Hi Kz,

Sorry for the late reply, here the spring roll receipe :

250 gms of minced chicken (if you are veg omit it)
10 rice paper (you can find it in chinese stores)
2 small finely chopped onions
1 egg (if veg omit)
1 carrot gratted
1/4 cup of gratted black dried mushrooms (chinese store) you soak them a bit on water and then grate
1/4 cup of white transparent rice vermicilli soaked 1/2 hr in water and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup sprouted soy seeds
salt
pepper
2 Tb sps chinese fish sauce (Nuoc Mum)

Fry all the ingredients in oil apart EGG for about 10 minutes take off fire and ad the egg make a paste with the egg. soak the rice papers in a bit of water (poured into a big plate) when they are bit soft place a spoon of the chicken paste at the bottom of the round rice paper and spread it to the shape of small carrot bring the three end either sides and the bottom (small place left on the bottom area) on the paste and then roll them (the soaked rice papers are quite sticky and wil stick togather easilyan deep fry. If you do not get the rolls correctly just tie them with a small thread around the rolls to hold them at first.

Let me know if you get it right

Hi Kavitha!

I dont have a recipe for kaldalurunda, but I have what we call in Kerala "kadala chikki", which is nothing but the flat cousin of the urunda :D . If you would like to try, here's the recipe & procedure:

Ingredients:

Roasted groundnuts 1 cup, remove skin once cooled
Sugar 1/2 cup
Butter 1/4 teaspoon
Bicarb of Soda 1/4 teaspoon

Crumble groundnuts into small pieces-I use a rolling pin to crush.

Brown sugar in a heavy bootomed pan and add butter.

Add bicarb of soda. When the mixture begins to froth, add groundnuts. Remove from fire and mix well.

Pour contents into a greased tray and level.

Cut into rectangle pieces before the mixture hardens. Store in airtight containers.

Note:

1. As always keep the flame at low-medium
2. If the chikki is exposed too much it will become soggy, so try and take required numbers and do not put back uneaten ones into the same jar. Always keep the jar closed tightly.

Regards,
Shoba

Sigh! Another attempt & failure of Paneer making!

I get the texture rite but it always crumbles into pieces.

How many litres of milk should one use for 250 grams of Paneer? Another question. Is it worth the attempt? Buying is a lot easier. :-)

Niranjana,
Pls check Dhabha recipes thread. Fellow hubber Bharghavi has posted some tips on making paneer.
Is it worth the effort?
I don't think so. Since you are in India rt now, fresh paneer will be easily available to you, so why waste your time. :wink:

Thanks tomato.
Yes, we get a variety of paneer here. Amul & Milma are the best. But costly, in Indian rupees. A 250 gm packet costs around Rs35-40/-
Its just 4 Dhs (dirhams) but I've developed th habit of converting after I reached here!

Hello Shoba, thanks for the recipe. :D

Hai


I am able to make soft chappaties , but the problem is only the edges become dry. What is it that makes them dry. And what is the best way to heat chappatis.


Thanks

Priya

I would like to know if anyone has been using the tortilla makers to makers to make chapatis. Are they good. Any feedbacks

Bought some frozen green peppers (capsicum) and okra (ladies finger). Does anyone know, how to cook them without the sogginess you get from frozen veggies?
