Chitvish Recipes - Post your comments here (part 4)

Dear mami,

Long time , I didnt write any fb, though have been trying your recipes, mainly repeats. HAve been browsing your forum when ever I could get time. I dont go to any other thread, but this post your comments thread to catch up reading others fb. I have been repeating tiffin dishes like kollu sprout pongal ( this has bettered every time I have tried and now I think I have mastered it) and puli kuzhambu , kali kindina dosai , rava idli , pav bhaji(again a favourite with my DD) . Subjis like Gobi simla mirch, then methi malai mattar with white gravy (made white gravy first time and liked it very much in methi mattar malai) , cauliflower paratha, continental dishes like Pasta and vegetable casserole, Pasta vegetable cheese- both favourites of my DD . Made chakka pradhaman - first time - with amma made chakka varatti brought from Trivandrum - Tasted superb . This is my favourite and I drank it the whole day without any competition from anybody (both husband and DD are not great lovers of this). Made kesar nankhatai and eggless brownies (latter 2-3 times as this has become my DD's favourite). Thanks for all the recipes, only I could nt be regular in giving you fbs then and there.

Love
Radhi

 

chithmam,

yesterday night the kids rustled up double decker idli http://www.indusladies.com/forums/ask-chitvish/566-tasty-tiffins-tastier-snacks-27.html#post1530590, we had a whole day maintenance shut down, and had lot of idli batter.

the kids have been helping me a lot. S cuts vegetables and C has become better..thanks for the affirmation that it is not wrong to start young:hidewhen many thought i was being too hard on them to allow them to cook 5 years back)..

i have been under bed rest for the past one week and will continue for another one week to give my spine a healing time..

so have been taking their help for the dinner and we have not ordered anything outside in the whole episode.

with a proper managing with podi's, thokkus, chutneys and fp , cooking one pot meals, jiffy meals, tiffins has become literally child play..

thanks..

 

Dear Chithramma,
Made MW Rasam today, came out well:thumbsup. Only 6 LPG per year prompted me to try out MW rasam. Thank you so much, you have given recipes for all occasions!
Love,
Damini.

 

Dear Chithra,
yesterday I made the Oats and macaroni soup as it was raining suddenly. he comes at odd times now, not in time for tiffin neither for dinner. So made the soup and we both had it. R left for Trichur yesterday night. He likes to eat at the station so no dinner for him.
Made jiffy cereal oothappam for breakfast today as it was only me and A. And in the evening, I made the Vegan fruit filled banana bread, as I had all the things needed. Came out very good, so soft and with a fruity taste. But I added normal butter,curd etc. The dough looked too much for my big loaf tin so baked in that and a smaller one too. As soon as A came home, we finished the smaller loaf, of course after taking a photo. Can I refrigerate it in a Tupperware box?
I am taking A to Coimbatore tomorrow for his convocation on Sunday there. A happy moment for us- we doubted if he could pursue education in the mainstream and he had done well, by God's grace.This bake is sort of celebration bake.
But when I see those bakes in t he HBG, I am really tempted to bake more, I must say that.
