Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

[kugan98]

Dev, Sumi sent these two pictures of the sweet mixture.
She says that potato is grated into strips and deep fried.
Later it is toasted in sugar syrup. Garnished with nuts and raisins.
I have not tasted nor seen it.
I will try it out when I visit India in July.
Thanks and take care. Kugan

Gingered Tofu and Green Veg

Ingredients

2tbsp olive oil
4cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 onion, peeled and chopped
125g (4½oz) mushrooms, quartered
300g (10½oz) broccoli, cut into florets
125g (4½oz) chopped curly kale
200g (7oz) tofu, cubed
1-2tbsp soy sauce or stock if you prefer
2tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Method

Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the ginger, garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes.

Add the mushrooms, broccoli, curly kale, tofu and soy sauce and toss everything together. Cover the wok and leave to cook for 6-7 minutes – this will steam rather than fry which is s healthier way to cook. Stir-fry again for the last 2 minutes, then serve, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Kuganji... which oil gives more taste for seeyali thaalippu ?

[dev]

K, we get lots of karisilanganni(the one with yellow flowers) here...I tried making kootu using it...but it had a strong smell of teh keerai... how do we cook this keerai for best results?

[kugan98]

Dear Dev, thanks for your nice post.
Dev, I have got an idea, why don't you bake the potato strips.
Then you can add it to the beans. That way you can avoid deep frying.

Dev, I called my aunt and she said that, add more garlic and onions to the keerai.
Also with chillie powder, tumeric powder and tamarind, you can mask the smell.
I only remember my grandma making hair oil for us.
I doubt you can get the keerai here in Malaysia.
Thanks and take care. Kugan.

Madhu so happy to see you in the forum.
I think it is a long time since you posted.
Glad that Suvai's post pulled you here.

Madhu, nalla ennai is the best for seasoning the seeyali.
My aunt will use ghee when we have guests.

Please drop your comments, when ever you log on to the forum.
Thanks and take care. Kugan

P.S Tamby, here is the picture of the corn poha.
I boiled the corn, before cooking the dish.
As I felt that, for the quick cooking, the raw corn will not be cooked.
Thanks. Kugan
