.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Thanks for all the friends for the appetizer ideas. This is a great thread.
