hi
which thread has brinji recipe..?

i know the basic recipe...wanted to know if there are any other different methods to making it...feeling bored with my brinji :)

What is 'Chemba'?
I bought this pack of dried idiyappam. The idiyappam is brown in color( instead of white). And on the pack is written 'chemba idiyappam'?
Is 'chemba' a kind of grain?

Chemba is a rice variety...

HI

'Chemba Rice' is variety of rice tht is generally red in colour. Tht explains why the iddiyappam powder is brown in colour.

This is a typical malayali rice. Roughly Chemba arisi translates to red boiled rice.


You even get chemba puttu podi.

Add the paneer and green chillies and mix well.
Keep aside.
Coat one side of bread slices with butter and place on a hot tawa.
Keep it on low flame till bread turns crisp only on one side.
Cut the bread slices in triangular shapes.

But one side has to remain soft.
