    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.

    prathibalrao responded:

    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

    prathibalrao responded:
    October 15, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    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.

    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.

    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

    prathibalrao responded:
    November 15, 2008 at 4:43 am

    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.

    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.

    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

    prathibalrao responded:
    December 22, 2008 at 1:47 am

    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.

    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.

      Sorry for the delayed reply. Actually I was unaware of recipes using alsi, and only recently came to know of them and tried and tested some. I have put up Alsi Chutney Powder now, and hope to put up the recipe for alsi laddoos soon. I realize that they are very nutritious and healthy, so greater the incentive to use them.

    prathibalrao responded:
    April 23, 2009 at 11:58 am

    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.

        Hi Prathiba

        There is no other name for it 🙂 It is a popular Goan Xmas sweet…made with flour, eggs, coconut milk. Small balls of dough are flattened and rolled on a fork (or kulkul form) to get the spiral effect and then deep fried.

      Bombay sujee is the normal upma sujee. It is called by different names in different places like we call it Bombay sujee and in Bangalore-Mysore people call it local sujee. We also have another sujee which is Kesari sujee and we call it by the name Bansi sujee(wheat sujee which is yellow in colour) Any way i have shown it in the pictorial of “Oat idly” no, i hope i am clear.

    Hello Aunty!

    Just wanted to thank you on the fabulous blog you have put together! Extremely useful for Mangalorean students like me who are out of their hometown for studies. I came across your blog when I was searching for an orientation on the different type of dals. Could you please put up a small orientation about the different types of masalas that are commonly used in your recipes.

    Thank you

    Hello! we are hoping you can help us – My daughter just studied India in her 6th grade Social studies class, and they are looking to create an Indian feast this coming Friday. Do you know of any quick, easy recipes for Indian food – I’m thinking maybe Indian street food, that can be made ahead and brought to class? We’re already planning to bring in a chai tea drink, but need something else –
    Thank you so much in advance!!

      Hi Karen

      Hope Prathiba doesn’t mind me butting in like this 🙂 Some ideas: at the local Indian Grocery store you can pick up prepackaged Indian snacks – they should be able to tell you which ones are not spicy. They would also be able to tell you where you can pick up ‘Samosas’ which are always a hit in N.America. Also ask about Indian ‘Mithai’, i.e. sweets/desserts that are bite sized (like petit fours) – one suggestion is ‘boondi ladoo’.

      Hope this helps

      Brenda

    Hi Ma,
    This is not really a recipe request. As I am getting introduced to Konkani cooking, I hear all these names being bandied about – Bhuthi, Sukkhe, Sagle, Gashi, and the like. Is it possible for you to put up a post detailing the attributes of these dishes and the differences between them. I believe it has something to do with coriander seeds, methi seeds (fenugreek) and other ingredients in the masala. Will really look forward to a note from you about this.

      prathibalrao responded:
      March 4, 2011 at 12:04 pm

      Hi Haru dear,

      For Ambat – Ingredients of Wet Masala : Fresh grated coconut, Red chilly, Tamarind(a pinch)or Bilimbi, Turmeric powder (south canara style) an addition of coriander seeds fried in oil to be added to the masala(north casnara style)

      For Bhuthi – Ingredients of Wet Masala : Fresh grated coconut, Tamarind or (Bilimbi)and Raw coriander seeds and Turmeric powder, Red chilly,

      For Sagle – ingredients of Wet Masala: Fresh grated coconut, Turmeric powder, Red chilly, coriander seeds and and few Fenugreek seeds(fried in oil), Tamarind or Bilimbi

      For Sukkhe – Ingredients of Wet masala : Fresh grated coconut, Tamarind or Bilimbi, Turmeric powder, coriander seeds and fried Black gram dal(fried in oil)

      For Ghashi : Ingredients of wet Masala: Fresh grated coconut, Turmweic power, Tamarind or Bilimbi and Season it with Mustard seeds, Fenugreek seeds(say 5in number) and curry leaves.or onmion seasoning.

      For Kodhel: Ingredients of Wet masala : Fresh grated coconut, more of Red chilli, Tamarind and turmeric powder. Seasoning with Garlic will be a better option. This dish is always spicy(A monsoon delight)

      Harini i hope i have made you clear and if any doubt please lemme know and i will surely clarify.

    Hi

    Years ago in England, I used to frequent an excellent Indian restaurant that served, as a house specialty, a chicken dish called murug surur. ‘Murug’ referred to the chicken, I guess, and I believe that the word ‘suroor’ means something along the lines of passion, and true to it’s word I absolutely adored it! But try as I might, I’ve never tracked down the recipe. Can you help, or is this perhaps an individual chef’s secret?

      prathibalrao responded:
      July 6, 2011 at 8:06 am

      Hello Andrew,

      Murg refers to chicken and that’s all I can offer. I am a vegetarian and my repertoire only includes vegetarian dishes. There are many other websites on Indian non-vegetarian cooking, I’m sure you’ll find something close to your favourite craving.

    Hi Prathiba

    On another site (Ayi’s recipes) you had given this hint for ‘Neer Dosa’: “i would like to share a hint to make crispy, pearly neer dosa with all. If you add a handful of sabudana (sabakki) to rice while grinding, you can make tasty, pearly dosa” Can you please clarify – do you soak the sabudana with the rice or just add it to the presoaked rice before grinding.

    Thanks
    Brenda

    The latter are influenced by the location’s proneness to natural alamities
    along with statistics regarding incidences of car thefts and accidents.
    Lands & Homes, services has a wide experience of Properties in karwar, you Want to acquire or sell.
    Real estate wholesaling is actually bargain hunting.

    Buyer agent: buyer agent is really a person who acts on behalf with
    the buyer who wants to buy. Have some othner questions about the benefits of buying investment property.

    Will my career actually require a positive turn when all has been said and done.

    While some pockets of the country remained stable and even grew
    a bit, most areas saw home values plummet just like a rock dropped from roof.
    I strongly suggest applying the 6 P’s to all real estate agents in a
    economy along with any market. Appreciation – this concept
    signifies that real estate values increase as time
    passes. A further advantage from the CRM software could possibly be that
    it can assist real-estate experts manage and also
    understand these need for his or her valued clientele
    plus thus boosts the advantage.
