    Hi Selvi,

    Udon is Japanese noodles. They are about 5 to 6 times bigger in size than regular noodles. it is one of the most easiest things to cook. I usually make it when i feeling too lazy to go the whole way!!:-D Nothing fancy about it.

    Its good that you are getting some ideas from this thread.

    hello


    nothing interests a woman more
    than cooking i guess
    see the number of replies
    me too..
    i never reply/look up recipies..
    and yet made me wonder
    what everyones cooking...

    and wow
    makes mouth water
    aloo parota
    noodles
    kadalai kootu..
    somebody on diet...
    and you can learn italiano too..

    my sons had come last weekend
    they love pickles
    ...
    i made thokku with curry leaf/pudina..
    really yummy...
    (kuttu for saying it myself?)

    so for all ye thokku priyas...

    tamarind -lemon size..
    curry leaf a handful washed and dry
    mustard,fenugreek powder half tsp, chilli powder 1 tsp, jaggery if u like, oil
    salt to taste
    grind tamarind and curryleaf without water
    heat oil add mustard, ground curryleaf, fenugreek powder. chilli powder, keep on low fire for two to three minutes.
    let me know if u like it..

    pudhina or mint the same instead of curryleaf
    curryleaf thokku tastes better than pudina..

    my sons hubby and everyone liked it..

    sathya
