April 17, 2016 - special recipes for Coconut Kozhambu and hot and sour soup


Started the day with coffee, rice uppuma and 2 idlis. Started the Chinese medicine.

For lunch I made coconut kozhambu, salad, kovakkai and we had that we left over spinach

Used white gourd (pushanikkai); boiled it in tamarind water till it cooked; grind half a coconut with red chillies, roasted urad dhal, methi powder, spoon of rice flour and add it to the cooked gourd water - let it come to boil and then season with mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing.

salad
pomegranate seeds, half a cucumber, half a carrot grated, tomato, onion,green chilly chopped fine, squeeze lime


In the evening I made hot and sour soup
Took the remaining tamarind and poured it into the dish where I had sautéed onions, green chillies, ginger and garlic; I chopped half a green pepper and to it added tofu (I had some leftover frozen extra firm) - recommended a softer tofu; also recommended sprouts, mushrooms (which I did not have) - I added chilly powder and salt and let the tamarind lose its raw smell. At the end I added frozen veg (mushroom) dumplings - and let it cook for a few minutes; I just added a teaspoon of sesame oil on top. It was all consumed - my version of hot and sour soup
