    Dear Priya,
    MW is NOT AMUST at all. Infact, no cooking is necessary.
    Just add whatever sauce to the cooked & drained pasts & serve. I have given a few varieties of pasts - refer to the 2nd & 3 rd page of recipe index.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chithra,
    I have been planning to ask you about this-what about the thanneer kozhukattai? I am sure you woould have made it several times. I love the taste of boiled rice with coconut, we used to eat the raw dough when my mother used to make them, grinding in the aattukkal. Also the water in which it is boiled, just flavorful and tasteful. Mother used to keep a small piece of jaggery inside some and make them in a special shape for easy identification. I do make sometimes, but it is a wee bit difficult to grind in the grinder.
    You must be having tips to make it a success. Please do share that! Thank you very much.

    Varloo, I just love it & can gobble any no: with plain sugar. I have not bothered to post it, 'simbly'!!
    It needs good sikappu arisi available in kerala. I soak it for 4-6 hrs, drain well & pulsate in mixi with no water till it crumbles completely. Then add (plenty of) fresh coconut, little salt & grind adding very little water (if at all) to a coarse paste.
    Now I make balls, steam well & keep ready.
    Just before serving, boil water, add these, give a few boils & remove.I love it with little water!!
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chithra,
    thanks for the tips, I have some red rice got from Kerala. Will try it soon. And, what about trying in FP? Will the boiled rice get coarse like dhal in FP? Or is it risky to do it in FP?

    Dear Varloo, do not use FP. Use only mixi.
    Love,

    Dear mami,

    I have been planning to make almond cookies .
    For the ground almond...do we grind it with the skin. I did that and I find that its light brownish is color...hence the doubt.

    Thanx

    Saras, I think, for cookies, powdering with skin does not matter at all. It won't look very odd.
    If you are very particular, follow the metod of powdering given in
    Butter Badham Halwa
