Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[kugan98]

Kuganka tried your banana muffin, turned out so well.
A very healthy version too with oats.

I have not heard about the enoki mushroom. Looks very new to me.
After reading about Sangeetha,s words I too like to try.
Will post the feed back after trying. Thanks

Dear Rose, thank you very much for your nice post.
I am glad that the banana muffin turned out well for you.
It is a very simple recipe to make.

Well try out the enoki mushroom recipe and see.
Try with 100 grms first, some people do not like the smell of the enoki.
But this Indianised version, you do not have much smell.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.

Sangeetha, I did not add any tofu in this dish, as I made tofu sambal on that day.
You can add in tofu pieces along with the chives as you cook. Kugan.

Tamilnadu Mess Type Samosa Recipe

For outer layer

Maida - 1 cup (sud make 5 or 6 thin chapatis and therefore 10 or 12 samosas)

Omam - 1/2 tea spoon

Butter , salt - little

mix them all little tight with water.

For Fillings

5 potatoes boiled nicely

garam masala - 1 tea spoon

white sesame seeds - 1.5 tea spoon

broken cashew nuts - 2 tea spoons

finely chopped coriander leaves - 2 tea spoons

finely chopped ginger - 1 to 1.5 tea spoon

finely chopped green chilles - 1 tea spoon

salt and ghee little

mash the potatoes and mix the given ingredients nicely

method.

try to make thin chapatis with the dough and make sure its round for achieving better shaped cones. in medium flame just for few seconds toss those chapatis slightly on both sides . Cut it from middle and fold in half. Spread some flour paste (maida mixed with water) on the corner of the chapati with your finger.(see the picture.) Then again fold it. (make a cone)Fill the cone with your stuffing. Seal the edges with flour paste and set aside. these can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer so that u have them handy. oil cautious people can microwave or bake but the baked ones will be hard and I dont like the taste.

deep frying to golden ones on both sides taste best.

the pic is taken from net for the folding procedure and those were tortillas not this version.
