onion-cheese-pepper roti-a? naan innum onga roti collection-la kaal kinaru kooda thaandala. Deepa must reveal the secret behind her instant FBs:)

I'm non-stop drooling at your iced coffee-tea collections. it's still hot chai/tea weather here. i'll try out the moment sun shines bright and warm.

Just wanted to add a note on green tea. It should not be had by nursing mothers!

pixelarch has tempted me with appalam in vathakuzhambu and puli uppuma. the latter i have never tried... noting down the recipe:)

have a wonderful day. it's raining today. more than son mother didn't want to send him to school. but father took over.

Dear P, I have tried various recipes for paneer pakora, but was not happy with any. But I liked this a lot.
I think garlic is one extra ingredient in batata vada with pav.
You are blessed that your MIL is so appreciative - for all our effort & interest, recognition coming our way makes us very happy!
You, ILites can also make me a valai in gold or platinum! I will proudly wear it!!
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Latha,
I want to exhaust all iced drinks, this hot weather.
I asked my doctor friend - nursing mothers can have limited, perhaps, one cup of green tea per day. That is not harmful at all!
So, father decided to gfive mother a holiday? Great!
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chituma,

epdi irukel? today i made caramel payasam for my friends...i ditto followed the recipe including the measures...
i heated the pressure pan and then when i added sugar it immediately went black...and then i added the other ingredients and made the paysam...fianlly the taste was good and one of my freind asked if i added coffee...guess it tasted similar to coffee...did i do something wrong or is it like that? i found it was kasappa irunthudhu...
can u clarify ma?

Dear VK, I hope you are settled in Seattle!
Thanks for the FBs.

If it turned black, the pan has become tooooooo hot! Be careful the next time to prevent the bitterness creeping in.

No, nothing should be added - that is the speciality of caramel payasam.

No frills, only caramel flavour!
