What is the purpose of frying the sooji for uppma? Adds to the taste?

One is to prevent sooji from becoming sticky mass and second is, as you said it correctly, it adds a special flavour.

I don't know what it is called... It usually contains greens but I remember it once had some vegs in it... but the taste was the same... I believe that they add some kind of masala powder to get that taste,same as we add sambar powder to sambar....
Please post the recipe for pappukura & pulusu when time permits... I've tried a few pappukura recipes but nothing matched the taste I'm looking for...
Thanks a lot for the quick reply...:)
Can SoyPaneer be used instead of Paneer as in Shahi Paneer etc?
Hellooooo????? My queries are unanswered?????????????
I've one more query that requires an urgent solution. My mixie is not working but some friends are coming over for dinner. I there any kind of Egg biryani I can make which does not require grinding?
Thanks in advance!
Shoba,
read this tip from angithi.com...
Storing ripe bananas: Banana skin turns black when kept in the refrigerator - to avoid that put the bananas in a black bag and they will come out yellow even after two weeks. I use the ordinary garbage bag.
Ayyoh, serious? Got to try this right now!! Thanks Dev :DQuote:

Alan, my mother makes "ellu podi" which can be mixed with rice or taken with idli/dosa using til.Quote:

Wash and dry black til (white til I guess can be used just like that).
Dry fry till and red chillies (as per requirement) till 'til' starts to crack (like mustard), cool it add a small block of tamarind and salt to it and grind it to a paste....
Alan, I make a kind of biriyani where no grinding is required, but this might not be what you are looking for, here is the recipe anyway...Quote:

Maybe someone else has a better recipe for you, good luck :)
Thanks Anoushka for both the recipes. I'll def try them both & let you know.
Thanks Nichiro...i'll try out the receipe in the link...but please do post the Iyengar puliyodharai receipe too...thanks again.

:))... Upma by itself is an isntant food... Just fry some onions, tomatoes, vegs(optional),chilies etc... add hot water,let it boil & add the rawa... it'll be ready in 5 mins... Y go in for instant upma???!!!
:lol: But cutting up the veggies etc in the morn............................................I feel so lazy sometimes. I hate being a Bachelor when it comes to food. :)
You get frozen veggies these days... cleaned & chopped... :)
Ah! That's my problem _ I hate frozen stuff.
I made Pav Bhaji yesterday evening. It was not so good. Shakthi Pav Bhaji Masala is horrible. Its not powdered well. And it stuck to my throat. :-(
try Everest Pav Baji Masala...its The Best...
Is it, really? Thanks sk.
For north Indian masalas(garam masala, channa masala, pav bhaji etc etc) always try north Indian brands... For south Indian masalas(sambar powder,rasam powder, etc) always go in for south Indian brands... & even region wise it varies... for ex, i don't like MTR sambar powder... I always buy tamilnadu brands or kerala brand... & bisibele bhat... always karnataka brand...like iyenger(best bisibelebhat masala I've ever tried) ,MTR.... garam masala is MDH or everest... Even pakistani masalas are good in case U don't get the north Indian brands...
If U don't like frozen vegs, chop all the vegs(for a week) on a weekend(if U can find time) & keep in in the fridge in ziplock bags or airtight containers...even the potatoes, I chop it & put it in a bowl of water & keep refridgerated...keeps good for a week... Dhals, I soak it & sprout the few that can be sprouted,keep refrigerated... I generally use it within 4-5 days...
Thanks dEv, that was a very useful tip about masala powders. I had never thought of it that way.
Wow! Ur int'd in cooking huh?? :shock: :DQuote:

However, after being back I've been dependant on my mom (altho I do cook whenever she goes out of town) :)
Well, since I have no other choice, I have to cook, LS. I can have hotel food once in a while but if I have it everyday, it gives my tummy troubles. And I am kind of paranoid about health & hygeine! LOL!
Yes, Aloo is a very flexible vegetable. A chef's delight! U can bake it, fry it ,boil it & mash it, add it to upma, masala stuffing, parathas, koftas, take it with rice, puris, chappatis anything .
I love Aloo.
So am I! :DQuote:

Me too......and so does my sister! Only I heard tat it tends to make u fat (or maybe only when u fry it/cook it oily?) & even gives u constipation.....! :?Quote:

I love Aloo.
Potato is full of starch but if u have the right amt of exercise, aloo won't make u fat.
I love Masala Dosas! I go at least once in 10 days to Sri Balaji Restaurant in Delhi for their exclusive Dosas esp Masala Dosas.
