Hi Mrs.Mano,
iam looking for a recipe thats a main accompaniment of mutton biriyani made by muslims. the main ingriedient is brinjal and I think mustard plays a predominant role in imparting a slightly bitter flavor to this gravyish side dish...some one told me the name is "kathrika kattah"... some even suggested bhagara baingan..i tried the recipe; it was good but not exactly the same. I donno how to explain but if you go to triplicane or the area near mosques in luz church Road /Kutchery Road in Madras there are many biriyani shops and they serve it with this side dish. Hope you can help me out with the recipe.
The recipes have been posted to ruby7girl@yahoo.com, itskals@yahoo.com, a_gopinathan@yahoo.com.
Thanks,
Sangeetha.
Dear Mrs.Mano

I urge fellow hubber to give this dish a try.

Dear Mrs. Mano,
Could you please post the recipe of 'Plum Cake'. The cake I'm talking abt is a dark brown, rich fruit cake with a lot of nuts, cherries and raisins in it. (not really sure abt plums :roll: ) It is available in most bakeries in Karnataka. I used to love it as a kid ( and I still like it now). I have searched for this cake recipe in a lot of baking books, but none seem to have the rich brown colour.
Appreciate it if you could help me on this.
Regards,
tomato.
Hello Nichiro!

who wish to have them.
Hello Ruby!
Thank you very much for the encouragement. You can see the links above for my recipes.
Hello Sangeetha!
As Kavitha Senthil informed, the ENNAI KATHTHARIKKAI CURRY is a fine accompaniment for the varieties of briyanis. I learnt this recipe from a muslim friend some 25 years back. This recipe is in my recipes collection.
Dear Sowmya!

Dear Tomato!
Thanks a lot for the feedback on microwave potato fry. Usually roast varieties can be cooked very nicely in microwave oven only. You can get 100% results on some sweet preparations also.
About the plum cake- it is the Christmas cake which has all the ingredients you have said. Normally, the plum cake does not have plums in it. If you wish to go for a try on Christmas cake, I can post a very good recipe on it.
Dear Nichiro
Thank u so much got the collection. Thank u Mrs. Manoo for nice work...Keep it up. I tried Gajar Ka Halwa in Microwave turned out very very nice and its very easy to make before this i never tried to cook in microwave but ur one recipie encouraged me to learn to cook in microwave..thank u so much...
I have question for Mrs.Manoo or anybody who knows about this.."Is it safe to cook in Microwave"
Thanks and greeting of love to all
BKJigna
Hi friends,
Even our family, have stopped using microwave for nearly a year now, because food cooked in it absorbs the radiation, and is extremely unhealthy ! We can even taste that the coffee/tea made in gas is more tastier; Even when steaming vegetables, you can taste the difference. The microwaves rapidly absorb the moisture in the food, leaving it very dry [maybe that's why the roasts come out very well ] and also destroying the nutrients. To also reheat the samosas / patties/ rolls etc. which sometimes we buy from shops for evening snacks, I DON'T use the microwave, only the pan on the stove.
If there was absolutely nothing harmful and it was very safe , then why has a whole nation [Russia] completely banned it? They call them 'Radiation Ovens' , by the way. After reading countless such articles on different sites, magazines, we are not at all convinced that microwaves are harmless . Even a couple of my neighbours have sold their micro. ovens, and are not regretting because they haven't lost anything beneficial to health !! The only merit in using these ovens, was the time-saved, but just a few minutes more to cook tastier / with natural flavours and goodness, is anyday preferrable. Just try not microwaving anything for a week, and you'll feel the difference.
Cheers,
Urmila.
Dear Mrs.Mano
Thanks a lot for your prompt response.Will try Pvakai podimas soon.

Hello Mrs.Mano,
Can you pls post the recipe for the "christmas cake". I am so eager to try it. I just love those christmas cakes.
Thanks In advance,
Uma
Yes Mrs. mano please post the recipe of the christsmas cake u have. Would like to give it a try.
Just a consern though: In case brandy or rum is one of the ingredients can you pls give a sustitute for it. I have some reserves for using brandy or rum. Read in a book on baking that apricot juice could be used instead of rum, do u think it is a good idea?
Thanx in advance.
Hi Tomato,
If I can reply for Mrs. Mano
You can try RUM ESSENCE or BRANDY ESSENCE.
I remember to have seen the essences in Madras.
Thank You Nichiro. But I doubt if I'll get these essences here in Singapore. I'm sure people will go for the real stuff here and not bother with the essence. :wink:
And logically speaking I shopuldn't really mind using rum/brandy since I don't mind devouring the bakery cake. But the thing is it would be a bit embarrassing to buy brandy/rum. Also I more prob is what do I do with the remaining in case I do go and buy? (Gulp it down on a friday night? :lol: :lol: :lol: )
Hello Mrs.Mano,
I was reading about health portion in a magazine and they have mentioned a word called "sotrupai". Can you explain what is it?
Thanks and Bye.
Dear Mrs.Mano,
Can we try your recipe for microwave carrot halwa and paalgova on the gas stove itself, and get the same excellent results ? Should some extra ingredient be added or any other alternative is there to get the same great taste, without using microwave ?
Respond at leisure, no hurry. Thanks.
Hi,
Can someone send me Mrs.Mano's Recipe Collection. My email id is shailashree@hotmail.com.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Mrs. Mano,
Gonna try Pepper Chicken this week end.
Hope it turns out well.
By the way, do I use Zatka or Halal chicken ?
We prefer Zatka.
Hi Mrs Mano,
I tried your Mutton Kulambu II with vegetables.My hubby liked it. I used raddish & brinjal for the vegetable ,but I found that the kulambu lost it non-veg flavour. My doubt is have I added the correct vegi for it, or should I add Mutton more than Vegi?.
And I want to know the basic difference between Kurma & Kulambu.
Thank you in advance.
Dear Mrs Mano,
Can you post the Recipe for Maida biscuits! My friend told me that it is very easy using the oven.
Dear Mrs Mano,
I bought a raw papaya the other day. My husband keeps telling me that he had eaten a kuzhambu which uses green papaya and that it is very tasty.
Please give me a recipe for this
Hi Mrs Mano,
Can Paneer be baked instead of being fried !. In recipes like Palak paneer & so on..
Hello BKJigna!
You would have noticed Urmila’s points. Even Mr.Hemant has written about its side-effects in his previous website, I think. As Urmila said, Russia banned it and then it lifted the ban after 10 years. This is an issue which is going on debate for years without any firm result. I have also learned that it causes decrease in haemoglobin and increase in cholesterol. But nothing is proved and that is why many countries are encouraging the sale of them.
I occasionally cook in the microwave oven –using it to prepare occasional sweets and sometimes roasts. But I am reducing the use of it gradually.
You can go through this link which has the facts on microwave ovens.

Hello Uma and Tomato!
Here is the recipe for Christmas cake. This is from a book given by my close relative which I treasure very much.
CHRISTMAS CAKE:
Ingredients:
Butter- 8 ozs
Brown sugar- 10 ozs
Eggs- 6
Flour- 10 ozs
Baking powder- 2 tsp
Cinnamon powder- 1 tsp
Nutmeg pr- 1 tsp
Raisins- 8 ozs
Currants- 8 ozs
Mixed peel- 4 ozs
Sultanas- 1 lb
Cherries- 4 ozs
Grated rind of 1 lemon or orange
Sherry or brandy- 2 tsps
Procedure:
Cream the butter and sugar well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add sifted dry ingredients and then prepared fruit and rind. Lastly add the sherry. Bake the cake mixture in a prepared tin [8 inches square] to 3 ˝ to 4 hours at 125 to 140 deg. C.
Do not forget to mix the dry fruits with a little flour and keep them like that for a few minutes. Then you can add them to the cake mixture.
Hello R!
I couldn’t understand what does that word’ sotrupai’ mean. I never heard anything like it.
Dear Indu!
We can try the carrot halwa in the gas stove itself. You will get the same taste. But I am not sure about the palgova. I will try and then tell you after that.
Hello Pammi!
Here so many people are using Halal chicken. But, what does ‘zatka’ mean?
Hello apujittu !
If you want to prepare the mutton kuzhambu with vegetables, you can prefer drumsticks and potato which will enhance the non-veg flavour. Radish always dominates the curries. And you should not add more vegetables in a mutton kuzhambu. For 1 kilo mutton, 2 drumsticks or 2 potatoes are enough.
Are you asking the difference between a non-veg kuzhambu and kuruma?
A non-veg kuzhambu is always having so many spices where as kuruma is having only less spices-fennel seeds, coriander powder, poppy seeds and gram dal. Coconut is the main ingredient in kurumas and less coconut is used mostly in non-veg kuzhambu varieties.
About maida biscuits-actually maida is being used in every biscuit preparation in India. So which type of biscuit do you want? Have you asked microwave biscuits?
About baked paneer-yes. You can bake paneer and then add them to the curries you want.
