Dev, since the flour is roasted, just add boiling milk and sugar.
I have seen my granny making this healthy drink.
Take care, Kugan98

Interesting recipes K... I made the ragi drink using huri hittu for the lil one n she drank it without a fuss... :)
Do u have a recipe for samosa using a dry dhal filling.... the filling is like kachori filling... These kind of samosa keeps well for a few days(3-4 days) on the counter...
Roshan, I read the following tip on sanjeevkapoor.com...maybe u can try it for curry leaves...
"To keep herbs fresh; put them in a plastic bag, blow air into the bag as if it were a balloon and seal it tight."
Suvai, thanks for your nice post.
Fresh sprouted moong dal is added for health.
The taste was nice and crunchy.
Thanks for all the nice recipes.
I will try them and post with pictures.
Thanks for keeping me company.
Take care, Kugan98
Dev, very glad that your little one enjoyed the drink.
So you will be happy with your trip.
Its nice, even if you add little cardamom powder, make the mixture a bit thick like sweet kali.
Your daughter would not like it. Its o.k for grown up people.
Dev, I have the recipe for the dry filling in my old file.
I will look up and post soon for you.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98
I sa another huri hittu with nuts n cardamom added to it... I'll try that aswell... yes, I am so relieved...:)
Take ur time K... avasaram illa... also, if u have some recipes that will be good for travel,pls do post it... Though we have fed her with restaurant food once in a while, I'm not sure how well she'll adjust to it for 3 whole days...
I guess adding some chaat masala to the pomegranate raita will add an extra kick to the dish...:think:

Happy Birthday PS!!
Hello nga kugan.....the chilli recipe is similar to what i make....dev....ithai dosai/idly ku thottuka summa attakaasamaa irukum.... :mrgreen: It also stays or about 10 days...;-)
Hi PS
Wish you many many many happy returns of the day. Have a great birthday !!!!
Hi Dev,
Not so kaaram chillies !! Nice, I just remember what my neighbour maami used to do.
This is called koratti but I dont know how this name relates to the dish.
You decide the quantity now (K can help)
Green chillies without stalk
salt
oil
perungayam
lemon juice or tamrind (very little)
Wash the chillies and wipe them dry and put raw in a mixie, add salt, tamrind, and perungayam and grind to a paste.
If you do not add tamrind, add lemon juice after grinding.
Transfer to a container and add little oil.
Thats all. This is a super side dish for dosai and curd rice.
