    My mother was a working woman and so am I. During her old age she would try these recipes and I would back home at aroun 9.30 p.m. only to eat them. Even If i wished I had no time to sit and and learn from her. Luckily I have learnt to cook, still exhorbitant recepies are a miles far away from me, but, I am interested.

    On Sundays, I would take up the cleaning of the house. changing drapes, washing the kitchen etc.. and cook for the entire family, try out recipes from punjab, rajasthan etc.. They would come out delicious.That way I was giving my mom a break, she would still come to make rotis etc.. Mom is Mom you know..... Maids in Mumbai are queens. They do only certain jobs and walk away. No amount of money can make you do the extra work.

    But, I am determined to learn and experiment. Since I live alone, even if I mess nobody will know.... Yes,I will be honest to tell you. Like I told Chitvish that I messed up with the Idli maav......... :oops:

    Thiratu pal (2)

    Ingredients:

    1 tin Milk maid

    1 sp curd

    Method:

    This is the easiest method to prepare 'Threatu pal'.

    Open the tin and pour it in a microwave vessel.

    Add curd and mix well.

    Keep it in the oven and keep it in high and keep it for 2 min.

    REmove and mix well. Again keep it for 2 more min.

    Remove and mix, again keep it for 1 more min.

    Remove and mix well. Check thickness and store.

    In this type also you will get a very good pink colour.

    Pal Payasam

    From these three you can select any one and do for Krishna Jayanthi.

    Ingredients:

    1 lt full cream milk

    400 gms sugar

    2 tsp crushed cashew nuts (optional)

    2 tsp 'sarai parapu' (i dont know in English:tongue )

    2 - 4 table spoon rice (wash and dry and keep it ready)

    2 - 4 sp ghee

    saffron strings

    Method:

    Pour 2 sp ghee in a pan and fry rice. Add half milk and water.

    Cook the rice in that and allow the milk to reduce.

    Keep the flame less. Have an eye on that.

    When the rice mashed and cooked well add the rest of the milk and again allow it to reduce.

    When it starts thick, add sugar and mix well.

    It will become light pink or cream in colour.

    Remove it from the fire and add fried 'sarai parrapu' in that.


    Note: generally we add only 'sarai parrapu' for 'pal payasam' but if you want you can add cashew, kismis, 'pachai karpuram' or cardamom powder as per your taste.

    You can add jaggery instead of sugar. (old people / aacharamana people wont use sugar even now a days)

    Instead of adding the 1/2 lt milk again with the cooked rice, you can add 'evoprorated milk' or 'milk maid' to reduce the time and increase the taste. But be careful when you are going to add 'milk maid' because it is sweetned already.
