i still cannot get over the cone shaped parotta that nov ngov posted.....fab combo of talent & skill ;-)come to Malaysia! :)

[suvai]

Here is a black bean salad that is simple to make :

1 cup black beans..try organic...wash well & drain.. keep aside.
1 medium clove minced...(u need not use if u dont like garlic)
quarter medium red onion thinly sliced ( really thin )......u have to call me to your home if you dont know how to.....:mrgreen:...just kidding.
1Tblsp parsley ( i do not like parsley so i used corriander leaves - pachai kothamalli )
1/2 Tblsp...lemon juice ( not lime green one )
1 & half Tblsp extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper......namaku kaaram pidikumnu i used green chilly instead of black pepper. Use less salt as the black bean will have more than hint of salt.
the following is optional can use if u want :
little feta cheese
3 kalamata olives sliced
1/2 tsp rosemary
these will enhance the flavour for sure....unfortunately i do not remember from where I took this recipe from... but I have a feeling from vegetarian times.....this recipe belongs to a person who cares about diet....& thanks to her or him on our behalf....hope this is okay nga nov .

Dear all, please forgive me for taking such a long leave. A little acrobat boy is just growing bigger and bigger inside me and making me so tired. My due date is August.
My only option now is to study and make use of this idle time. So I am too tired balancing everything.

In January i did make some recipes of K, Madhushree and gulabjamun's mushroom which turned out so good and took pictures I cant find them now. Nowadays eating a lot outside as I am so tired of cooking. So much miss you all and K.

Madhushree your podi kathrikai arumai , we do not add coconut for this but I tried your version and loved it. Sorry for thanking you after such a long time.

[uwitiusoj]

A simple vegetable curry for Aappam:

Today I had this for appam, my mom in law prepared this curry, it looks like sambar, but I bet it is not sambar, or dal. But it tasted delicious with aappam... Yummm...

Ingredients:
Toor dal - 1 cup
Clove - 2
Onion - 2
Assorted veggies - 1 cup
Tomato - 1
Green chillies - 4
Chilli powder - as required, I added about 1 spoon.
Coriander powder - 1 spoon.
Turmeric powder - a pinch
salt - required
Oil - required

To grind to paste:
Cocunut - 1/2 cup

Method:

First cooked, dal with tomato, turmeric powder, salt in a cooker and keep it aside.

In a wok, add oil, add pounded cloves, then add onion, chopped veggies, slit Green chillies. Put salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilli powder.
Mix well and fry for about 2 mins. Then, add little water to let the veggies cook. Mash the cooked dal then add it to the veggies, mix well.
Taste and see if salt is fine or else add more. Grind cocunut to fine paste and add it to the dal + veggies, mix well. Let it boil for about 3 or 4 mins.
Garnish with coriander leaves. Servet it hot with Aappam.

Cardamom Butter Pilaf with Cashews and Raisins


Ingredients:
3½ cups Long grain white basmati rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste (blend ¼ cup ginger with ¼ cup garlic)
3 sprigs onions, chopped
8 whole green cardamom pods, crushed
3 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
½ cup raisins
½ cup cashews
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
4 cups good quality vegetable broth

Preparation:

Wash the rice by gently rubbing it with your fingers in a bowl filled with water. When the water becomes cloudy, drain the water and keep repeating the process until the water is clear. Drain and set the rice aside.

Heat the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the ginger garlic paste, green onions, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, star anise and sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the raisins and cashews and cook until raisins are golden. Add the washed rice and turmeric.

Sauté until the grains turn a little whitish in color, about 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and gently stir for 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and cook without stirring, for 20 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed and the grains are tender and fluffy.

Remove the rice from the heat. Discard the bay leaves and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Serve warm.

yes i did try the kulambu and it was good. liking it this way but was not able to use the entire bunch.

hello all hubby had march april allergy . so all errands on my shoulders incl serving everything in his hands. was too busy and tired of all these. he is better from weekend so enjoyed all these 3 days browsing and watching tv.

pls excuse my uninformed leave.

[uwitiusoj]

dev welcome back to the forum. hope we can expect new recipes from you. i have tried many recipes of yours and mentioned it earlier. dalcha, uppu parupu, brinjal potato curry, arisi parupu sadam, cabbage rice, spicy noodles were tomato is grinded. many sattu idellam gyabagam vandadu. also the links u give for tried and tested recipes.

i think K will be happy to see all of you back.

madhushree unga dal curry innum try panna mudila but its in my memory for long time. try pannadum pic post panren.

[uwitiusoj]

suvai unga bread so tempting. if i dont get gestational diabetes i will surely try. they will test it in few weeks. hoping for the best. :think:

[uwitiusoj]

vegetarians please share how you include the following from food sources. i have mentioned how i do

Vitamin B12

Fermented foods like neer agaram, hope idli also has, curd.

milk and eggs (i eat eggs)

Zinc

Sunflower seeds, nuts like cashews , peanuts have little beans and lentils have only little

Iron

The type of iron vegetarians get is nonheme which is not absorbed readily. it does with the help of vitamin C which we get from fruits. all dark green leafs, raisins, dates, prunes, figs,quinoa have little. seasoning with iron vessels. after doing all this i will always be diagnosed as anemic. which means still these things are not enough.

Protein

Even though our dal, beans have protein in them its always combined with carbs so total calories shoot up also its not helping weight reduction. is it good to eat non fat milk? they say non fat milk are highly processed so that they cud remove fat molecules. tofu also has only 7 grams protein for a serving size. egg just 6 gms with all the fat.

I am vegetarian from child hood but my hubby turned vegetarian for 8 months. he is putting on weight with vegetarian food, hair started falling and getting gray hairs. also white dry patches in legs which one friend (Dr) told is lack of Zinc.

any vegetarians out there who have achieved muscle mass and fat reduction in body? please share your tips. my hubby is diabetic but from type 1 it became type 2 and a year back even without tablets it was normal due to healthy diet with lean meat fish and vege food. now he turned to vegetarian and putting on weight also blood sugar not as balanced as it was before.

comparatively i see a majority of non vegetarians have good hair though there are rare cases.

i know this is not the forum to discuss but since i find many vegetarians over here i thought i will ask.

[Hemant Trivedi]

I want to know what happened to Kugan madam who is daughter inl law of my dear departed sister.

Ginger and Cinnamon are spices for well being found in Malaysian food.
Here are 5 ways to use Ginger and Cinnamon together....

1. Ginger and Cinnamon boil them in water before adding tea leaves

2. Grind Ginger and Cinnamon, saute in the pan before adding pasta sauce...you get a delicious deep flavor in your pasta

3. Saute Ginger and Cinnamon before adding Chicken....your dish will be aromatic and layered with flavors

4. Ginger and Cinnamon ground together makes a delicious spice for cake or pancake batter...you don't need all that sugar use spice

5. Ginger and Cinnamon is delicious in cookies kids love....a healthy version with raisins and nuts ...cut the sugar

Vegetable Burger

Ingredients: (Makes 4)
2 large potatoes; boiled, peeled and mashed,
1 cup boiled peas and carrots (in small pieces),
1-2 cheese cubes,
1 tsp red chilli flakes (paprika),
1/2 tsp dry mixed herbs,
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp fresh and coarse bread crumbs,
Salt and pepper to taste,
Oil or butter for frying.

Method:
Heat oil for frying in a pan (you can choose to deep fry the patties in a wok). Mix together all the other ingredients in a bowl (exclude the 1/2 cup bread crumbs). Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, roll each into a ball and then flatten them a little. Spread the bread crumbs in a flat dish, place each patty onto them, flatten them further by pressing them in the bread crumbs. Flip and coat them well with bread crumbs from the other side as well as the edges. Prepare all the patties in the similar way and then fry them on medium flame till crisp and golden-brown from both the sides.

Serving Suggestions:
1. This patty is ideal for burgers. So get those burger buns, spread mayonnaise, mustard paste, place lettuce leaves, tomato and onion slices, a patty, cover and serve. Since this recipe is not spicy, this could be on your menu for your child’s birthday party.
2. Place this patty in between buttered brown/multigrain bread loaves with lettuce, cucumber-tomato-onion slices and prepare a nice sandwich.
3. Prepare small size patties and serve as appetizers or snacks.

* Pea Protein
* Soya protein

Liquid Protein digest sooner and has a less Carbs to Protein ratio, compared to Solid protein.

2) Ask him to pump iron! Weight training increases your metabolic rate, while resting (sleeping). While Cardio
Only burns calories while you work out. If one loses weight purely by Cardio, once you lose weight. You will get loose skin hanging; hence Weight training is a must to tone up!

3) Ask him to drink 2 litres of water a day

5) ask him to go gym and train at least 5 times a day!

BREAD CUTLET

Ingredients:
2 boiled potatoes
1 green chili (finely chopped)
1 inch ginger piece (chopped)
2 tblsp boiled peas (optional)
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
1/2 tsp dry mange powder
1/2 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp oil
4-5 curry leaves (optional)
Salt to taste
4 slices of bread (remove the brown edges)
Oil for deep frying

Bread Cutlet
How to make bread cutlet Indian style
Remove the skin of the potato and mash it properly.
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a kadai/wok, add mustard seed and curry leaves. When mustard seeds start to splatter add mashed potatoes along with green chili, ginger, boiled peas, red chili powder, garam masla powder, dry mango powder and salt. Mix all the ingredients well and let it cook for 2-3 minute.
When the mixtures gets slightly cold start making small round balls it and keep them aside.
Now take water in the wide bowl and dip a single bread slice into it just enough, that the bread gets wet and then immediately take them out and with a hand press, drain out the excess water from the bread slice.
While still holding the pressed bread slice, place a potato ball in the center of the slice and let it cover the ball evenly. Then with a light hand press the ball flat and smooth out the edges.
Prepare the balls of the remaining bread slices and keep aside
Now heat oil for frying in a heavy bottomed pan, when the oil is smoky hot slow down the heat and fry two bread cutlet at a time. Then on medium flame fry them till golden in color from all sides.
Take them out on the kitchen paper and sprinkle chat masala over it.
Serve hot with green chutney.
Note: 1. Remember to squeeze out all the water from the bread otherwise it will create splatter in the oil.
2. Also ensure that bread ball is closed from all sides. Otherwise the cutlet might break in the oil.
3. You can add some veggies like finely chopped carrot, beans, sweet corn and onion in the potato mixture.
4. You can give any shape to them - oval, ball or heart shaped. You can shallow fry them in a flat tikki form.

2 cups rice flour
1 cup corn flour
1 tablespoon water from limestone paste (sunnaambu)
2 glasses of water and pandan leaves.
1 bowl of ice

Here's how:

1. Put pandan leaves in blender and from that liquid, mix the two types of flour together with the lime water.
2. Place the mixture in a pan and cook over small flame, stirring constantly
3. Fill a basin with ice cubes and squeeze out the mixture using a large murukku press or just create one, using baking paper or tin foil.
4. You can referigerate this and keep it for a few days. Keep the cendol in the original water as it contains lime and will act as a preservative.

No. It's a dessert made from pandan or fragrant pine leaves

Indian Crullers - another of my late mother's innovation.

Ages since I made it until the children started yearning for it. Anyone wants the recipe?
