Chithramma,

I hope you remember me..:hide:.. Hope you are doing well..I have not been here for months.. that means I have not been inside the kitchen for any full fledged cooking for months.. :hide:.yes, I was completely busy with so many things happening around.. We have shifted from that house to RA puram.. Shibu has started walking, actually running..Priya has joined in a new job.. J has moved to new company.. Yes, I know you found that I am trying to get excuses..
But even then, I should tell you that you can be proud of me for the below reason.. J invited one of his newly married couple for dinner on Saturday.. I really had no time to plan or shop..I was asked to start at 6.30 and at 7.15pm, I was done with all.. Phulkas, Baingan bhartha, vegetable pulao, boondhi raitha, rice, rasam and pappad. :cheers..And all these with mom and Priya not around to help and with Shibu playing/crying my side..I am soooooooo thankful to you.. It would not have happened if I am not trained by your recipes.. Defintely I would not have done things this fast and easily if someone else had taught me cooking...Thank you so much Chitramma..All the credit goes to you!!

Dear Chitra mami,

Belated Kathigai wishes. I tried Pori Urundai for the first time. Normally I dont make urundai and only kilaral, as per my mom's custom. But my hubby likes urundai as is done by his mother. So prepared urundai for the first time and that too I tried with candy thermometer. And it came out perfect. The tips of urundai to be kept in heaps in butter paper and then softly to be made as urundai using ghee in hand to shape , all helped , with the result, it was a shining round pori urundais. Also made Unniappam with 3/4 wheat flour and 1/4 rice flour proportion and it came so soft and fluffy , better than last time, when I made half half of each flour.

Some of the other items which I tried last week are Kovil Dosai, Oats Dosai (with onion), Vegetable Tava Paratha, and Chinese Noodles. All tasted superb , my favouriet was oats dosai. Simply superb and so jiffy.

Thanks mami

 

Dear Mrs.Chitra,
My son and I baked brownie muffins today. He loves to help me out in the kitchen and wanted to bake something today. The muffins have come out superb. Very easy and delicious eggless brownie recipe to make.
Thanks.

can we make sago idli without the fruit salt?

for the idli recipe - for the batter is it ok if i use parboiled rice or ordinary rice instead of pulungal arisi?

for rava idli can i make it without fruit salt or baking soda?

Dear Chithra Ma'm,
Just had my dinner & I could not wait till tomm to give the fb on Rajma Curry & Capsicum Stir-Fry Rice.I cooked the rajma just as you said & wow - melt in the mouth rajma:bowdownBoth the kids liked rajma curry & DD loved the gravy as well.Capsicum Stir-Fry rice was so easy to make & the subtle flavoured rice made a very good combo with rajma.Thank you so much for helping me cook that elusive rajma perfectly.
Love,
Damini.
