Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 4)

hi maami,

today was a lazy day and since i felt very lazy to cook dinner - made palak toast and missi roti, and had it with leftover raitha and pickles. hubby loved the palak toast. it was simple, easy to make and very very tasty. now onwards it is going to be a breakfast regular for sure.

thanx maami

warm regards

Mrs.C,

Actually, now that you are talking about Bengali kitchdi, recollected another conversation-one Bengali lady was saying that their kitchadi use to be very tasty too. She also mentioned that they fry soaked dal/rice before adding water. Looks like every region has their own kitchadis!! I remember eating kitchadi in a gujarati restaurant, Abudhabi served by a gujarati person with baingan bartha which was like your whole moong kitchadi with zero spices & no veggies!!

And, one of the keralite female was saying yesterday that they also use to add milk, sugar & yogurt in the panchamritham. It was completely liquid and rarely could see any fruits, banana in particular. Something interesting, isnt it?? Initially, thought that was abishega paal!!!

When time permits, pls do post Bengali kitchdi as well.

Rgds.

 

dearest chitra mami

yest my DH's star and date birthday coincided (he is 38). so made lemon cake.. i didnt have cooking soda (could i have used fruit salt instead ? ).. except for that everything else was according to proportion.. the cake didnt rise as much.. kind of had the consistency of kali.. but the taste was too good. i didnt add the glaze on top.

yest cooking was all according to DH's demand.. CVVK with beans paruppu usili, semiya payasam, evening snack bhel puri, night made baby corn /palak soup with sandwich (fresh veges). the soup was unbelievable - just so few ingredients and absolutely lip smacking. i didnt hav palak so used frozen spinach. this is going to be a frequent repeat. i added fresh tofu as well. even the kids had one bowl of it (had to feed them but still)

thx for the super yummy recipes

My dear Chithra,

I wanted to write to you immediately after finishing our dinner, so here goes my feedback for Iyengar Masala Toast, it was lip smackingly delicious. The toast was crisy, tasty and very flavourful. I had also made light corn soup along with toast. The dinner was not only very enjoyable yet very tasty. I followed the first recipe of frying methi leaves along with onions and carrots.

Thank you very much for sharing yet another super duper recipe. Like Rama, I am also a big fan of kitchadis with veggies. Could you please post the Bengali kitchadi recipe at your leisure, I would love to try it at the earliest.

Love and regards
Priya

 

Dear Chithra Ma'm,
On saturday for dinner made Mysore Masala Dosai with Chutney.Everybody liked it.I made red chutney without garlic(DH does not like garlic), though the one with garlic would have been more restaurant like.Coconut Chutney was apt for this dosa. Yesterday we finished off the batter with just red chutney.Thank you for such delicious recipe.
Love,
Damini.
