My dear friends, Dev, Suvai, Selviem, Sudha, Aarthii, P.S Tamby and Rajraj uncle.
Thanks for all your nice posts.
Due to personal problems, I will not be able to log in daily.
I will come as often as I can.
Please keep the thread moving.
Thanks Kugan98
Dev,
Bal Vidhya Mandir (BVB Global) considered Chennai's one of the best school has opened branch in Cbe (Trichy Road area). My friends have put their children here taking TC from Stanes and other famous schools.
Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan has also opened its branch in Coimbatore (Vadavalli area)
Again people have shifted children from stanes.
These two have good teachers and good teaching methods, I hear.
You may keep this in mind.
Dev, I am quite happy with KV, (though I didn't think I would be when I came down here!) We put Maddy in KV as it was the only CBSE school for her class then, and they happened to take students that year. But it is quite good, no snobbery like Stanes, very cheap (cheapest for a single girl child), and the best if you are on the move !
Maddy starts crying if we even suggest we have to shift!
Thanks Ksen and Sudhaka for the inputs...will keep it in mind...:)
Something I tried last week...Very healthy and really crunchy...
Healthy Spinach Khakra:
Mix together wheat flour, spinach puree, carom seeds, roast and ground cumin seeds powder,salt, chilly pwd, turmeric and knead to make a stiff dough.You can add water if need be. Add some ghee and knead again.
Now take a gooseberry sized ball and roll it into a paper thin chapathi... Roll it as thin as possible...
Heat a griddle, spread just a few drops of oil and place the chapathi on it. Make sure the heat is on low.
Keep pressing and turning around the chapathi . You can use a clean cloth ball or a wooden press. Keep pressing so that the chapathis don't puff up much. If they puff up a bit here and there, that is ok.
Also flip sides a few times and roast until the chapathis become real crisp.It will take like 3- 5 minutes.
Now let the khakras cool down and store in air tight containers.
Stays good for a month.
Enjoy the yummy crispy healthy snack with tea. ;)
Make a mexican salsa to go with the khakras. Yumm!!!
Any dip goes well with the khakras. They are also yummy on their own.
Variation:
Use tomato puree in place of spincah puree to make tomato khakras.
You can also make plain carom khakras or jeera khakras.
dev: Fill up the subject line! :)
Done uncle...:)
At the end you have to add (dev)Quote:

Add the batter and raisins, stirring until the mixture becomes thick. Mix in the cardamom and remove from the heat.
Next, apply a thin coating of ghee to a plate and pour the cooked mixture onto it. Let it sit for 15 minutes until the mixture hardens, then cut it into the desired shapes.

Fry the dalia in a little ghee until it darkens a few shades. Add twice the amount of water and pressure cook until done. Soak the saffron in a little warm water, and in another dish soak the raisins for a few minutes to plump them.
Bring the milk to a boil and add the cooked dalia and sugar, stirring to mix. Add more milk as needed to get a nice, thick pouring consistency. (It will thicken more as it cools.) Add all the remaining ingredients, mix well, and remove from heat. Let the Thulli cool with the lid on for several minutes, then garnish with almonds, and offer.

When most of the water has evaporated, add all the remaining ingredients expect the lemon, and cook until done. When the rice is done, mix in the lemon juice, blend well, and offer.

Belimbing is Malay for starfruit....
Bilimbing is something similar to gooseberry... It's a long variety of gooseberry. You can prepare a pickle out of it using the gooseberry pickle that has already been posted by Kugan and me in the same thread... But both recipes are for Indian style pickle and I'm not sure if that is what u r looking for.
Hi Kugan Akka , dev and Rajraj uncle
could not post here that often due to feverish sort of thing.
will post tips later :)
Sorry, I found out that it is called bilimbi.
Small cucumber like shape and very sourish.
It grows in bunches on trees.
Most Malay houses have this tree.
I will wait for Kugan to post the recipe.
Thanks Dev, for the tips.
