Dear Chitra Maami,

I apologize for this late feedback after the Thanksgiving feast. Have been tending to a sick child. Like I had mentioned before, made Mughlai Biryani, again. Anyway, I cooked the rice in a little coconut milk to add to the richness of the dish and tone down the "heat" for my American friends. Also added some dry fruits, chopped Pineapple, some cherries and nuts to make it truly decadent dish. That dish did justice to its name. Truly a "Royal" dish. Needless to say, I felt like the Belle of the Ball all night<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" oreferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"> :queen. <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><vath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></vath><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype>Semma hit Maami!!! Made Boondi-Pomegranate raita to go with it. A lot of people personally stopped by to say that it was Finger-licking good. . I kept thinking, Chitra Maami ki Jai. :bowdown.


This weekend menu will include Spoon Halwa, Morekuzhambu Vadai (If, I remember correctly, I saw it on Thanu's spread), Mint thokku. I was almost drooling after seeing pics of Spoon Halwa. It looks so good. Can't wait to try it.


I agree with Deepa, the khus khus payasam with cashews came out awesome. My daughter's verdict.."Yummy, Mummy" :thumbsup or should it be "Yummy Maami"


I will be back with more feedback Mami.

Love,
Sakshi.

 

Hi Chitrama,

Made Mukkala Pappu today for lunch, it tasted very nice. Also made Cream of Mushroom soup for dinner as it is getting cold here. The soup tasted very rich and yummy
Planning to try soup varieties from now on.

Thanks for the wonderful recipes.

Dear Mrs C
I tried spoon halwa today . Romba sooper.I soaked the rava for only half hour(will it make any difference in the taste and quality?)as I was in a hurry to take this to my friends place.Your picture is really tempting. Halwa thirandu varuvathai paartha vudane try pannanum pola irukku.
One question. For the pieces, should we cook the halwa for some more time??
Thanks for such an easy and fast halwa .Next time I should try putting pieces.

Triple "S"

Hi hi HI Mrs.Chithra,

Sagu + Sevai + Spoon halwa comes a Deluxe Dinner!! Do you agree with me?

Sagu-cant believe though added minimum amount of coconut(pls apologize me) gave a great taste as the dish became little shortage for us(Deepa suggested me, btw.)

Sevai-a repeat, but preparation has become a piece of cake which should be underlined.

Spoon halwa-pls pls change the name as cup halwa for people's happiness sake. Such a taste & easy to make; added just saffron and so, it was deep brown in color or IRUTTUKADAI HALWA color!!!

Have a fine day.

Rgds.
