Thanks, Badri...

We tried making TOMATO OOTHAPPAM and found them to be very flat not as fluffy or soft as the OOTHAPPAMS made out of the regular Dosa batter. Please advise whether this is because of the high proportions of rice and no ulundu at all in your recipe.. Also please clarify whether you mean Kadalai Paruppu as Bengal Gram?

Baskaran

Can you please advise what you exactly mean by "lentils" and "bengal gram". I assumed lentils is thuravam varuppu and bengal gram is muzhu ulundhu. Is this correct? I know there are multiple variations so wanted to be sure.
Thank you.


TOMATO OOTHTHAPPAM:

Ingredients:

Boiled rice-1 1/2 cups
Raw rice- 1/2 cup
Fenugreek seeds- 1/2 tsp
Lentils- 2 tbsp
Bengal gram- 1 tsp
Tomato [chopped] - 1 cup
Tamarind- a lime size
Red chillies- 5
Salt to taste

Procedure:

Soak the rice varieties with the fenugreek seeds and the lentils in enough water for 4 hours. Then grind them to a fine batter with the tomatoes, red chillies and tamarind. Add enough salt and allow the batter to ferment for 5 hours. Now you can make ooththappams as usual. You can add finely chopped onion[ 1 cup] as optional.

Hi Mrs.Mano,

Tried milagu kulambu y'day..tasted great... a very good recipe when laid down by cold & fever...:)

Made milagu kulambu again today... only variation is that I added a bit of pottu kadalai while grinding the spices so that thae curry will thicken faster... it tasted great... Thanks again, Mrs.Mano...

Regarding indexing this thread, I'll do it whenever I find time... sorry, a bit busy these days...

Hello Mrs. Mano,
I tried ur Peanut Masala, it was excellent. Thanks a lot for ur quick reply and also for this wonderful recipe.
If time permits, can u please post the recipe for Thirunelveli Halwa / Mascot Halwa.
Good luck on ur Bride search for ur son.
Thanks

Dear Badri!

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback.

Hello Baskaran.ramamurthy!

As I do not have my file with me, I couldn’t clarify yr doubt. Any how, please add a handful of black gram to soak with the rice varieties. Definitely it will yield good result after fermentation.

Yes. ‘Kadalaiparuppu’ is Bengal gram in English.

Hello Dev!

Thank you very much for yr nice feedback on Milagu kuzhambu.
