hi im here too, im going to start with payasam. i will give the recipe for to different payasam:

Carrot Kheer (Payasam)
carrots - 1 kg, sugar - 1 kg, cardamom powder, saffron, roasted cashews, milk - 1.5 litres.
Cut carrots into small pieces and boil them in pressure cooker. Add saffron and grind it well. Heat this mixture (keep in very low flame) and add sugar. stir constantly till sugar dissolves in the mixture. Add cardomom powder. add boiled milk to this mixture. Mix well. Refrigerate. serve cold. Roast some cashews and add to the kheer just before serving. Very healthy dessert.

Steam the vegetables in a pressure cooker or a food steamer and mash them into a tight paste.Add grated onions, salt, red chilli powder. Knead the mixture tightly. Make this into uniform balls and keep aside
Mix gram flour and rice flour in the ratio 2 1/2 :1 , add salt, chili powder, asafoetida,. Add water and mix to a thick consistency. Roll the balls in this flour and deep fry until they are crisp.

Aaaloo paratha
Ingredients: 3 big potatoes, 3 cup wheat flour(small cups), Salt to taste, Green chillies, Pudina/mint leaves
For the stuff:
Just boil potatoes and make curry with salt, green chillies and Pudina/mint leaves(U can add chilli powder instead of green chillies also)
Paratha:
Make a loose batter of wheat flour with a pinch of salt and sambar powder. Now make small balls from this.Cave open this ball in the middle(It should be like a small cave that we do for kozhukkatai).Now add a liitle bit of gingley oil into this dough.Spread this oil well.Now stuff it with the curry u had made.Cover up this masala and then roll this back inrio ball with the stuff.Spread it across as u do for chappathi.Apply oil and make like chappathis.But this needs more oil than normal.This tastes well with tomato chutney/baingan masala.

Coriander seeds - 1/4 kg
Toor Dal - 200 g
Gram dal - 200 g

Cooking Section will be included in this Hub at a later stage. RR is having his hands full now. The reason we transfered Deepavali Delicacies thread is because of the season.
