2 cups of basmati rice – washed until the water runs clear
1 cup Mixed Frozen Vegetables – defrosted
2 tbls Vegetable oil

1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 tsp Tumeric
2 Cloves of Fresh Garlic – minced

Method
1. Put a large pot on high heat. Add the oil and allow to heat.
2. Add clove, cardamom and cinnamon and allow them to flavor the oil slightly.
3. Add the mixed vegetables.
4. Add garlic, ginger, chillies, salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander and turmeric.
5. Stir well.

suja welcome back. veg simple rice is very interesting.
NM try this aval recipe. I got it from a magazine. It was written by Suvir saran.
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
20 curry leaves, roughly torn
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt, to taste
2 small red potatoes, diced into very small cubes
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 jalapeno chille, finely diced
4 cups thick aval , rinsed quickly in cold water and drained
1 cup frozen green peas
1 medium-ripe tomato, cored and finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime plus 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
3/4 cup chopped cilantro, divided
Heat the oil with the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the cumin seeds are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the turmeric and jalapeno and cook until the potatoes are tender and crispy browned, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring only once or twice.
Carefully stir in the aval, peas and tomato, taking care not to overwork and break the rice flakes. Once completely incorporated, drizzle 1/2 cup water around the edges of the skillet. Cover. Reduce the heat to low, cooking the poha until it is completely tender, about 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and 1/2 cup of the cilantro and fluff with a fork.
Taste for seasonings. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
There is nothing like chewing raw aval freshly pounded when you visit your grandparents in your ancestral village ! :lol:Quote:

Onion – finely chopped (sambar onion will enhance taste)
Curry + malli leaves
Salt to taste
Pour water in the required aval and wash (do not smash) twice atleast, and drain the water.
This is enough to make the aval damp and soft.
In a wok, add oil + kadugu + paruppus + chillies and then onion + salt and fry. Then add the aval and mix well for few minutes. Sprinkle little water if it is very dry. Switch off flame after 3 mins.
Add chopped curry and malli leaves.
Aval upma is ready in few mins.

Hi friends,
I need some suggestions...
Planning to go for MV oven, hv seen three models,
solo, grilling, convection ...
Which one is better...???? :D
Buy all three! :)Quote:

I first bought a MW oven ... aprom konjam naalil bakingla interest vandhichu... so I bought a convection oven... But now planning to buy a combi oven... Those buying these 2 ovens seperately din't cost much, both the ovens + a mixie+grinder took up almost 80% of the kitchen countertop... so combi oven vaangita konjam space freeup pannidalaam... So unga usagea yosichu vaangunga... illana naan pannina maadhiri thaan kacha mucha velai seiveenga...:lol2:Quote:

another variation is to add peanuts and mint after frying onions(base recipe is same as sudha's )
Poha cutlet- unga usual potato cutletla potatova 50% kammi pannitu, add soaked poha to make up the other 50%. rest will be the same.
