    Dear Mrs.Chithra,
    Thanks for the tips, i have been catching up on reading all the threads here and tips thread is very useful, made methi powder, curryleaves powder and now this gives a good taste to sambhar. for hing can i use the readymade powder?or is it better to buy those bars and sundry and powder it? i feel the hing powder available here is old as not much flavour like the one my mom used to use.
    And also ur kitchen photos look great. i need some suggestions on those cabinets.
    Thanks so much.
    love,
    Vpriya.

    Grocery List

    How did I miss the Grocery List?

    It is absolutely fantastic.

    Thanks for having a ready made list. I made a futile attempt countless times. Never succeeded in making a complete list.

    We can always make modifications to the list to suit our necessities:clap:clap:wave

    Dear vpriya !

    I am sorry, I seem to have missed this post. If you can dry hing & make your own powder, nothing like hat definitely !
    You can send me your queries on kitchen doubts.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Snacks that can be stocked in the freezer for visitors

    Plan this way. Once a week, prepare a batch of anyone of the following & freeze in plastic shallow boxes lined with Al foil, single file. They can be directly, deep or shallow fried, as the case may be. Just remember, deep frozen will take a little longer to cook through completely.
