Hi,

You have to first keep the frozen veg in the refrigerator overnight.
Then get them to room temp by keeping the veg in warm water for sometime & then wipe out the extrawater from the veg with paper towels..This way you will find them fresh & not soggy..

From my experience, depending on the kind of vegetables, if you let them thaw, they will become soggy due to the amount of frozen fluid already there. What I usually do is place them in a colander or vegetable boiler (so they don't come in direct contact with water) and let them steam a while. Then, I use them. For those who use the microwave it is even faster. Just place them in a microwave safe bowl, sprinke or spray very little water on them and nuke them for a while. If I am sauteing, that is sort of stir-frying, like for poriyal or kootu, then I chop them frozen and use them as such.

Hi Priya,

U can mix powdered sugar( confectioner's sugar) to the wheat flour according to ur sweetness. then heat up ghee and add it to the wheat sugar mixture and make small balls when it is hot.

take 1/4 cup flour each time and a couple of tbsp ghee and make little each time. if they become cold then u wont be able to make laddoos.
u can also add toasted cashews, almonds to the laddoo if u like. it is similar to making maavu laddoo using paasiparuppu maavu or rawa ladoo.

Dev,

I'm wondering about "pacharisi/pongal rice"...

If you are looking for pacharisi for making ponggal, then any Thai fragrant rice varieties would do. Our neighbourhood provision shops will have them. Golden Phoenix is the one I use.

Hope this was what you meant in your query!
