I tried many times kuboos for my children as their taste. My son's favorite recipe.
Kuboos is a Arabic Bread (like chappathi) It is a Traditional food for all Arabs.It is a healthy diet food.

Serves : 4 person

Ingredients
Maida  (All purpose flour)– 2 1/2  cup
wheat - 1/2 cup
Yeast – ½ tspn
Sugar – 2 tspn
Hot milk – 1/2cup
Salt – ½ tspn
Butter -50 gram
           





In half glass of hot water add yeast, salt, sugar dissolve it and make it sit for 10 minutes, then add maida (plain flour) , wheat flour , hot milk and butter mix well  make a soft dough. Set aside for 3 hour.

Divide the dough into sweet orange or big lemon size ball dust more flour and prepare thick chappathies .


     Heat a tawa (pan) and put the prepared thick chappathie and cook for  2 minutes flip over and cook for another 2 minutes, no need to spread the oil.



Arabic kuboos is ready to serve.
It goes very well with all grill items (chicken, mutton ,beef) & with hamuus , Kabab,tikka all type of gravy , egg varieties and vegetable gravies.This kuboos is really a tasty food.
Instead of maida you can also use wheat flour (atta).

 I wrote this small poem last year for mother's day. I didn't post it yet.

சொர்க்கத்தின் முதல் படி
ம்மா நீ ஒரு பொக்கிஷம்
ம்மா நீ ஒரு தாமரை
ம்மா நீ ஒரு நிலவு
ம்மா நீ ஒரு நட்சத்திரம்
ம்மா நீ ஒரு சூரியன்
ம்மா நீ ஒரு புதையல்
ம்மா நீ ஒரு வைரம்
தாயின் காலடியில் தான் சொர்க்கம் இருக்கிறது
By 
Jaleela 

I wrote my own small poem in my language (Tamil) and my son (Haneefuddin) has just modified and has put the same poem in a different way.
In a World Mom's are Special to all.



Mom, you are someone valuable to me
Mom, you are the sun
Mom, you are the moon
Mom, you are the lotus
Mom, you are a treasure for me
Mom, you are like a Diamond to me
Mom, The Paradise lies on your feet
Mom, you mean everything to me
