Hi Gowri and Nandu, Thanks. your dishes look yummy too. It's lunch time here on the west coast and I am drooling looking at all the great pics. The cauliflower rasam looks yummy - is it your own recipe or available in chit vish index?
Dear Mythraeyi, Honestly speaking, Did not know whether the receipe is there in Chitvish Index ? I learnt it from my Mother-in-law. Thanks for your kind words !! With love,
Supriya.. Very simple.. Wash the cauliflower florets and cook them in salt water for few minutes. I dont like it raw that much, so I cook it a bit more.. but make sure it doesnt break... Drain the water completely and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Mix few spoons(depends on how many florets you are using.. for 5 bog florets, I used 3-4 spoons.. I never measured it :-() of maida, corn flour, salt, red chilli powder as per your taste,1/2 spoon of ginger garlic, soy sauce, food color(I always use red.. but whatever you like) and ajinomoto (this is optional, but will give you restaurant taste). Make a fine paste and add cauliflower and toss in to coat it with the paste. Heat 2 cups of oil and deep fry the cauliflower florets and drain the excess oil with a paper towel. Then you can just garnish it with coriander and sauteed onions or with other veges like green, red, yellow peppers Before serving add a slice of lime !!!

Dhal – 2-3 tbsp ( Lentils - cooked and smashed well) Tomatoes - 1 ( diced ) Cauliflower - 5-6 florets Salt – to taste turmeric powder – 2pinch Green chilli – 1-2 nos ( Cut into 2-3 pieces and again cut its lengthwise) Lemon juice - squeezed from a lemon For tempering : Oil/Ghee - 1 tsp Mustard seeds - ½ tsp Hing – ¼ tsp Jeera - ½ tsp Curry leaves – 4-5 nos.
