Dear Mrs C,
I saw your potato pumpkin Jain subzi that you have posted today. Was wondering if it was white pumpkin or yellow[parangikai]. Please clear my doubt so I can try as soon as possible. Looks very interesting.

Love,

It is yellow parangikkai. I will edit the recipe & do the correction. Thanks for alerting me.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear ChitVish,

i have a small doubt . In your minestrone soup recipe, you have given tomato sauce, is it tomato ketchup or shd we prepare tomato sauce (if so, how do we prepare?)
Thanks

Eagle

Dear Eagle,
You can use tomato ketchup. Both sauce & ketchup, use store bought ones, it is not necessary to make.
Love & regards,

Dear Mrs Chitra,

I am trying to make savories (cheedai, ribbon pakoda, omappodi, and hopefully thattai too) from scratch this gokulashtami and hence trying to grind fine rice flour acc to ur tips. I am using my Preeti mixie for the same and getting tired already:(

I do not have a chalni bcz of which i am forced to use the tea strainer and hence, it is taking heck of a time and i am getting frustrated now. I have tried grinding over and over again and only half the amount is come out from the little sieve. Could you suggest what I could use the remaining non-fine(just a little worse than fine) rice flour for?

I am gonna try grinding once more and sieving as much as I can and shall use the rest for recipes that u suggest.

Thanks for being there
Shal

I appreciate you for using a tea strainer to sieve - it can be exasperating, to put it mildly !
Cheedai, I have given with maida, so there is no problem there.
If it is just one shade more than fine, just try omapodi & thenkuzal - a small quantity.
The rest you can use for atta dosai, maida dosai, akki roti, puli upma etc.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Oh my! I will defly tell amma that I got such a quick response from you that my thoughts of whether I should pro'lly call her incase you don't respond until trow morning were put to rest!!!!

Thanks so much for the suggestions galore! I shall try and make thenkuzhal or dosais:)

Love
Shal
