It's very nice and great to see the step by step pictures. As I'm not Indian and love Indian food it's important for me to see the pictures to have an idea how the dish has to be.
keep up the good work and hope your thread becomes a sticky one.

shreya

Hello Shreya

It is different from tamarind. You should be able to find it at any Indian grocery store, probably in the same aisle they keep tamarind. Kokum looks similar to kodampuli, but it is different. I have posted a picture of kodampuli in my blog. Please check it out, you will get an idea of how it look like.

[VK Narayanan]

We cooked prawns curry and chicken kurma yesterday. Recipe details and pictures posted in my blog.

[shreya23]

hi red pepper
thanks for the explanation. will look out for it during my next visit to the indian grocery store.
shreya

[shreya23]

just wanted to add this that all along i thought that they were one & the same & i had been using tamarind in recipes calling for kodumpuli :(

[Thattai]

Dear Shreya,

I just came across this thread today and visited your blog. The pictures and recipes both look yummy, and I will try them as and when possible. In the meanwhile, there are quite a few items of which there are pictures, but no recipes (eg: Christmas lunch items or nei obattu or aloo parathas etc).

Would really be great if you would post recipes for all the items that u have picturised as they all look (and sound) REALLY yummy, and I'm sure everybody at home would love to try them.

Looking fwd to ur posting more recipes.

Thanks,

Thattai

[RedPepper]

hai Red Pepper,
can u please post the receipe for green peas with tofu.thanks in advance.bye.

Sorry cynthia_a02, I missed this post.
That is just the green peas masala with toasted tofu added during the final stage of cooking.
Here is the recipe in brief: Heat oil in a pan, and saute in this order. First onion, when they turn golden, add garlic-ginger-green chilli. Then masala powders- chilli, turmeric, coriander and garam masala. (I added 1/2 tsp of corn flour along with the masala powders to get the gravy thick. :roll: ) After frying the masala powders for a couple of minutes, you may add tomatoes and then cooked green peas. Boil until you get the right consistency. Toast the tofu cubes and add to the curry and cook 5 more minutes.

[cynthia_a02]

hai red pepper,
thanks a lot for ur receipe.i'm having a tofu packet and don't know what to do with.i'll try this out.thanks again.bye take care.

Awww Cynthia, that was the first and last package of tofu I have ever bought. I have been longing to incorporate tofu into our diet after knowing its health benefits. But I didn’t like it very much because it tasted just bland. I think I should buy another pack and try different recipes. I am guessing maybe if I marinate the tofu cubes with masalas for a few hours before using it, it might absorb the flavors and wouldn’t taste that bland? Do you have any idea?[/tscii:d1e903e86c]

Hi Red pepper
Yes.. you are right...marinating tofu in masalas/soysauce will enhance it's taste.. :)
here is a recipe I tried and liked very much..
I am sorry I don't remember the source though :oops:

Regards
Sowmya :)

Spicy Tofu Sambal (Malaysian)

Ingredients

1 pack of firm Tofu (Drain and cut into 1/4" by 1" by 1" square pieces)
2 large Tomatoes (chopped)
2 large Onions (sliced thinly)
1 clove of Garlic (chopped)
1/2" piece of Ginger (chopped)
1/2 cup of Cilantro (chopped for garnish)
1/2 cup of light Soya Sauce (optional)
3 tsps of Sambal Oelek or soak 6 to 10 red chillies and grind them to a wet
paste)
2 tsps Tomato Puree
2 tsps of Sugar
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Water

Method:


Marinate the cut tofu pieces in the soy sauce for 30 minutes. Heat a pan and add enough oil to cover the bottom.
Fry the tofu on all sides until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
Use the same oil to fry the garlic, ginger, onions, red chilli paste until the oil comes to the surface or until it smells fragrant.
Add the tomato puree and the tomatoes. Add salt to taste. Cook until it is a smooth gravy and add water, if it thickens too much or sticks to the pan.
Add the sugar which will caramelize and make the gravy a dark red. Add the tofu pieces to the gravy and stir well before you garnish with cilantro.
Dish it out and have it warm with the Sayur Lodeh and steamed white rice.

[rain]

lot of these Thai restaurents too seem to use tofu a lot.we really liked one dish made of tofu,pumpkin, zucchini and greenbeans in a coconut curry and the fried tofu had absorbed the coconut very well.that's also a good combination.

rain
