@ PS

K, kulaparena ungalai?...


I'm not sure if u know this... it's not advisable to mix milk n curd(like in curd rice or whatever) and also milk shouldn't be added to sour fruits... like if a mango is sour, u shouldn't add milk to it... but if the mango is sweet, no harm in adding milk to it... These are some of the mistakes I've done unknowingly...but not any more...
Eating fruits- eat only one fruit at a time and eat it atleast 1 hr from a meal. Mixed fruit salad is a bad bad bad idea. Fruits are better taken during morning hours.

might sound stupid to some but these small mistakes we make in food does have a harmful effect on our health in the long run...

Anyway, I'll try the cake with some other syrup or without any syrup... Ippo inga icecream fever... cake seiya no motivation... already irukira heatla ovenai on panninaal kitchen kulla pogave mudiyalai...I've bookmarkedfew brownie recipes...heat kuranjaal try pannanum one by one...

Thanks for all the info Dev, So good of you to share what ever you know with others.
My father-in-law used to tell us not to serve fruits after a lunch.
You know that is a trend to serve dessert after meals.
He used to tell that the fruits get digested fast, and lunch takes long time.
so if you take your lunch first than the fruits, the fruits get fermented in your stomach,
before the food is digested, this will cause lot of problem. Yaar ketta avar sollvathai


Friends if you all know any tips, do not hesitate to post in Kugan's Kitchen.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
