Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 4)

My dear Chitvish,

Once again today, I am doing a big batch of grapes pickle for our local temple. I bought a load of seedless green grapes at the farmer's market and lo behold, they were sour! If they are sweet, they disappear into thin air, but when sour, no one touches them! But I have no worries. There is always our Chitvish's recipes to save us.
I have done this pickle so often and it is always a success with everyone, both unusual and tasty.
I just thought I'd drop in a note of thanks in your forum which seems to have grown gigantic in the meantime!!

Dear Mami, How are you? I made idli and potato masala sambar this weekend. It was a fabulous combination. I used the same sambar for idli,dosa and roti. Thanks to you mami, I have one more dish to 'wow' the guests. DH was so impressed that he told me to note down the dish in the personal collection of recipes.

 

Dear Chithra,
no cooking due to my hand and also no maid. Only yesterday, a maid came over and has to stabilise with her before I resume cooking. I had a loaf of bread and that was used for breakfast for two days. I whipped up the ice cream after coming back from hospital and made plain ice cream with ice cream essence and strawberry with the store bought pulp. Both was good and I served it to family when they came over to visit me. Longing to get back to routine.

 

Dear C,

Weekend went well. As mentioned I made icecreams, it was mint and Pan icecreams this weekend. The flavour was awesome and it came out sooooooooooo well. I followed the second method and I felt when I whisked it the second time it became more than double :thumbsup. After making two flavours I still have some plain ice cream left.

M's cousin's family came home for lunch yesterday. Being sunday it was typical sunday menu with Masala vadai, CVVK, Methi Dhal, Tomato Rasam and baby potato fry. Dessert was icecreams the guests were stunned to hear that pan icecream was homemade. Sooooooooooooooo many thanks to you.

Also made chocolate nankhatai which came out well, it got over already, coz M's cousin's daughter liked it very much, so I kept just 4 for us and packed remaining to her. Her mom called this morning and said 'Srinika is loving the biscuits a lot'.

Made MW Salted peanuts. They are so easy to make with 0 oil. I love to make such snacks for M as its oil free but protein rich

Forgot to say that I amde Kalyana Rava Khichdi for Sat breakfast. It was soooooooo good. I hardly get to eat good SI foods unless made in home. This one took me to Chennai.

One last query I have, have you posted any recipe on Soya or Soya chunks. I went through the recipe index but no able to get any. At the moment I just know to make Sundal out of it. Any suggestion from your side will be useful.
