Re: Ways with greens and sauces.

Hi Vijee,

I will check it out and shall familiarise myself with the different greens. So, the next time I will have a different variety to cook and eat too!

Thanks

Mock Meat!!

Hi all,

Where do we get mock meat to cook apart from the usual soya nuggets. Is there a particular brand that we need to look for. Oops..last time when I was here I tried the fish stuff...something with bean curd...it was bad. But I like the veggie korma that the food courts have with potato and mock meat. I usually go shopping to westmall where there is shop n save and NTUC closeby.

Any clues????????????

Curds

Hi there....its me again,

How do u all set curds at home. I've been buying Paul's, Farmhouse and Vishnu these days. But I want to have home made ones. So, what milk to use to set it. I tried to do once and to my disappointment it didnt set one whole day...dont know why :-(

To drink we use Cowhead Low Fat milk. Should I go for full cream milk?

Suggestions please
Poornima.

 

Re: Mock Meat!!

Hi Vijee,

Thank you. I shall check it out when I go shopping this weekend. I will surely let you know how well I cooked up the meat!!!!Big Laugh

Yday, I bought Magnolia Full cream milk and added a spoon of paul's curd to a cup of warm milk and left it near my stove. This morning when I saw it was half set. I guess by lunch it should be good. But I wonder why it is a kind of sticky...does that how the curd sets???????????

I will have curd rice in the noon and let you know how it came out ultimately.

Bye
Poorni.

 

Re: Curds

Hi Poornima,


since the time i came here i hav been using the amul milk for making curds,either of both types.bfore i wuld just boil the milk wait till it bcame luke warm n then add half tspn curds,i wuld get gd curds in abt 8 hrs time.

now i only warm the milk n add half spn curds n allow the curd to b set,n i get curds in 6 hrs time.

or else u can even add half warm milk n half of the milk directly frm carton n add the half spn curds n allow it to set.u get very thick curds.

never use any fresh milk here for setting the curds as v get the sticky curds,n for starter curd vishnu suits well.

hope this helps.

bye

Re: Curds

hi Poorni,
I faced the same problem when i shifted here as the kitchen is v cool. So i boil the milk( whatever milk u r comfortable with), letit cool, then heat it up to degree a little more than luke warm- if u dip ur little finger in the milk, u should feel the bearable heat; then i add half a ladle of curds then i use the churner- mathu and churn until all the curds have mixed with the milk. then i cover the vessel with a plate and wrap the whole vessel with a kitchen towel and keep it in the microwave. ur curds will set within 4-5 hours. try it out and let me know!
all the best.
