You are right! We need a vadivelu here! Otherwise, kugan will get bored and won't post any recipes !

( Too much of vadivelu can be boring too as in a TV comedy time! )

Thanks Dev, etho little flavor vanthuche.
The water contents in the white poondu will be more.
Commercially they use poondu powder, other wise, their powder will turn mouldy. Thanks, Kugan98

Egg Idlli

Dev, its the gravy that they pour
in the iddli while cooking , that brings out the taste.

Little onions, tomato, potato , carrots are boiled.
Then they are pureed
Then they add little coriander powder, chillie
powder, turmeric powder and garam masala.

Everything is sautéed in oil till oil seperates.
Then water is added and boiled to make it into a gravy.

Heat a dosai kal or flat pan.
Pour little oil, add little chopped onions, salt.
Add little pepper powder, and little masala podi.
mix well so that the onions are flavoured.

Crumble 2 idllis and add to the onions.
Mix well with the onions.
Now break 2 eggs in a bowl.
Add about ¼ cup of the gravy and beat the eggs well.

Spread the idlis and pour the egg mixture over it.
Let it set for a second, then using two spatulas (dosai spoons)
Chop up the idli into bits. You have to use a high flame.
Remove and garnish with cut coriander leaves.


Dev, my aunt says, they will tell its a secret recipe.
Normally they will add in little mutton bones, when they boil
the gravy. That gives the oomph.


I have a kothu parotta with kurma, hotel style.
Of course vegetarian. I will post soon.


Varalakshmi nombu is on friday.
Lot of preparations to be done.


I am ever grateful to my friends , for keeping me company.
Thanks, Kugan98

Kugan ka, remember that I asked you for some recipes last month? The ones which I was going to cook for my cousins? Well, I didn't get to cook for the lunch after all. My cousin had to cancel the lunch meet.

At first, I thought that she might have canceled the lunch after knowing that I was preparing it but eventually it turned out that her son fell sick all of a sudden...which is again strange cos' the boy has yet to taste my cooking thus far

Well, I thought that I might never get the chance to cook...until my mom came back from her vacation. Two days after she returned, she fell ill and I had to take off from work to look after her. She could only eat porridge and hot soups for the first few days but then she gradually became better. So I thought, why not cook the lunch (that I previously planned) for my mom instead?

I finally did the tomato rice and chicken in tomato sauce and she loved it. Thank God, there were no side effect after eating them, so I must have followed your recipe correctly! I couldn't post the pictures here, but I must say they looked good, even if I say so myself

Thank you so much for the suggestion, ka. I really feel encouraged to try out more of the recipes here

[kugan98]

Thank God, Jay tamby.
I was feeling jittery every time I thought about you.
I thought gone, Jay is going to sue me.


Thanks Jay for the good news.
Pray your mom gets better soon.
Take care, Kugan98
