Substitute For Sour Cream - if fresh sour cream is not available! Fresh cream - 1 cup Thick curds - 1-2 tbsp Salt - 2 pinches Whisk cream till it is thick & soft peaks form. Add curds & salt & mix well. Serve chilled. Freshly hung cards can be substituted for cream.
Substitute for Self-Raising Flour Maida - 1 kg Baking powder - 1 1/4 tsp Mix & sieve together atleast 4 times for perfect blending.
Substitute for Cream Cheese To make cream cheese, boil, say, 1 litre of milk. Remove & keep aside for 5 mts. Mix 1 tsp citric acid (or white vinegar) with 1/2 cup of warm water & add. It will curdle on its own. If necessary, gently stir. Now strain in a thin cloth, leaving it with little whey to get a creamy consistency. Blend the hot residue till thick & creamy.
How to extract mango pulp? When mangoes are available in plenty, I always extract the pulp and freeze it for round the year use. There are 2 methods: 1 - For special juicy varieties like Rasalu. select well rioe fruits. Cut off from the narrow end a piece 1"from the tip.. Now start squeezing it from the top, pressing nicely. The entire pulp flows out. 2 - For big fruits: Make a circular cut all along the diameter of the fruit, with a sharp knife. Hod right side with right hand & let side with left hand.Twist the fruit, right hand clockwise & left hand anticlockwise or vice versa. The fruit will get split into 2 parts, one with the seed & the other without. Now scoop ourt the entire pulp with a spoon. In both methods, liquidise the pulp for a uniform texture. I will post photos in the next few days.

Tomato idli – let us continue to play with mini idlis! Cook 4-5 bright red tomatoes with 2-3 red chillies, salt & hing with 3 tbsp water till soft. Liquidise & keep. Mini idlis - 10-12 To temper: Oil - 1 tbsp Mustard seeds - 1 tsp Urad & gram dhal - 2 tsp each Heat oil & temper as given. Add tomato chutney. When it starts boiling add idlis till there are just enough to soak in the chutney. Simmer for 2 mts, switch off & keep covered. Idlis will soak & become soft. Remove & garnish with cashewnuts fried in 1 tsp ghee.
