Hi,


Can anyone post a recipe of dalia cooked with water and milk for my 15 month old baby? I mean can i microwave godumai ravai or dalia similar to oats? Please let me know.


Thanks,
Rukmani.

Hi Rukmani,

Dalia( broken wheat ) is like rice. You can cook it in the microwave but it will take about 20 minutes. Better to pressure cook it. The proportion to use will be 1 cup dalia to 2 to 2/12 cups of water. Pressure cook for 3 whistles. The softer the better for you todler. It will come out just like rice. Once cooked, you can add milk , sugar and then a little elakkai for flavor( optional) . You can give it as is if your kid likes the grainy texture. otherwise i would recomend mashing the cooked dalia in a mixer to make it smooth and then mix with milkand sugar. Hope this helps

hi all,
can somebody tell me how can i make and preserve puree from mangoes and for how long ? txs in advance.

Select ripe mangoes. Cut into segments. Scoop out the pulp as close to the skin as possible. Liquidise thoroughly. Freeze in boxes. I always do this - preserves well.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

sweet mam,
txs a million. u r always there whenever i am in problem . i always get quick reply frm u . u r realy sweet and helpful . god will always bless u . one more question how long i can keep this in the freezer and any specific method or box for this . and how can i use it i mean once i will freeze it the ice crystals will come so i hv to wait to melt ice ?

I freeze it in usual airtight freezer ( plastic) boxes.
Ice will not form. Previous day tranfer from freezer, lower down, to the fridge. Take it out & thaw for 2-3 hrs before using. I use this for puddings, mangola & other kuzambus.
Love & regards,
Chithra.

sweet mam,

Hello,

I'm new here, and I'm looking for help. I'm a university student in Texas, and I have a professor who says that it is impossible to make brussels sprouts so that she will eat them. Just a few minutes earlier, she had made the statement that Indian food is the best food in the world, so I raised my hand and asked, "What about Brussels Sprouts Vindaloo?" I know that there is probably no such dish, but she said that that might be a way to make them taste good. So, what I'm wondering, does anybody have any good recipes where I can make a curry, or some other Indian dish, out of brussels sprouts?

Thanks,

Ethan Muse (no, I'm not Indian, nor am I a lady...just needing a recipe).
