Dear Chithu,
I made oats dosai with onions for breakfast.It was tasty, healthy and delicious.Thanks a ton!

I see everyone is raving about MW alu poha...how to do it on stove top? Also, the climate being little colder during nights for the past week, my curds are taking more time to become eatable. Any special way to adjust them to the cold climate? I'm following yout tips on curds from day one.

 

Dear Chithra,
made Badam Cake, half recipe as usual. Came out very well, R said it tastes good. I too tasted and liked it immensely. The problem is that I find it difficult to stop eating it. So tasty!
I have a small doubt- my sister makes badam cake in mysore pak consistance (that is firm but soft to eat). The colour is also slightly darker. Your recipe is softer and just melts in mouth. What is the difference?

 

Dear Aishu,
I have given Alu poha-stove top in tiffins long back.
Just warm the milk a little more & keep inside a cupboard.
Love,
Chithra.

 

Re: TheVAI SeVAI!!

Dear Rama,
Specially for Ami, I will post Tomato Sevai!!
The quantity of water for poha depends only on the quality & not the colour. Add first less & then sprinkle more, if necessary.
Love,
Chithra.

 

Dear Varloo,
There are many recipes for badham cake. I find this fool proof & hence make it by this method only!!
I really cannot say!
Love,
Chithra.

 

Thanks for the wishes Aunty....Though Am not in a trying spree,I crave for good food this time around.So nanna sapdanumna senju dhan aganum inga.Can't expect anyone else to comeover to do that for me!

That is why ur wide spectrum of recipes is helping me to deal with my toungue:crazy.
Today did karuvadam vathalkuzhambu,mysore rasam and beetroot curry for lunch.Your tip on pressurising the beetroot before peeling is really useful.Makes the cutting job very easy.
Thanks once again

 

Hello Chithramma,

You are 200% right... mothers cannot afford to fall sick. I am up on my feet today. I had to because we had an early morning appointment today. Anyways i am glad week-end is not far away and i can rest. So today i made chapathi with the help of my dough kneader attachment. I never used this accessory before and what a boon it is. The maavu was sooo soft. Only trouble is i started with 1 cup of atta and ended up adding one more (thanni kanakku thapayiduthu). But frankly this one also needs some strength in hand. Sometimes the dough kneader athu pattukku sutharathubonk. My chapathis are super soft today.

Thotukka 'madi dal'... athu onnumilla moong dal with a simple tempering of green chillies, ginger and finally lemon juice. This name given by amma... the only side-dish appa will have with chapathi. Here I made him eat mutter paneer athu thani kadhai:thumbsup.

Next week my sil is visiting us for a night. I have zeroed in on mushroom karakuzhambu. Please suggest other items:hide:. Oh dessert would be pink payasam with adai.

Latha
