Third Thread - Chitvish Recipes - Post your Comments here

Believe me, Vidhs, this morning I did think of you & here you are!!
I tried my US niece's version of avocado dip, not exactly glucamole, by coarse grinding, avocado, small onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, very little tomato, salt & lime juice.
Yes, pasiparuupu idli,after reading your comment, reminds me of dhokla.
Now I keep MW dried puthina & methis to make parahas with them 'at the drop of a hat'!!
Thanks.
Love,
Chithra.

Also tried palak + paneer salad. Is the palak supposed to be dried fully? When I was making, it just kept watering away even after it had shrunk.

Dearesttt Chitra Mam

Today made Jain Kadai Paneer and Cucumber Palida to go with Roti for lunch.. Cucumber palida is lip smacking ..My Paternal Grand mother (father is from Mangalore )used to do Cucumber palida very oftenly and it is named as "Kerkithigai sasmi " (Cucumber is called Kerkithigai ,sasmi is called Mustard in Thulu) .. Iam def going to call my GM and tell her how we relish this simple dish .

Thanks a ton !!!!!

Dear Chitramma,

Thanks.. with soo many interesting FBs and lip-smacking photos, my heart doesnt want to relax at all.. Made the creamy yummy Cream of Mushroom Soup and waiting for S to come home to try it.. He doesnt like Mushroom but has promised me he will try this one without prejudice. Lil S is sleeping so yet to give it to her. She likes mushroom esp when I make Mushroom Exotica but awaiting her verdict on this cos this has milk in it.. .

Thanks for all your sure win recipes.

Love

Beti, I am happy, you are making full use of MW + convection.
You added butter - I add ghee!
I think, the raw flavor was not much pronounced in PBB!!
Saute the palak in a few drops oil in a kaai on low fire. The moisture will evaporate.
Love,
Chihra.

Thanks.

Dear chitramma,
Y'day evening i prepared akki roti and everyone enjoyed it. As i don't have a thin cloth. I prepared it little thin in the pan itself. I pour little oil in the pan and keep a big dough and pat it with hand in the pan itself...
If i don't have a thin cloth, is there a way that i can pat it outside thepan and latter transfering it to the paN.

love..
lakshmi..

dearest chitra mami

today being amavasai, we resorted to jain. i was a little tired so my DH did vendaikai sambar and beans curry. later i made ragi kanji for my fil. kanji seems to actually taste good. cant hav it everyday though. once a while changea irukalamnu thonithu. i am quite tempted by all the fbs here but till Vyas comes back to normal, I may just take it easy. today's lunch i took the leftover mango rice.. really lipsmacking. my DH said, "mami kalaki pottiruka, she is way ahead of her times really, must thk her for making our lives so tasty "
