Japanese Food is Flavourfull and its texture is unique and it tastes different too. Rice texture in the form of sushi roll is an example. Cold Udon Noodles is a famous dish, which is served with veggies or tofu. Tofu is added on soup's as it plays a vital role in Japanese Cuisine. Vegetable Tempura, Deep Fried Tofu's are Perfect Vegan Treat.

When I first Came across this Wonderfull Sweet in Veganyumyum. I loved the stuffing and the recipe, was resembling our Modak / Kozhukattai recipe. I wanted to give it a try, and when i have a reason for it, why should i delay, and when i tried it, i found it to be so easy. adding Adzuki bean's/Thatta Payir as stuffing, made this an healthy sweet too. I could not produce, the actual endresult, as the Modak preparation took over me. But iam sure, when the recipe give here is followed, you will relish it definetly.

and this was the first time, i tried these adzuki bean's called as Thatta Payir in Tamil and generally called as Red Chori bean in India. The stuffing part with this adzuki bean tasted so Good. This was the one, which highlighted the taste.

DEEP FRIED TOFU - A CRISP JAPANESE STARTER:


I got this recipe from Here. These Deep Fried Tofu are called as "Tofu no Otoshiage". the recipe call's for some Fish. but i tried it with Tofu and Leek, which is called as Negi in Japan.

Ingredients:

It's Very Hot Here at Chennai, I could'nt even stand and cook more than 10 minute's in my kitchen, It's so Hot. I have simplified our meal's, and its getting done early in the morning to avoid the heat. Curd Rice is divine these day's and thank God, my husband never complain's even i serve him only curd rice and some fruit salad.

I know, Blog World is caught up with Thai Fever spread by Priya, iam no where a standalone. Also My friend's please have some Japan Fever and Pondicherry Fever, Iam sure, you will enjoy cooking for all the event's lined up this month.

Thai Eggplant Curry on Noodle's, tasted so Good, that i must say, iam greatly attracted to the Thai Cuisine. I have even found a Thai Restaurant nearby, have to plan a visit there.





Suggestions:

isnt the recipe so simple. You can also add other vegetable's, like capsicum/Bell pepper's, Baby Corn, Tofu, Carrot etc.

How it Tasted?

It's the Goodness of coconut milk, that enhanced the taste of the curry. the spice level was very much like our's. and additionally a sweet and sour taste really highlighted up the curry.
The eggplant, absorbed the gravy and tasted very good with the Noodle's. the guilty part is it had more oil content. but when we prepare at home, we can decide, how much oil should go in.


Me and my son like it a lot, we actually licked the plate:) If you wonder, How to prepare Thai Green Curry, you can find it here at Jugalbandi.

Now this Thai Special board's on to reach Dear Priya for her IAVW-Thai. Event started by Dear Vaishali.

Looking Forward for your RCI-Pondicherry Entrie's and A.W.E.D - Japan Entrie's.
