hey sisters!!!
Brilliant ideas :) The name, the suggestions, the recipes, the plans, the LOT!!! :D Man, did we ever imagine we'd be doing this.. discussing cooking? well, actually , i think i did.. and come to think of it, i do remember discussing it with one of you guys last year or the year before too.. that soon, the future we'd be doing this ;)
I don't have any fancy recipes of mine.. I'm currently in the process of cooking so much indian food that I surprise myself with my dedication to our culture. Of course, that Ram's not a big fan of anything non-spicy is a factor too :P On that note, I'm a bit of a pro now at idlis n dosas so if u want any tips/recipes on that i can help :)
Pastas/rice: i used to eat red rice when i was at Vinthi's place.. it was really hard to eat at first but in a way guess that's good cos you eat less :P But once you get used to it, like Megha said, it is not that bad at all. Wholemeal pasta's yum, i actually think it tastes better almost than the white one.. what say you megha? We have the brown basmati at home, i haven't had the guts to try it yet though.. gotta try it sometime. Wonder if biryani tastes the same with it? Guess if it is meat biryani, shudn taste too different? Btw.. if u are making meat biryani, Shan Bombay Biryani Mix is the best one to try..
Along the same lines of swati's tip.. One of the most useful thing that mom told me is about adding spices when frying onions etc.. you have to add the spices when the onions are translucent.. rather than when they are golden brown or raw.. or like most ppl do, towards the end of the curry cooking process.. cos this way, the spices realllly get into the onions and they give the most awesome spice base.. :)
ooh this is so exciting girls.. lets keep this up :) and eventually, i reckon, we should put up a 'book' or a blog together with all these... if not for others, for ourselves for future reference.. I've started writing all my best working/tasting recipes (that i collect from everywhere really) in a book.. dont have many as of now, but am gonna keep doing it.. we can do something like that collectively! :)
