9. Amitha - October 7, 2008

Hello,

thanks for all the rice recipes. wanted to know which brand of garam masala powder you used for vegetable kurma. there are a lot of brands available in the market and each one tastes different and due to it the taste of the dish changes considerably.

10. prathibalrao - October 7, 2008

Hi Amitha,
I powder the garam masala items at home and i use that powder only. If needed i will put up the G.Masala powder recipe shortly.

11. Sripriya - October 8, 2008

Hi Prathiba aunty

13. Rita - October 15, 2008

Hello Aunty,

When mentioning the qty of ingredients could you please post the quantities in cups/pounds instead of in grams (for ex in gram rava laddoo). Here in US it is very difficult to convert grams into ounces since most of the measuring cups have only ounces. The best ways is to mention in standard measuring cups. Thanks in advance

14. prathibalrao - October 15, 2008

Hi Rita,

I think i am following the mehod of mentioning the ingredients in cups since june2008. For which recipe do you want me to mention the measurement right now? I will help u out.

15. Rita - October 16, 2008

Hello,

Most of the recipes from last year like Besan-Atta-Rava laddu, Rava Idli, Peanut chikki etc.

16. prathibalrao - October 16, 2008

26. Vidya Pai - November 9, 2008

Hi Prathib Mai,

In your Recipe Type, could you add a category for ‘Konkani’ recipes. I usually search for Konkani recipes. It would be easy to look up some authentic konakni recipe, through a category just for it.

Thanks,

Vidya
Singapore

27. prathibalrao - November 9, 2008

Hi Vidya,

I would surely add up as you suggested.

28. Rajani Rayudu - November 14, 2008

Hi Prathibal,

Recently discovered your blog, the moment I saw I can’t stop reading your blog. Nice recipes from Karnataka, keep up the good work in sharing with all of us.

My request would be your coconut chutney I see in lot of pictures your bright green coconut chutney, can you please share it with us with tips in buying coconut too.

I have linked you in my blog.

cheers
rajani

29. prathibalrao - November 15, 2008

Hi Rajani,

I normally don’t Tamarind in any of the chutneys. I only add Bilimbi to it instead. The reason being that it is a tangy vegetabble used here in down south in most of the houses. But in the rainy season i do use Tamarind itself. The coconut is from my garden. To buy you make sure it should be neither too ripe nor too tender. Add fresh green chily and also cilantro. Also Curry leaves is from my garden , hence the freshness and the colour.

30. ashwini - December 9, 2008

Hello Mrs Rao….

Would be great if you could post recipes of Atras(Anarasa, in Marathi) and Patti laddoo(thin chapatis of maida crumbled and bound into laddoos with sugar syrup)…Still remember relishing these delicacies made by my grandma when I was a child..Unfortunately the next generation has not been very successful in keeping up with her culinary skills :-) …thanks…

31. Mohan - December 16, 2008

Hi Pratibhaji,
Can you post the exact procedure of making the soft rice modaks. I tried a couple of times from the recipe of other sites. But somehow, the modaks become hard.

Hi Mohan,

33. suba - December 19, 2008

namaste madam

i am suba from singapore. is the katsambar rice in kannada is same as rosematta rice of kerala. can u pl enlighten me . i am using rosematta rice every day for lunch.

can u pl post the recipes for sambar powder

than you

regards

suba

34. prathibalrao - December 19, 2008

Hi Suba,

The rice is actually not similar to that of the one which u use for ur everyday lunch. This particular rice is ofwhite in colour and not the rosematta rice. It is par-boilde rice as it is called in Bangalore. It is not the red boiled rice. I hope i am clear. I will post sambar recipe soon.

35. suba - December 21, 2008

namaste madam

thanks for ur reply. i have once more doubt, in singapore we usually get the thai brend fresh crop long grain rice. i prepared dosa using the rice but he dosa is very sticky, can u pl enlighten me how to use the fresh crop rice for cooking .

regards

suba

36. prathibalrao - December 22, 2008

Hi Suba,

Always new rice from fresh crop turns rice to sticky. The solution for the same buy old(last year’s) rice or if not available please cook it with 1 cup rice with 1 cup water only or even less. It is only trial and error method. For old rice we add 1 for 2 or 3 cups of water for 1 cup rice. For the dosa to turn out sticky may be dal is also not of a good quality or the batter would have turned watery.

37. suba - December 26, 2008

namaste

i want to prepare instant lime pickle, which is usually done in south indian marriage. can u pl tell me the method .

Do you know to recipe of homemeade tomato jam? My mother used to make it. But now she has forgotten the tomato-sugar proportion. Would be great if you can help me out on this. We can’t get ready made tomato jam, have to make at home. Meanwhile, I’ll try your tomato burfi, probably its taste is somewhat like the jam I’m craving.

52. prathibalrao - April 14, 2009

Hi Suba,

Thanx for ur comments. But sorry for the delay.

53. suparna nayak - April 17, 2009

Hi,could you please post the recepies for daal fry and any north indian dishes..

54. prathibalrao - April 17, 2009

Hi Suparna ,

Please refer to my post dated 27/09/2008, under the category North indian dishes. You can find it there. Prepare it and lemme know.

55. suparna nayak - April 23, 2009

hi aunty,
Thank you.i willtry it and surely let u kne.i tried ur recipe for almond burfi and i had just one small problem tat was the burfi mix became a bit powder like so i cldnt exactly cut it into pieces like a burfi should be cut.could u plz tell me y it bcame like that? otherwise it was just great.Thanks for this easy recipe.also i wanted 2 knw if kaju burfi is prepared in the same manner?

56. prathibalrao - April 23, 2009

Hi Suparna,

The reason for the burfi to powder would be either the Almonds are old or it is over done. If the Almonds are old use 2 Teaspoons of more ghee when it is about to be done.

57. Dinkar - April 26, 2009

Just a comment – the Recipe index does not seem to show the complete list for me (the ones you posted in April 2009 dont seem to show up)… Does anyone else the problem?
