Kugan's Kitchen Part 5

[PARAMASHIVAN]

P.S Tamby, today for tea I made the falafal sandwich.
Complete with the pita bread, salad and tahini sauce.
Let me post, one by one, so that it will be easy to make.
Lot of work, but everyone enjoyed it.

Our paruppu vadai tastes best.
The combination of green chillies, onions
ginger, curry leaves and aniseeds.
All added into the ground kadala paruppu paste.
No baking powder, no flour added.
Thanks, Kugan98

[PARAMASHIVAN]

yes Parrupu vadai indeed tastes a lot better.

BTW Kugan akka

There is a Roti called ' Veechu roti (I think it is Ceylon Tamil term)' which is like any roti , but it is very chewy and when you pull it, it is like rubber, any idea about how to make this akka, My mum does not know, we only eat in SL restaurants
