Yes, Mam. I am awaiting their arrival with confidence. It is actually I can't wait to 'show up'. If not for your wonderful tutorials I might have surrendered myself to Ammukka. But now it is an entirely different scenario.

I was skeptical about consuming greens and curd for dinner. But, we finish off by 7.30. So, it is greens soup with floating balls and curd quinoa. I used curds made of low fat milk, I shallow fried the balls and reduced the amount of cheese to just 1 tsp. I am done with making and tasting. So good.

Nan 'chamathu ponnu', Mam. Inba was the sole proprietor of this 'kidnap' idea. He got so wild of all the barriers inclusive of my hesitation and acted accordingly

 

Dear Mami,

Good morning! Here comes my weekend FBs...

1.Sat morning BF - Moong dal dosa - Fabulous. Easy recipe and very tasty. Though I didn't try with S&S chutney, the dosas themselves were great. Also very light compared to adai and pesarattu.

2.Sunday lunch - Paruppundai kuzhambu. your recipe is different from what parents make with sambar powder(yes, dad is also a good cook). I liked your version and the idea of steaming urundais is a good trick :thumbsup. I normally don't consider this as a easy recipe.

3.Macroni and Pasta - This is my first bake and was very excited with the result.Now my eyes are on Pasta Bake. Hope to try it during the week. you made me take the next step in cooking today. All because of your encouragement. Thank you very much

 

dearest chitra mami

happy navarathri.. this weekend we had called some of the ladies for golu. Friday made dates kheer and peanut sundal. Sat made Bread Payesh and pattani sundal (thengai mangai style). both days the kheer and sundal came out excellent. very very easy recipes and now I can do dates kheer by heart. earlier i had made seven cup cake (with maida).. first i prob didnt keep it enough in the stove and the pieces turned out very soft .. so i put the pieces back and stirred for a while longer.. this time it defo got better but I was probably expecting it to not be chewy but melty.. the taste was great though but konjam javvu.. my dH said, dont give this to the ladies when they come first otherwise they may not be able to open their mouth for singing for some time .. this was the take home sweet so that was not an issue.

thx for all the recipes.. i loved the navarathri list of prasadams link.

Dear C,

After a long break I made saffron Honey Bread and Multigrain biscuits last week. My FIL loved the bread.
Its a appadiye sapidalam bread After reading Inbaroja's feedback I made badamkheer, it was just superb. Also made Kadalaparuppu Sundal . Everything came out awesome.

I made peanut chutney this morning, baked the peanuts for 10 minutes. They got perfectly roasted!! Easy o easy no oil too. Jiffy Paruppusili is ready in the fridge, I can make parruppusili whenever I want Today I also made 'Kovaikkai podi potta curry', its just superb!!

 

Dear Mam,

Lo and behold! Before I opened the forum somehow I thought I was going to see these 'onnum theriyadha ...' from you. I wish you were the 'thozhi pen' during my marriage

Foodwise? Feel like telling some more. 'Sabai mariyadhai' karudhi I am leaving it

O, you go hand in hand with the present generation. Once done Inba never turns back to the kitchen except for water. But, I look around for some cookies, fruits etc.

I tried poori and potato. 'Aha!' was what Inba said.

Today's naivedhyam is carrot halwa(another version). Making it was like a cakewalk and eating, a true delight.

Great day!
