SUN TV & Other Recipe Collections

You are very welcome, Pooh..

Dear R:

Can I substitute plain milk(only) instead of coconut milk? in some of the recipes that you have given? will the taste be diff?

Thanks

Seetha

Sorry seetha, have not tried with plain milk; but, when I posted a recipe for coconut milk pulav(made with coconut milk & water), some hubber had mentioned that she tried with our regular milk and she liked the taste too. So, definitely, it shd be fine.

We are doing brinjal kootu with plain water; even, then, the taste is coming out nice. Not only that, when we make ven pongal, sometimes, makes with milk and water; the taste will be wonderful too.

Since the milk is getting boiled, it will give its own taste to the dish. If you are fine, do the seasoning in coconut oil to get the coconut smell. Otherwise, that is also ok...

Bye.

Hello KZ,

I am glad you liked the recipe. :D . You did it correct. It should be of pudding consistancy. And i use 'poha thick' aval. This poha thick looks like falttend pori. I hope u also refer the same.

Thanks R for your prompt reply!! I shall def try one of the recipes that you have posted with milk substitution. Which brand of coconut oil do you recommend?

You are doing a wonderful job of posting so many yum yum recipes.

happy long weekend!!

Seetha

Thanks and have a nice weekend to you and yr family too!!

I always prefer to use Parachute (blue color) coconut oil. Certainly, it gives more pleasure while sharing recipes with others than cooking and eating by ourselves!!

Bye.

Hi Kavitha,

Yeah i was refering to the same, but since i have thin aval i used them and it came out good. once this aval is over i will try with thick aval. i got this thin aval mistakenly and trying to use it up.

Before the long weekend begins, will quickly fill up this week's collection from SUN TV..

Fruit nut Shrikand:

Mango ripe 1
apple 1
pomegranate 1
thick curd 1 cup
grapes 1 cup
sugar 1 cup
badham 6
cardamom 2

Cut all the fruits into tiny pieces and take out the seeds from the pomegranate.

Beat sugar with curd & cardamom powder well; add 3/4th of all assorted fruits.

Place the above mixture in a bowl and decorate with remaining fruits and nuts on the top.

Nutritious one for kids!

Tip:

Using hung curd will yield a better and tasty result.


------------------------------------

Stuffed idly:

Cooked idlies 4
carrot, beans 1 each (cooked)
bread crumbs depends
maida
curry leaves
masala gravy from pickles optl.

Cut the idly into halves so that you will get two pieces of idlies. Take a piece, slit idly carefully to do the stuffing.

Mix the masala gravy and cooked vegetables; stuff the same inside the idlies.

Prepare maida batter adding water(watery consistency) and dip idlies in the same, roll over on the crumbs. You can either shallow fry or deep fry in oil.

--------------------------------------

While talking about these idlies, I do recollect one more variation, which is little similar to the above. Cut into 4 pieces from an idly. Fry them in oil and put them in sambar or take it just like that!!

Yummy snack is ready..
