ROSE KULFI ( TRADITIONAL METHOD)

தமிழில் காண : கிளிக்  Hi All, As I have already mentioned you in my previous post about traditional method of making kulfi. You can make kulfi in two ways , one is shortcut method by using heavy cream or whipping cream and other is this traditional method. Though the shortcut method tastes amazing , this traditional method already ranks first :). Only thing you need to concentrate is the consistency of the milk , if the final mixture is too watery then you will not get creamy kulfi and if the mixture is too thick then it will end up in kova. So make sure your final mixture is in right creamy consistency. See my other kulfi recipes, 1) Easy kulfi. 2) Kulfi ( Version2)  The simple recipe is below, COOKING TIME : 30 MINS. SERVES : 2 CUPS. INGREDIENTS : Milk – 1 litre Almond – 4 tsp Pista – 4 tsp Cardamom – 3 nos Cornflour – 1 tsp Condensed milk – 2 tsp (optional) Rose essence – 1/8 tsp Rose water – 1 tsp Sugar – 5 tsp. METHOD :

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
