Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 1)

Dear Malathy,
Thanks for your "once in a way" visit here !
Vegetables like ladies' finger, brinjal do let out water when deep fried making noise - but mushroom creates a "racket" when deepfried ! It is safer to keep a slightly big kadai when deepfrying such vegetables.
Assure Jey, the water does not leave the veggie completely . You can see it in the taste, when the veggie is soft after deep frying. Otherwise it would be leathery, devoid of water completely !
Love,
Chithra.

 

Dear Chithra,
your success is that you have made even youngsters like MeenaNeelakantan and now Swethakrishnan cook. Hats off to you:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff.
Even people like me, who had been cooking for some time, find your instructions to the T and are able to make great hits of all that we make (earlier all that used to be vaachan pochan). Great going! Your efforts are worth thousand times.
And true, as and when you get the FB, you get more motivated.

Dear Swetha,
good, good, keep going! I should give you equal credit:hatsoff:hatsoff:hatsoff.

 

Hello Mami,
Made vegetarian omlette today for breakfast. Apart from maida and besan, I also tossed in some oats and the taste was great. Made peanut chutney to go with it, we all liked it.

These days I am adding oats to almost everything! Couple of days back my semia upma became a little watery, and I added some oats to set it right. And the result was very good.

Regards,
Nithya

Dear Nithya,
Too good a FB !
You are very innovative! I have just started adding oats to soups, for thickening !
My friend teases me that the Indian Manufacturer of oats, must pay me royalty !!
Thanks.
Love,
Chithra.

 

Dearest Mami


banana:bananaI got the oats idli right this time....I realized that it was the excess amount of water that spoiled my idli the last time....

Personally, I still love oats upma and oats dosai more than oats idli....

Anyway :bowdown for teaching me so much.

I have become now very confident and familiar with making Asoka Halwa...I made it again last evening....

Being sweet lovers, we used to always have stock of sweets bought from the shops...now it is the stock of sugar and ghee that I m piling up at home:queen...

bye

 

Dear Saraswathi,
So, you are a sweet-toothed one like me? Please try confidently more halwas. Most of them are very simple.
For idli, always, the dough consistency makes all the difference. Getting it right is more important than your liking it !!
Thanks for the FB.
Love,
Chithra.
