Dear Chithra mam,

Today i thought of trying ur tur dhal oothappam for tomorrow tiffin.while i was soaking tur dhal, it struck me that cooked rice is different and boild rice is different.As i always use idly rava ,it didnt strike me that boiled rice is different and i was preparing to do with cooked rice.
Mam, as i dont have boiled rice with me and here i already soaked tur dhal,now,plz tell me wat to do with the washed dhal.How to follow the recipe now?

Regards,
Spandhana

Dear Chithra mam,

please tell me whether boiled rice and cooked rice are same or not.If not,wat do u advice me with the soaked tur dhal.

Thanks in advance

Dear Spandhana,
Strange that the reply I posted immediately is not to be seen.
Please proceed with idli rava. Soak it & grind it with tur dhal. If raw rice, use half the amount specified for boiled rice.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Love,
Chithra.

Hello Madam,

I'm a new Ilite here. I'm looking for a recipe of "Sutta kuzambu" or Ericha kuzambu. I don't remember the name of that kuzambu exactly. Actually it's made up of all left over currys and sambhar,rasam,.. I had this kuzambu in my childhood. it tastes heavenly. Does it have any procedure make this kuzambu? I tried this once but it didn't taste that good.

Could you give the recipe/procedure of this kuzambu?

Thanks!

Dear Inimai,
Welcome here - such a lovely tamil user-name!
For sutta kuzambu, any puli kuzambu with or without dhal, left over keerai are must. Coconut is best avoided for fear of the same getting spoilt. Rasam left over (rasa vandi) can be combined. All the left overs are boiled together & simmered for a while.
The more spicy the original dishes are, the more tasty ericha kuzambu is.
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chithra Madam,
