I love this Turkish sweet called Baklava- somewhat like our Halwa....... :P

[tfmlover]

Baklava is more of layers stuff pastry kind
our halva solid

[Anoushka]

Baklava is nice so is Tiramisu :) Tfm you are right, Baklava has layers of pastry!

I like noodles too, but I don't use Maggi type two minute noodles... I stir fry all veggies (red/green capsicum, mushroom, carrot, beans, peas, corn, onion, ginger, garlic, chillies) separately, boil noodles (generally rice noodles or egg noodles) separately and then mix the two on a wok and fry them with a tiny bit of soy sauce, malt vinegar and tomato ketch up .... mmmm... yum :)

hi anoushka,

i like noodles too esp the chowmein variety :P . but i don't know which brand is the best and easiest to make at home.there are so many varieties here in US......it's tough! and can i use the italian pasta(like angel hair)for cooking the chinese style?will be glad,anoushka,if u can suggest some typical kind of noodles and the method how to cook them.thanks in advance,

rain

c the below link for noodles..

[tfmlover]

noodles many types depending thikns too
meaning chow mein(fried)(hokkien)/lo mein(tossed)/rice noods( vermcli)
genenerly veges meat stir fried then noodles added
(italian spgetti noodles wont taste the same..its meant for meat sauce pasta dishes )
then again the cooking type..Cantonese, Mandarin ? or Szechaun?
try any chines mein, filipino -pancit, indonisian mie ,japnse-menrui korean -myun , malaysiam -mee ,thai /viatmse -mi..these are widely available

[tfmlover]

forgot to tell this
even typical italian noodles are not same spaghetti regulr
then again capellini made with duram wheat, linguine is flattened spaghetti .
thanks

I've been wondering why we do not have a thread like that where hubbers can state what their fav food is & give its recipe. You could also narrate an interesting anecdote that you associate with a particular food.

I hope everyone will like this new thread.

To start with, I love this golden brown South Indian snack called "Parippu Vada" - its so yummy! When I was working in Madras/Chennai for a while, my landlady, a good old Tamil Brahmin lady ( Mrs Vedavalli ) used to make Parippu Vadas for tea. I was a paying guest. And when I said I was having these for the first time & loved them, she made them often. Though she used to take money for the other food items, Parippu Vadas were absolutely free!

I haven't had such yummy Parippu vadas since I left Chennai in 2002!

Well, as for my fav. food.......um.....depends on my mood but yes, its always Indian (& veg.)! :wink: :D
Altho my 'standard' meal choice is curd rice w/ a nice curry (of a veg. tat I like) and sum spicy South-Indian pickle (tats a must!!).......
Or if ever there's no pickle around, I pick out the red chillies from the curry/sambhar & squeeze out the juice from them to mix in the rice.......! :)
And yes, for snacks plain Dosa /w tomato 'chutney' (altho made like a curry!).....
Btw, sorry for the digres'n but Alan, were u staying at Tambaram Sanitorium when u were in Madras?? 'cos a relative of mine (mom's cousin) by the same name (Vedavalli) lives there......

[Alan]

No, LS, I was staying near Egmore Railway Station. Do u know that area?

[Lambretta]

No, LS, I was staying near Egmore Railway Station. Do u know that area?
I do know it as we once took a train from there but donno ne-one staying in tat area....:)
Btw, since u lived in Madras, did u try getting habituated to coffee or r u still stuck on chai & lassi?? :wink:

[Alan]

U sure know the tastes of a Punjabi Munda! LOL!

Well, it all depends on my mood & the time of the day. I like tea in the morning, lassi ( not very particular) at midmorning. I even like the South Indian version of the same, Sambaaram ( but not too spicy). I like Bru as well as Filter Coffee in the evenings /nightesp when I do some writing!

[Lambretta]

U sure know the tastes of a Punjabi Munda! LOL!
Yup, I had a couple of punjabi sikh friends for a while 2 yrs ago, when I was in Singapore (one of them got into modelling & became Mr. Punjab, on returning to Ind. in '03).....also used to go w/ them to a Gurudwara there to eat very often.....
I might add for the mods. tat 'Munda' is actually punjabi for boy, not ne offensive word (unlike in South langs., esp. Telugu where it means widow!) :)


I like Bru as well as Filter Coffee in the evenings /nightesp when I do some writing!
I stopped taking coffee at night when I was told tat it prevents u from sleeping at tat time.....!
My father wud readily take it netime tho! :)

[Alan]

Munda in Telugu means widow? Wow man! That's gross!

[Lambretta]

Munda in Telugu means widow? Wow man! That's gross!
Yea.......gross esp. since its used more commonly as a curse word/abusive insult for women! :x (Tamil = Mundai)
Neways, not very pleasant stuff to talk abt, moreover causing a digression here........so we'll cut it here! :)
