Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies

Dear Noodles!

Here are the pressure-cooking tips for the following ingredients that you have requested.
Boiled rice[ponni variety]- 2 1/2 cups to 3 cups of water to a cup of rice. The measurement will differ according to the type of the rice. Soak the rice in water for 1/2 hour and then Cook for 7 whistles.
Raw rice [ponni varaity]: 2 to 2 1/2 cups of water to a cup of rice. Soak the rice for 15 minutes and cook for 6 whistles.
For dal varieties and meat, you can pour the water one inch higher to the surface level. For potato, you can cut the potato into two pieces, place them on a flat tray and pressure cook for 5 whistles.

Hi Mrs. Mano,

I have finally got the recipe and tried it this weekend. It tasted very good. Just that the murukkus turned a little dark. The ones that aunty had made were light orange, but still very crisp. Can u tell me the right time to take out the murukkus from oil. I thought that they will not be crisp and eneded up frying them till they became dark orange.

I am quoting Aunty's reipe as it is...
