Hello Mrs.Mano,
Tried potato fry(recent version) and snake gourd III(substituted with zuchini, and they both were really delicious. Though the kootu belongs to a simple version, it went very well with chappathi. I added more milagu and it was so good. Thanks..
And with potato, did not have c.milk. So, ground the other ingredients with coconut. With enna kathirikai kuzhambu, it was simply superb..Thank u once again.
Have a query for you-for karthigai deepam, we are using the agal(man vilaku). I dont know how to remove the oil stains or wash? Do u have any idea? Every year, I am litting the vilaku with the old stain!!
Hoping for a solution from you..Take care, bye

Mrs. Mano,
Very nice to know that you are from Thanjavur...a place known for tamil culture. I am an Iyengar from Mysore. Do you happen to know the recipe for Kadambam? If yes, please let me know. I have been searching for it desparately. Thanks

Dear Uma!
With the ingredients you have mentioned, I can post a sweet with Mung dal[green gram]. But it is called as Mungdal puttu. It is not called as Mung dal halwa. But I am also posting a few recipes of mung dal halwa here.

Mrs.Mano (@ 195.*) on: Thu Nov 18 22:44:03 EST 2004
MUNG DAL PUTTU [PAYATHTHAMPARUPPU PUTTU]:
Soak ¾ cups of green gram in water for 1 hour. Drain the water and grind it coarsely without adding any water. Then steam the ground paste for 15 minutes and then scramble it like breadcrumbs when it is cooled. In ¼ cup of ghee, fry first 2 tbsp of cashew nuts to a golden colour and then fry the green gram on slow fire until it turns like real breadcrumbs and it is fried well. Then add 2 handfuls of shredded coconut and fry for few minutes. Simultaneously, prepare syrup with ¾ cup of jaggery. If you pour a drop of the syrup in water, you should make a soft ball out of the drop. That is the correct consistency. Pour this syrup to the green gram mixture with 1 tsp of cardamom powder and cook for a few more minutes until every thing is combined well.

MUNG DAL HALWA:
Soak 250 ms of green gram in water for an hour and then drain the water. Grind it to a paste. Make thin syrup [kambi paagu] out of 500gms of sugar. Heat a kadai and pour 1 cup of ghee. Add the ground paste and cook on slow fire until it is cooked. Then add the syrup and cook further until the halwa leaves the sides of the vessel. Add fried cashew nuts and almonds. Put off the fire.

Mrs.Mano (@ 195.*) on: Thu Nov 18 22:45:09 EST 2004
ASOKA:
Pressure cook 1 cup of green gram with enough water to 3 whistles. Then mash it finely. Add 2 cups of sugar to it and mix well. Heat a kadai and pour 1 to 1 ½ cups of ghee. Add ½ cup of plain flour and ½ cup of wheat flour to it with 2 tbsp of broken cashew nuts. Fry it on slow fire until a nice aroma fills the air and it changes to a golden colour. Add the green gram mixture and cook until the halwa is well cooked and leaves the sides of the vessel. Mix a pinch of kesar colour in a tbsp of milk and add it with 1 tsp of cardamom powder to the halwa and mix well.

Hello Mano,
Do U know the recipe for the Andhra style dhal served with meals in Andhra restaurents(like Bheemas,Nandhini etc) in Bangalore?...I don't know the name of the dhal...it's usually a mix of dhal & greens or vegetables...I've tried many andhra dhal recipes from the net but am not able to get the taste of the dhal served in those restaurents...I guess they add some masla powder which gives that taste...
& can u post recipes for chats like bhel puri,paanipuri etc... Hmmm...I really miss all those yummy food we used to get in B'lore...

Hi Mrs.Mano,
I tried your recipe of Carrot Halwa in Microwave and it came out simply superb! Thanks so very much for posting such a quick & delicious dish, it really tasted very good.
How do we use condensed milk for making sweets like basandhi, halwas / barfi types etc., on gas stove itself, without using microwave oven? Please can you post such sweets recipes, because my mum doesn't have microwave but is keen on using Milkmaid to do milk burfi/ laddu varieties etc.. Hope you can post, whenever you are free. Sorry for troubling, Also, hope you haven't forgetten my previous doubts on Rasmalai/chicken 65.
Bye, reply leisurely.
Thanks a lot.

Dear Kamakshi!
It is surprising that you couldn’t buy a good coconut scrapper even in Chennai! At Kumbakonam and Thanjavur, you can get good coconut scrappers. If I happen to see a good coconut scrapper here, I will tell you about it immediately.
About Rasamalai- it will be very soft once it is prepared and the size of it will also be doubled once it is simmered in the milk. The quantity of yr cup may vary with the correct quantity. So I have measured the milk powder with my cup’s quantity. It is measured to 100gms of milk powder. So you can measure to 100gms and then try again. There is no need to add either milk or water. Then you can’t get the original taste and also yr preparation may go wrong. It will take just a few minutes to get soft dough. First mix all the ingredients well and then wash yr hand. Then begin to knead the mixture. There will be no uneven surface or cracks.
About chicken 65-keep the marinated chicken in the fridge for some hours. You can mix the ingredients and keep it covered over night. You can immediately fry it when you take it from the fridge. Do not fry for a long time. It will become hard. As you have marinated the chicken for a long time, it will take only a little time to cook. Any the chicken should be fried on medium fire-not a high fire.
Thank a lot for the feedback on carrot halwa. I also like it very much for its delicious taste. I will post some sweet recipes using condensed milk soon!

Dear Kz!
About Urundai kuzhambu- the ground paste of the dals should not be very dry. And also, steamed urundais will be a little harder and not as soft as the ones which we add in the kuzhambu directly.

Hello R!
Thank you very much for the feedback on potato fry and snake gourd koottu-III. And I do not know anything about removing the stains on Man agal vilakku. Usually agal vilakku is bought freshly every year for the use in the native place.

Hello Sandysri!
Yes. Thanjavur is famous for its culture, its beautiful temple and Tamil sangam.
About the recipe “Kadhambam”-I do not have any knowledge of it. I know only a type of variety rice which is called “Kadhamba sadham”.

Dear KH!
I will post the recipe of ‘vegetable briyani’ soon!
