[Alan]

[Pushpa]

Right now , am longing for hot hot ginger tea and some chilly pakoras .... heaven !!

Hi Red Pepper,
Thanks for replying to my pm. Just saw your blog again and am bowled over by the pizza and esp. the crisp samosa pics. You really feel like reaching out and grabbing one samosa, so delicious it looks.....

But where are the recipes ? You did the samosa with the frozen samosa sheets ?
If possible, please tell me how to make them 'cos I've got a pkt. of 50 sheets in the freezer, but have tried once & got terrible results.

[smangai]

Dosa, sambar, coconut chutney, green chutney and onion chutney with milagapodi on the side - should great taste! :D

Today I want to eat some kerala parota & chicken curry!!!

Pushpa, I am in the process of typing those recipes. :oops: Really difficult with a one year old always clinging to me. Besides its really hard for me to give an Indian recipe since I don't measure anything exactly when I cook Indian. I used egg roll wrap(not frozen) for the samosa cover. I was really craving for samosa, that’s why I took a shortcut. I like it made from the scratch.

I want some glucose biscuits.... haven't seen this after I left India.....almost 9 years now :cry: When I was a schoolkid, I needed this everyday for my afterschool snack.
Wonder if they still have it? Parle-G and all??

[dev]

Dunno Y... I've been craving for so many food for the past 2 days... whatever I eat & howmuch ever I eat I keep feeling hungry... I feel like eating whatever I can get my hands on... Hope to eat a satisfactory meal this weekend so that this craving will go off...

Anybody in Sg like to host me for a meal this weekend...;)

[rain]

Wonder if they still have it? Parle-G and all??

parle-g is alive and kickin :) parle-g and it's not so distant cousin Tiger biscuit is a constant fixture at home. u can find it in some select indian shops here. glucose biscuit dunked in hot tea is still a fav.comfort food or shud i be posting this in Silly Combination :wink:

rain

[kavithasenthil]

no..thats not a silly combination. it comes under common food catogery.

[RedPepper]

Yeah thats a common combination. I love Glucose biscuits dipped in tea or milk. I hate it when it gets too soft and break off into the cup. But I used to do something weird - glucose biscuits dipped in plain water. Sometimes I want to taste it that way without the taste of any milk or tea. I think this would qualify as a silly combination.
I really need some glucose biscuits right now... I am gonna call all the Indians stores around my area. :roll:

[rain]

glucose biscuits dipped in plain water.

:shock: :)


ya,once it breaks off and becomes goey it's ickk---.that's y rusks r more acceptable.wonder if ne one takes it with cofee?


rain

[RedPepper]

I cannot compare rusks with glucose biscuits. Rusk is something my mom used to give me when I was sick. I don't remember having it at any other time. But I liked rusk. Yeah rusk dipped in tea (I am not a coffee fan) is wonderful. Haven't had rusk either for a looooong time. :(

Heard that we will get it in some Indian stores. So I am looking for that.


Red Pepper, you haven't come to India at all after you left ????????????????
Yes I have been to India several times. The vacations were too short and I was so excited and busy seeing my people and enjoying the home made foodies. Totally forgot about glucose biscuits. No one even offered me some. :( :cry:
