Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 3)

Dear Chithramma,

y'day the semiya bbath was such a hit. i added green grapes (store-bought) and cucumber from my balcony garden

DH's friend and his family were here. the wife was once a member of IL and not logging in any more due to family routine. she had been asking for recipes for all dishes and my constant answer was 'Chithramma'. y'day she tasted your idli and hotel sambar and will now on be a regular here. this friend has experienced my 'cooking skills' during my newly married days and was taken aback at the improvement ella pugazhum ungalukke

i also made peas dhokla twice (for us) as now it's raining peas here. eagerly awaiting corns to appear as well. and not to mention i've frozen peas and green beans in bulk.

Dear Chithra madam,

Very glad to see you back in action. I wish you for a speedy recovery. My mom had got 5 surgeries related to her legs so far and I can understand how it feels like to the person undergoing such surgeries. I donot have any fbs as we moved to a different state last week. Just cooking the basics for now. yet to unpack all the stuff. Though I donot have any fbs my Mother-inlaw is giving me somany fbs to be conveyed to you with her due Thanks. She made set dosais couple of times now and told me that it cameout perfect all the times. She is travelling these days between Bangalore and Mysore and so she is into instant powder cooking these days. She gave me many fbs to be conveyed to you for instant kootu, saaru, huLLi and majjigay huLLi. Now all her powders are done and she is planning to make new batch of it once she is back at home. Please accept all the Thanks that (I) a messenger is conveying.

Regards
Shree

 

Dear Chithra Ma'm,
Made Badham Burfi, Moong Dal Chakli & Choco-Pista Roll for a trip to my sister's place tomorrow.Badham burfi has come out very tasty & soft.No lumps thanks to your tip of using a whisk to add badham paste:thumbsup.The padham is usually tricky for me but with this method it was easier.Moong dhal chakli is very easy to make & trully melt in the mouth even without any butter.Made Choco-Pista Roll as everybody loves this professional looking sweet.Thank you so much:bowdown.I'll let you know others FBs as well.
Made for DD lunch box Kothamalli Saadham with onion raitha.DS tasted it & he liked it as well.That is one jiffy-tasty rice.Thank you.Hope your pain is decreasing.
Love,
Damini.

 

Maami, I am not very confident with soups.:hide: And most of the soups that I like are creamy soups. Infact the only soup I used to have are creamy tomato soup and Sweet corn vegetable soup in india. After coming here, the only soup I really like is meditteranean lentil soup. I have tried making it and the version I make is not as good as the authentic version.So, stopped venturing into it. Should try your salads esp the dressings but I just dont get enthu if shiva doesn't like them - salads being one of them :bonk. I should try to break this and try new stuff.

Please take care of yourself and take adequate rest. Will comeback with a FB soon. I have a long list of pending dishes to try.

Thanks,
Aswini
