    O.K friends, I had extra valakkai after the thithi.
    I made it into this valakkai curry.
    Need not remove much of the skin. It will be very tasty.
    Suvai, I know you can get it in US.
    Thanks, Kugan


    VALAKKAI CURRY

    Ingredients:

    5 tbs oil
    1 tsp mustard seeds
    ½ tsp aniseeds
    1 tsp urad dal
    1 tbs channa dal
    2 dry red chillies broken
    4 pips garlic smashed
    1 sprig curry leaves

    2 onions chopped
    ½ tsp tumeric powder
    Little salt
    1 tsp ginger
    1 tsp garlic
    2 tsp chillie powder
    4 tomatoes chopped
    Salt as needed

    2 green valakkai, slit into 4 and cut into cubes, with skin.
    ¼ cup water
    1 sprig curry leaves torn with hands

    Method:

    Heat oil in a wok, add in the mustard seeds and let them splutter well.
    Add in the aniseeds, urad dal, channa dal, and the red chillies.
    Stir fry till the dals turn lightly brown. Add in the smashed garlic.
    Add also the curry leaves and fry till the garlic turns golden brown.

    Add in the chopped onions, tumeric powder and little salt.
    When the onions turn limp, add in the garlic and ginger.
    Fry for about 2 minutes, add in the chillie powder and tomatoes.
    Add salt and cook till they turn mushy.

    Add in the cut valakkai, and stir fry well.
    Add in the water, mix well, cover and cook on sim for 10 minutes.
    Stir the contents occasionally. The valakkai should be cooked.
    Garnish with curry leaves and remove from the stove.
    Goes well as a side dish.

    My dear friends, have you all heard what is tempeh?
    We get it here in Malaysia, also in US. Korean stores, Suvai.
    Actually you must an acquired taste for it.
    I normally will cut into small pieces fry, than make it into soy sauce stir fried.
    Recently I had it in a curry form in a friend's house.
    The taste was super. O.K this post, just see how the tempeh looks,
    and the properties of tempeh. I will post the recipe in the next post
    Thanks. Kugan



    What is tempeh!? Tempeh, like tofu, is made from soybeans – but it actually has a higher nutritional content than tofu. It uses the whole soybean, and a fermentation process causes the tempeh to maintain a higher and more easily digestible protein content than tofu. The soybeans are packed into a cake that’s easy to slice and cook with, and the high protein content makes it afantastic alternative to meat (and it has no cholesterol).

    Tempeh also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids, fiber, vitamins and minerals.The fact that tempeh keeps the whole soybean intact and is less processed than tofu makes it a more nutritious choice.


    This is how tempeh looks:

    I am going on a spree to find out all about crack wheat cooking.
    Then I will be serving crack wheat, idli, thosai, puttu, upma and even different types of pulaos
    Till they come begging to change into carbs again

    Thanks kugan! We have only one grandchild, an eight month old baby! I have food for two months!
    Before she took off aunty made:

    ..........Chicken pulav
    ..........Chicken kuzhambu
    ..........Fish kuzhambu(tilapia)
    -------Shrimp varuval
    -------Turkey cutlet

    ..........Idli

    On top of that one of our "daughters" brought food to last for a week. This evening she will bring more!

    I think I am going to gain weight!

    Thanks Dev! I am fine!

    Kugan tried your garlic rolls, came out very super.
    Also you have given us ideas how to use up old Iddlis. Kugan one request, when you fly in a plane, they give you a bun with your meals.
    Do have the recipe for the bun? I will be happy if you can post it for me.

    Suvai, thanks for your nice post.
    Suvai, I will post the tempeh recipe.
    Since we marinate and fry it before adding to the gravy,
    I am sure the smell will not be there. Think that it is good for our body
