These are easy to prepare though you will need lots of baby corn to feed many people. I used about 28 baby corns and got very little(enough for 2). Here I have cut to very small pieces as my kid loves to put the whole stuff into mouth, you can cut each corn to half or as you wish it to be. &lt;br /&gt;

110. Notes:<br />
111. 1. Cooking the baby corn makes it tender. Not mushy.<br />
112. 2. You can use any method to cook it. Here I used pressure cooker.<br />
113. 3. Add chili powder to add heat to the recipe. Heat is very less with above quantity.<br />
114. 4. While mixing the corn flour you need not add water as corn will be still  wet after cooking and draining. Just mix everything and after mixing if you feel that the ingredients are still dry, add few drops of water.<br />
115. 5. The above mix amount wont make thick coating over the corn. It will just help to add crunch and spices to corn.<br />
116. 6. Adding raw onion and green chili in the garnish is not compulsory. You can add green chili while cooking too.<br />

173.  Notes:<br />
174. 1. Pat tofu before use to reduce its tofu smell.<br />
175. 2. Frying tofu helps to reduce the tofu smell again.<br />
176. 3. Instead of lemon grass powder you can use a small piece of fresh lemon grass.<br />
177. 4. Be careful while adding salt...sauces,fried tofu everything has pinch of salt in it. so add only a small pinch.<br />

241. During my childhood mom used to serve me three dish with rice, a gravy,curd/yogurt and a stir fry.Now pickle is never counted here as it was a regular stuff on our dinning table and papadams used to be there atleast twice a week...and ya there was no cooking and reheating process at home...Everything was cooked and served warm...Until my marriage I never had to cook a full meal alone...My hus also had a similar life...So cooking atleast 3 times a day was unavoidable...and that too hus has the habit of eating anything other than rice for dinner...Everyday cooking sambar or recipes with ground coconut was too hectic especially when my little one wants me to read a book for him...or build a tower for him...So slowly I started to find recipes with not much work related with it and this is one such preparation...This is also apt for the dull and rainy days when the beam of sunlight is fighting with clouds to just have a peep outside and when you don't want to toil in the kitchen...<br />

411. The climate over here is changing rapidly...The trees that where having atleast few leaves have become bare with just 2 to 3 leaves clinging to it...The wind which was so smooth that used to embrace face with it sweetness has become  wild with anger....that its carrying everthing with it... The sun who used to be awake before anyone on earth is so lazy that it wakes up after hours of its committed time.... so late...But that doesnt mean that it goes late....Its very early to bed too...By around 4.30pm its under the blanket with just a bit showing of...and by 5 its almost asleep...And seeing all these the sensitive clouds who cant bear it starts to cry....Seeing them crying others join and cries become louder and stronger...:)<br />
412. That is what was happening usually....but something went wrong yesterday with the clouds....instead of crying they became happy and covered the mother nature with a white blanket...Everywhere it was white beauty...But soon it was taken back...and everything is now as usual...<br />
413. <br />
414. Now with all these things happening around...I just feel to hug my teddy(read as son) and sit without doing anything.....But my teddy, who has just recovered from fever, on the other hand wants to go out and play in the snow....walk around...Now he is not as lazy as Mummy..:)<br />
415. <br />
416. Got some time today as kiddo slept for few minutes in the morning...Clicked a few pics...<br />

452. 2. Coconut milk can be used instead of  grated coconut.<br />
453. 3. Add water according to requirement. We enjoyed it a bit thick.<br />

473. Method of Preparation:<br />
474. 1. Heat oil in a wok. Cut slits in the hardboiled, shelled eggs and keep aside.<br />
475. 2. Add  the onion and fry till it turns light brown, then add ginger garlic paste, green chilli, curry leaves and fry till raw smell goes for few seconds.<br />
476. 3. Add the spice powders and mix well for a minute. See that you dont burn it, so do it on low heat. Now add the cut tomatoes along with salt and mix well. cook till the tomatoes becomes soft and mushy.<br />
477. see that it doesnt stick to the bottom, if so add few tbsp of water.<br />

549. 1. If using home made coconut milk, cook the vegetable in thin milk along with little water.Once it gets cooked,add the beans ,salt and boil and then add the thick milk and simmer for some time.<br />
550. 2. You can use ash gourd,pumpkin,or both.<br />
551. 3. While using water to cook add only how much is needed, too much water spoils the taste.<br />
552. 4. The colour of olan is very light brown/white mixed brown...I took the pics under kitchen light so it looks dark. If you are cooking it using thin and thick milk you will get a creamish slight brown coloured olan as you are cooking using thin milk not the water after boiling red beans..</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/feeds/6378707144684241742/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/04/olan-red-cowpea-beans-curry.html#comment-form' title='37 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/6378707144684241742'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/6378707144684241742'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/04/olan-red-cowpea-beans-curry.html' title='Olan/ Red cowpea beans curry.'/><author><name>Reshmi Mahesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04031922006327162890</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtORm-D2v3TMTH0Z4GPnXxjHskikLFM8vrYcOcoR1s6XIrsDhiODIQsdWOKT_J_-pq_E_kM5JYNS8qg5n1uozhmGqSalYISxwOI2AaX3PvEuskCS4GcBtHoD0RhKX0EQ/s220/IMG_1253.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wEduDnw3-sQ/TbccIpM62EI/AAAAAAAAAfw/jEFxMZQDFHQ/s72-c/o8.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>37</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892746283322995228.post-4976460462276636434</id><published>2011-04-22T11:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-10-25T20:04:51.371-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="curries"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Easy Food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Kerala dish"/><title type='text'>Katti Kalan/kurukku kalan</title><content type='html'>Katti kalan is another recipe that is seen in kerala sadya.

759. Tips:<br />
760. 1. You can replace coconut with coconut milk.See that gravy doesn't have too much of water in that case.<br />
761. 2. Non Veg version can be made by adding prawns to it.In that case cook prawns and drumstick first along with the powders,then add mango and continue the above process.<br />
762. 3. You can add 1 whole mango if it is not too sour..</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/feeds/7030086641429530620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/03/drumstick-mango-currymuringyakkaya.html#comment-form' title='42 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/7030086641429530620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/7030086641429530620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/03/drumstick-mango-currymuringyakkaya.html' title='Drumstick Mango curry/Muringyakkaya -Manga Curry'/><author><name>Reshmi Mahesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04031922006327162890</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtORm-D2v3TMTH0Z4GPnXxjHskikLFM8vrYcOcoR1s6XIrsDhiODIQsdWOKT_J_-pq_E_kM5JYNS8qg5n1uozhmGqSalYISxwOI2AaX3PvEuskCS4GcBtHoD0RhKX0EQ/s220/IMG_1253.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Qh9e9O9Lnao/TX-my0SIoRI/AAAAAAAAATo/2_vzhu8sALs/s72-c/MM.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>42</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892746283322995228.post-7518554670156513979</id><published>2011-03-14T13:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-10-25T20:04:51.381-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="curries"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Easy Food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sidedish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vegetable gravy"/><title type='text'>Matar Ghobi/Cauliflower nd peas gravy</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;spc&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

825. 1. You can cut the beets to cube too,takes longer time to cook.<br />
826. 2. Don't add too much of water while cooking beets.<br />
827. 3. Don't boil the coconut mixture,taste changes.<br />
828. 4.

1052. Tips:<br />
1053. 1. Another variation of this one is using coconut milk.In that case once the spinach gets cooked add coconut milk and bring to boil.After that take from fire and season it with mustard ,curry leaves and onion.In this case you need 1/4 cup of coconut milk.<br />
1054. 2. You can also grind coconut to smooth paste and add to it instead of milk.Then you need nearly 1/4cup grated coconut.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/feeds/6227353503729450641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/01/spinach-currypalak-curry.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/6227353503729450641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/6227353503729450641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/01/spinach-currypalak-curry.html' title='Spinach Curry/Palak curry'/><author><name>Reshmi Mahesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04031922006327162890</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtORm-D2v3TMTH0Z4GPnXxjHskikLFM8vrYcOcoR1s6XIrsDhiODIQsdWOKT_J_-pq_E_kM5JYNS8qg5n1uozhmGqSalYISxwOI2AaX3PvEuskCS4GcBtHoD0RhKX0EQ/s220/IMG_1253.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G5YBfIXV8aE/TUMVrgKimCI/AAAAAAAAALQ/hBL6k2OcMY4/s72-c/sp.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892746283322995228.post-13776660179937229</id><published>2011-01-25T07:34:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-10-25T20:08:49.899-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="curries"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sidedish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vegetable gravy"/><title type='text'>Gobi Manchurian/cauliflower Manchurian</title><content type='html'>cauliflower/Gobi-1 medium sized&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
