Adai Hello again Mrs CV, I tried out the adai recipe and it came out ' as usual' ,thank u very much! I would like to know what side dish goes well with adai, i mean any 'perfect combination'? i had made Onion Thokku as side dish and it went on very well with the adai, any other suggestions would be good. Regards, Purnima, Mangalore
Hello Purnima! Dear Purnima, Adai & avial make a perfect combination ! Ofcourse, hot adai, a knob of butter & jaggery is "heaven" ! Regards, Chithra.
feedback Dear Chitra, the last time I prepared apple firni, I used toned milk but this time used the full cream milk and the result was just great. last time I didn't peel the skin and this time I peeled and grated it neatly and the firni tastes so yum. I too like to use small mudkas to serve this but since I didn't have any, I used the mudka shaped plastic ones which originally had flavoured yogurt in it. this time I made a perfect firni and thought of you while tasting it. I even covered with a silver foil - all works today!!!!!! Now for the apple pie, I again used the muffin tray and filled the layer for the crust and kept in the fridge. the filling is also ready; I just have to go ahead and set the oven. thought of doing it after 5.30 so I can serve hot pies when my hubby is back; its one of his favourites. For the filling I added brown sugar and walnuts and bread crumbs along with the usual ingredients with ofcourse a tbsp of lime juice. I'm sure that would also turn out great!! Any new recipe shall be tried this week itself as I got a basket full of fruits from one of our friend. so pls , pls post apple nut dessert.... Can you give me some recipes with pomegranate, oranges, sapota, yellow bananas ????????????????? With oranges maybe I'll try ur recipe, kamala .... (forgot the name); with sapotas maybe milkshake and with bananas - shall I try pazhanurukku????? pomegrantes I think I'll use it for boondi and pome raita??? anyway, shall plan something... need to go thru ur posts and check out if there are any more fruit recipes.................. Tomorrow might be PINEAPPLE DAY!!! Need to prepare pa rasam....... Next week I'm sure its gonna be PUMPKIN DAYS as pumpkins in my garden would be ripe and ready by then. finally, here I go........ thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very much, Chitra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mrs.Chithra, I tried out your recipe for Appam, Vadai curry and came out finger-licking good ! Had never tried this combo before, and we thoroughly whacked it ! I had also tried out Paisparuppu payasam and Lemon jeera rasam --- very very good food I'm cooking nowadays, and enjoying thanks for your postings. Am trying out your bisibela bath tomorrow -- what would be the perfect accompaniment for it ? Should I make bahala bath also ? I purchased sugarless khoa ( 1/2 kg.) from a sweet stall to make Dumrot Halwa, but sadly didn't get even one small badhai of pumpkin. All shops had only poosanikkai !!! So, how to store the khoa properly -- will it keep for another 2 weeks at least ? Bye, K K .
