    Dear Maami,

    I tried to make Amrit Peda with sugar alcohol and it was a disaster. I have to figure out the tweaks to make it with sugar alcohol I guess. We made Thenkuzhal and Omappodi.

    I made chinese fried rice and gobi manchurian over the weekend for Athmika's third month birthday. I also made ice cream using First Ice cream base(2). It came out very well and I have decided not to buy icecream from stores :)

    I am thinking of asking my in-laws to get CMC and GMS from chennai. Does adding CMC and GMS increase the creaminess of the icecream?

    Aswini, sugar alcohol, being new to me, I am not competent to advise you about tweaks!!
    Thanks for the FBs.
    Both CMC & alcohol give "stability" & fluffiness (only) to the ice cream & the ice cream becomes absolutely creamy with very little cream ( I use non-dairy cream). Plese see the recipe - GMS is needed much more. So for every carton of CMC, you need perhaps 4 of GMS!!
    Take care.

    Dear Chitra mam,

    Hope you are doing very well.. We are almost settled now and I made a few things for Diwali, which I wanted to share with you. I made Kaju Katli, Badam Halwa, Thenkuzal, Laddus, Dry Fruits Burfi and Gulab Jamun with Khoa. Everything came out very well except the Gulab Jamun cos I think the khoa (or mawa as they sell it here) (are they both the same??) wasnt really natural. The gulab jamun collapsed..but still tasty. I gave out sweets to my neighbours and my daughter's teachers who all gave excellent feedback. Thank you! Sorry for late feedbacks, but here things a little busy for me!

    I keep exploring new ideas and try out different recipes which I see on TV or read, which dont always come out well, but I think the confidence to even try out something is cos of you and all your foolproof recipes. Thanks to u for everything.

    Take care.
    Love
    Shyamala

    Dear Chithra,
    I made yellow gravy and white gravy and prserved in freezer. I made subji with cooker vegs and yellow gravy and it was taken well by R. These pastes are such a great help. I am planning tomake karamani with jain gravy for lunch today for myself. Boiled beans is ready, I will just put both in cooker and give a whistle (literally).

    No problem. Mistakes do happen.
    In 1 tsp oil,fry onions or whatever tadka you want; add gravy, very little salt & simmer. Add paneer pieces, simmer forfew mtes, switch off. Add little malai or butter(optional),keep it covered for the paneer to absorb all flavours.
