Hello Mrs CV,

My mom has not heard of this halwa. anyway, i was browsing through the index of Samaithu par part two and there, i found this mohan halwa. It is a slight variation of mohan dhal. I am not sure if this is the recipe but worth a try. it sounds delicious.

Well good luck with the recipe.

Thank you, to both of you. I feel mean making you all search high and low for Mohana halwa. But like all elusive things, it has captured my interest.

I am grateful that both of you have found it. But please do not put more efforts. Atleast now, I have a couple of leads, because of both of you, and that is fantastic.

Thanks again.
warm regards

In the last days, i have prepared garlic rasam, corn pulao, vethaya thokkku and sago idli. All new and special, so thank you from all of us. Now I want to make godumai halwa by pressure cooker. My biggest problem is grinding lapsi to extract godumai paal. My neighbour mami is telling me that we can immerse chapathi maavu in water and extract milk from that easily. What is this method? Is it easy but will taste be same? Can you please give some idea? Thank you.
loving regards

If soaked well, lapsi can be ground very easily, no problem at all ! Mixi is good enough. I have tried with the flour, but found this better.
Thanks for the list of feedbacks.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Hi Mrs.Chithra,

In general, how long it would take for the idly batter to grind particularly in Ultra? I sometimes feel whether I grind a little longer or so??

Waiting for yr reply.

Hi Mrs.chitra Madam,

mohana.

Dear Ami,
If all ingredients mixed together come to 5-6 cups, you must grind for atleast 1 hr, not less.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

You can always substitute chow chow for white pumpkin in all recipes. For soups you can substitute laukee as well.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear Mrs.Chithra,

Thanks,
