Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 1)

Hello rsankar !

Dear rsankar,
Thankyou for the feedback on MMD - it seems to have become a general favourite !
You are making me more & more curious to know, who is the friend who introduced you to this forum ! You have already written twice about her ( or him?).
Regards,
Chithra.

 

Hello Varloo!

Dear Varloo, Thankyou for the greetings.
I hope you all enjoyed my eggless fruit cake, specially made for the new year !
Regards,
Chithra.

 

thank you

Dear madam,

thank you for posting different payasam/kheer recipes, for my sake. Especially for mampazha payasam. I like yr catchy line, it is a Malayalam movie song. I do not know what 'ball and stick' payasam is- I am very curious.

Can you post doodhi payasam and halwa, and also dates payasam? I made khandvi and it came out well. Initialli I could not spread it, so I lost some koozhu. But after some tries, it came well and melted in mouth.


thanking you
sincerely

Hello Sakhi !

Dear Sakhi,
Lauki halwa - you can follow the damrot halwa recipe. It comes out very well. Also you can try the micro carrot halwa recipe.Both are very suitable.
Laukhi kheer, I tried in microwave once & just noted down roughly. Please try it.
For both, please send me the feedback - you can be my tester !
Dates kheer - I shall try once again & post the recipe.
Now that you have tried khandvi, I am posting dhokla now !
Love,
Chithra.

 

kheer

Dear madam,

I am happy to be the tester. But can give both micro wave and gas stove method, I do not have microwave. For doodhi halwa, should we add khove or not? I have eaten with mava, not like damrot halwa.

Also, u have not put doodhi kheer recipe. Thanks for dhokla method, khandvi was very good, proffessional standard.

Thanks.
sincerely
Sakhi

 

query

Dear Chitra,

just a small query here.
for banana dosai, do we use the green banana (pacha vazhai) or the yellow ones??

thanks.

 

Hello Meena!

Dear Meena,
Preference is for yellow variety - if you can't get it, use green variety. Since you are grinding it, there may not be much difference in taste.
Regards,
chithra.

Love & Regards,

 

Idly feedback

Dear Mrs Chithra,

Last night my idlis came out really well. They were spongy and when pressed would bounce back. The inside was also well cooked. This is inspite of the fact that I used cooked rice instead of aval and it took two days to ferment. The best idli made with minimum effort.

In this recipe of garlic pickle, if I eliminate jaggery, saunf to give it a more hot (not hot-sweet-sour) taste and more of a South Indian taste, what will it tun out like? What adjustments need be made to other spices?

Also will it be possible to post mixed vegetable pickle at your convenience? No hurry.

Thanking you
best regards
Vidya

 

Hello Vidya !

Dear Vidya,
As I wrote earlier, idli - success feed back makes me very happy !
In garlic pickle, no change need be made at all with respect to other ingredients.
Mixed vegetable pickles is no: 8 in the pickle thread - how did you miss it ? ! I am surprised.
Regards,
Chithra.
