Women - They Always Select Best

2012-01-26T21:32:00.005+05:30

प्रिय ग्रुहिणिंनो,

Eeating Right to Look and Feel Your Best! याचा अर्थ नक्कीच तुम्हाला समजला असेल. घरात कोणती भाजी करायची? हा प्रश्न असो किंवा होटेलमध्ये कोणत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची "आर्डर" द्यायची, हे ठरवायचे असो; या दोन्ही बाबतीत पुरूषांपेक्षा महिला आवडत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची निवड लवकर व झटपट करतात यात काही दुमत असण्याचे कारण नाही. हा निष्कर्ष आहे Carlos Ribeiro या शास्त्रज्ञाने केलेल्या संशोधनाचा.

पोषक घट्कांच्या द्रुष्टिकोनातून शरीराच्या गरजा आणि लिंग या आधारे आवडत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची निवड केली जाते, असा हा निष्कर्ष आहे. आवडत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची निवड करण्याच्या प्रक्रियेत मेंदू आणि जनुकांना (जिन्स) सर्वप्रथम संकेत प्राप्त होतात, याकडे रिबेरियो यांनी लक्ष वेधले आहे. कोणत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची निवड करायची, हा निर्णय प्रत्यक्षात मेंदू घेत असला तरी याबाबतीत मेदूवरही आनुवंशिक गुणधर्मांचा प्रभाव येत असावा. जगातील बहुसंख्य देशात "स्वयंपाकघर" आणि "स्वयंपाक" ही आजही महिलांची जबाबदारी समजली जाते.

महिलांनी पुरूषांपेक्षा भरभर जेवून घ्यावे, जिभेचे जास्त चोचले पुरवू नयेत, असे म्हणण्याचा काळ आता निघून गेला आहे. तरीही आनुवंशिक गुणधर्मांतून हीच शिकवण महिलांना मिळालेली आहे व ती त्यांच्या रक्तात भिनलेली आहे. शिवाय "रांधा-वाढा-उष्टी-काढा" या धबडग्यात महिलांच्या जिभेची रसिकता रसरशीत राहाणे शक्यच नसते.

स्वयंपाकानंतर किंवा हाँटेलातून परतल्यानंतर घरात पडलेल्या घरकामाचा डोंगर उपसायचा आहे, हे दडपणही मनावर असते. या सर्व घटकांचा परिणाम म्हणून खाद्यपदार्थांच्या निवडीत आपल्याला फारच मर्यादा आहेत किंवा त्या मर्यादा घालून घेणे ही आपली स्त्रित्वाशी संबंधित जबाबदारी आहे, अशी खूणगाठ महिलांनी मनाशी बांधलेली असते. त्याचाच परिणाम म्हणून पुरूषांच्या तुलनेने महिला आवडत्या खाद्यपदार्थांची निवड लवकर करतात, अशी कारणमिमांसा Carlos Ribeiro यांनी केली आहे. आपले काय मत आहे?

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) : Just Delicious

2011-12-18T22:29:00.004+05:30

Dear Women of the House...!!!

We all love KFC because of the lovely and delicious quality of being beautiful and delicate in appearance we get to have in this popular fast food joint. The full form of KFC is 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' and it is one of the largest fast food chains on a worldwide level. The founder of this joint was Harland Sanders. He started the first food joint in Louisville in U. S. Later this brand became more popular and many restaurants then came up in different locations.

Kentucky Fried chicken more popularly known as 'KFC' is more into chicken products and makes many dishes made out of chicken. These food items include fried chicken, chicken wraps and burgers and sandwiches. However, the fried chicken is really popular due to the amazing taste and unique recipe that is used by KFC. You will mostly find that people order chicken more than the other items on the menu.

What makes the KFC chicken so special is its blend of eleven herbs and spices. People have so much trouble copying the recipe because they either forget an herb or a spice, or do not put in the right amounts. Now, the original recipe is here with the exact ingredient amounts you need, herbs and all. If you have someone try this recipe alongside KFC chicken, the taste-tester would be totally unable to tell the difference.

In fact, you do not need any special equipment to cook the Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. You need a deep-fryer or a pressure fryer if you want the crispy texture and moist chicken. Once you cook your first Kentucky Fried Chicken, you will be amazed that you are eating the actual recipe you have enjoyed over the years. Furthermore, since you are in control of the ingredients, you no longer have to worry about excess sodium or trans fats in your food. You will also be avoiding MSG, which is terrible for your body.

The only thing you may have to worry about is word traveling fast about your Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. Be prepared for everyone in town putting in orders with you instead of KFC!

Kitchen Tips : To keep your Kitchen clean

2011-07-31T17:42:00.014+05:30

प्रिय गृहिणिंनो,

Kitchen अर्थात स्वयंपाकघराची नियमित स्वच्छता केली जाणे आवश्यक असते. खरेतर या Kitchen Cleaning Tips आपल्याला पुर्णपणे माहीत नसतात. त्यामुळे कधी कधी खूप गोंधळ उडतो. कारण दिवसभर तिथे स्वयंपाकाचे काम चाललेले असते. त्यामुळे स्वच्छतेला अधिक प्राधान्य दिलं जाणं जरूरीचं असतं.

रात्री झोपायला जाण्यापुर्वी Clean Kitchen असायला हवे. Kitchen sink मधे न धुतलेल्या ताट-वाट्या, भांडी रात्री तशाच ठेवता कामा नयेत. शिजवण्याचा विभाग, baking व साठवणुकीचे विभाग स्वतंत्र असावेत. म्हणजे Kitchen Cleaning करणे सोपे जाते.

Kitchen मधील वस्तु हाताळताना आपले हात स्वच्छ धुतलेले असावेत. Kitchen मधे पुरेशा प्रमाणात सूर्यप्रकाश यायला हवा. शिवाय खेळती हवा असणे गरजेचे असते. Exhaust Fan ची सोयही असायला हवी. अवघड डाग गरम पाण्याच्या सहाय्याने पुसून काढता येतात. यासाठी योग्य आशा cleaning agent चा वापर करता येतो.

फ्रीजमधे शिल्लक राहिलेला पदार्थ जास्त दिवस तसाच ठेवू नये. Kitchen मधे असणा-या fridge, microwave, mixer-grinder यांची नियमित स्वच्छता केल्यास bacteria यांची वाढ होत नाही. Kitchen मधे sink हे स्टेनलेस स्टील चे वापरावे. म्हणजे हे सिंक स्वच्छतेसही सोपे असते.

पदार्थ असलेली उघडी भांडी दीर्घकाळ तशीच ठेऊ नयेत. भांडी धुण्यासाठी चांगल्या साबणाचा (Kitchen Soap) वापर करावा. Kitchen ची रचना अशी असायला हवी की जेणेकरून तेथे आरामात वावरता आले पाहिजे. Sink, stove किंवा गँस शेगडी आणि इतर वस्तु यांच्यात अंतर फार नसावे. इतर गोष्टी निट व्यवस्थित जागच्या जागी रचल्या जातील हे कटाक्षाने पाहा. योग्य अशी रचना असेल तर आपला बराचसा वेळ वाचतो. वावरायला अडथळा होणार नाही अशी आपली kitchen मधील रचना असायला हवी.

ओला आणि कोरडा कचरा वेगवेगळा करावा. कागद, पिशव्या, नारळाची शेंडी आदी कोरडा कचरा कचराबुट्टीत तर भाज्यांची ओली सालं वगैरे पाँलिथिन बँगमधे ठेवावं. कचरा घरात साठू देऊ नका. kitchen चा ओटा कामानंतर कोरडा करावा.

kitchen ची प्रकाशयोजना सुव्यवस्थित असावी. नेहमीच्या साध्या प्रकाशदिव्यांव्यतिरिक्त task lights ची जेथे गरज असेल तेथे आवश्य करावी.

Kitchen Safety That Everyone Must Need

2011-03-12T17:52:00.003+05:30

Dear woman of the house,

All we know that the kitchen is amidship to family life. Cooking with your child can be a fun learning experience. It is true that the kitchen is a thought-provoking area to make your kitchen safe place for your children with great deal of dangers that are obvious, and not so obvious. Yeah! You never stop your children that they help you in the kitchen. They are often more inclined to try new foods, and an interest in cooking is very beneficial in the stripling years. Surely teaching the basics to your child at a young age will help instill a life long enjoyment of cooking, as well as the ability to cook for themselves and others in the future. Before you begin cooking with your child, it is important to know and think how to keep your kitchen safe.

I think all we have to set some rules and kitchen safety tips in place to make sure that your child remains safe, and the atmosphere stays fun.

Being safe in the kitchen we must keep concentrate on following things:

Anything that is easily flammable should be stored away from heat sources.
A smoke detector should be installed in the area between the kitchen and the other rooms nearby. Also a home fire extinguisher should be installed near the exit to be easily reachable.
The cooking area should be regularly cleaned and any extra grease buildup promptly removed. Great buildup is a great fire hazard.
If a pan caught fire from the grease, place the lid over the pan and switch off the heat. Do not use water to put out a grease fire!
Wear tight fitting clothes when cooking and avoid using long sleeves and being around fire with dish towels.
If you have a leak in the gas, everyone should immediately evacuate and the utility company should be called right away. You can easily realize if there is any gas leak as nowadays natural and LP gas are scented so they are distinguishable right away.
Anything that is dangerous to children by being sharp, heavy or poisonous should be removed from easy reach.
The garbage bin should have a hard to open lid so small children can not easily open it to play with the lid.
Avoid leaving any chemicals within easy reach of children.
Pot handles should be turned inward to avoid any spills of hot liquids.
Wall mounted racks should be placed high enough as to not be within children's reach.
Use child resistant latches at cabinet and cupboard doors.
Do not leave any alcoholic beverages in areas that are frequented by children. For small kids alcohol is like poison.

Yeah! It is true that apart from all above things we need to take care about many things for our child safety. Just keep in mind that the kitchen is maybe the room with the most dealings every day. It is the place where the family gathers in the morning for breakfast, where the cooking is taking place, where people eat their lunch, enjoy their afternoon coffee, have their evening dinner and where children even make their homework at times. This is why cooking safety is above all when it comes to keeping your family safe in the cooking area. So, just stay tuned for keeping the kitchen safe for kids.

Taking the lid off during cooking causes vast amounts of heat to escape, therefore the food should only be stirred if it is clearly stated in the recipe.

Another benefit of the crockpot is that it doesn't heat up the kitchen. This can be valuable in the summer but don't limit it to summertime cooking. It is an any-season appliance. You will be pleased smelling the delicious fragrance of your food cooking all day long in the fall, winter and spring. You can also get help from crock book to have many delicious recipes.

2010-12-11T15:55:00.003+05:30

Dear woman of the house,

Let's take a look on following cooking tips that may help you in your cooking skill....

* Dry Fruits: To chop dry fruits, place them in fridge for half an hour before cutting. Take the fruits out and cut them with a hot knife (dip it in hot water before cutting).

* Dough/Rolling pin: If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, place it in freezer for a few minutes.

* Egg peeling off: Make a small hole in the egg by piercing a pin before boiling it. You will be able to remove its skin very easily.

* Egg fresh: Immerse the egg in a pan of cool salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh; if it rises to the surface, it is certainly quite old.

* Garlic: Garlic skin comes off easily if the garlic cloves are slightly warmed before peeling.

* Ghee: Avoid the use of ghee. If it is necessary, substitute it with canola oil. Even for making halwa, you can partly substitute it with oil.

If you are making ghee at home, add a few pieces of meetha paan leaves in the process (remove afterwards) to produce ghee with longer self-life.

* Green Chilies: To keep the chilies fresh for a longer time, remove the stems before storing.

* Green Peas: To preserve green peas, keep them in a polythene bag in the freezer.

* Idlies: Place a betel (paan) leaf over the leftover idli and dosa batter to prevent them sour.

Do not beat idli batter too much, the air which has been incorporated during fermentation will escape.

If you add half a tsp of fenugreek seeds to the lentil and rice mixture while soaking, dosas will be more crisp.

* Fruits: To ripen fruits, wrap them in newspaper and put in a warm place for 2-3 days. The ethylene gas they emit will make them ripe.

* Frying: Avoid deep frying. Substitute deep frying with stir frying or oven bake. Don't pour the oil, but make a habit of spraying the oil in the utensil for cooking. Heat the utensil first, then add oil. This way oil spreads well. You will use less oil this way.

* Left Overs: Don't throw away the foods left over. Store them in Fridge. Use them in making tasty dishes.

* Lemon/Lime: If the lemon or lime is hard, put it in warm water for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to squeeze.

* Lizards: Hang a peacock feather, lizards will leave your house.

* Milk: Moisten the base of the vessel with water to reduce the chances of milk to stick at the bottom.

Keep a spoon in the vessel while boiling milk at medium heat. It will avoid sticking the milk at the bottom of the vessel.

Adding half a tsp of sodium bicarbonate in the milk while boiling will not spoil the milk even if you don't put it in the fridge.

* Mixer/Grinder: Grind some common salt in your mixer/grinder fro some time every month. This will keep your mixer blades sharp.

* Mosquitoes: Put a few camphor tablets in a cup of water and keep it in the bed room near your bed, or in any place with mosquitoes.

* Noodles: When the noodles are boiled, drain all the hot water and add cold water. This way all the noodles will get separated.

* Onions: To avoid crying, cut the onions into two parts and place them in water for 15 minutes before chopping them.

Wrap the onions individually in a newspaper and store in a cool and dark place to keep them fresh for long time.

* Oven: Watch from the oven window to conserve energy because the oven temperature drops by 25 degrees every time its door is opened,

To clean the oven, apply a paste of sodium bicarbonate and water on the walls and floor of the oven and keep the oven on low heat for about half an hour. Dried food can easily be removed.

* Biscuits: If you keep a piece of blotting paper at the bottom of the container, it will keep biscuits fresh for a longer time.

* Apples: Apply some lemon juice on the cut surface of the apple to avoid browning. They will look fresh for a longer time.

* Banana: Apply mashed banana over a burn on your body to have a cooling effect.

Parathas (32nd Serve)

2010-10-11T22:37:00.005+05:30

Dear Women of the House,

I know while reading the heading of this article naturally your mind recalled many types of Parathas like Aaloo Paratha, Lachha Paratha, Mooli Paratha, etc.

A paratha an Indian flat-bread that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the most popular unleavened flat-breads in Indian cuisine and is made by pan frying whole-wheat flour on a tava.

Today we will see how to make taste parathas.

Ingredients: (For 6-8 parathas)

Aata - 2 cups
Water - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Bland Oil or Ghee - 1/2 cup

Method to make Parathas:

Using the aata, salt and water, make and knead the dough, and put the tava on to heat, exactly as for chapattis.

Half fill a small bowl with the oil or ghee, and keep it handy next to the plate of dry atta. Knead the dough briefly and divide it into portions about 1 and 1/2 times larger than for chapattis.

In exactly the same way as for chapattis, roll one portion into a roti as thin as you can. Smear 1/2 tsp oil all over the surface. Fold it in half, smear oil over the surface again and fold again. Roll it out, doing your best to maintain the triangular shape.

For parathas, the tava should be a little less hot than for chapattis. Test by sprinkling a pinch of dry atta on it; it should take 5 seconds to turn brown. When it is at the right temperature, place the paratha gently on it and start rolling out the next one. As soon as the upper surface of the paratha begins to rise i blisters, turn it. Smear the surface with 1/2 tsp oil, and when the underside begins to show flecks of brown turn it again and smear oil on that surface. Press down around the edges with the tongs or the back of the teaspoon, and cook a minute or so more on each side till both are a rich brown.

Remove the paratha and put it in a basket, which you have lined with foil on top of a napkin. Repeat till all the parathas are made.

Note: You can reheat parathas quite successfully by toasting them on the direct flame, as in the last step of making chapattis. They come up almost as good as new.

Now taste the paratha with your beloved hubby and wait for his answer....

Making of Pooris (31st Serv)

2010-10-09T22:37:00.002+05:30

Dear Women of the House,

You know what the name puri comes from the Sanskrit word पूरिका (pūrikā)? Yeah! It is true. "Puri" is most commonly served at breakfast. It is also served at special or ceremonial functions, as part of ceremonial rituals along with other vegetarian food offered in prayer as prasadam.

I think all you have to serve this crispy, golden bread with any dish - vegetarian or otherwise - and your favorite pickle. The perfect Poori is pale golden in color and puffed up almost like a ball!

Ingredients:

Atta - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup or 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk
Maida - 1 cup
Salt - 1 tsp
Bland Oil for deep frying - 1 cup

Method to make Pooris:

Using all the ingredients except the oil, make a dough in exactly the same way as for chapattis. Knead well and allow to rest for at least an hour.

Knead the dough briefly and divide into portions about the same size as for chapattis, and roll out.

Since pooris cook faster than other rotis, it is often suggested that you roll them all out before you start cooking them. But they have to be kept separate, which means that on top of each one as you roll it out you must put a piece of clean paper, foil or plastic film. If you do this ahead of time (e.g. before the arrival of guests), cover the whole arrangement with a barely damp cloth to prevent them drying out.

Pour the oil into a medium sized kadhai, to fill it to a depth of 3-5 cm. Set the pan on medium heat, and let the oil get really hot - it should be just short of smoking. Lower a poori gently into the hot oil with the help of a spatula or slotted spoon. It will sink at first, then, as it rises, keep pushing it down into the oil with small quick strokes. Within a few seconds it will puff out, and the underside will have turned golden brown. Turn it over and cook for a few seconds more till other side turns gold.

Lift out and place on a plate lined with absorbent paper to blot up excess oil. When the next poori is ready to be blotted, put the first one into a serving basket lined with napkin over which you have placed a sheet of foil.

Note: Do not try to reheat pooris; just make as many as you think will be eaten at one time.

Variations: Add 2 tablespoon semolina to the flour when kneading the dough. The pooris would not be so soft, but the will stay puffed longer. Finally, the choice is yours.

So try it out!

Save A Girlfriend For A Rainy Day!

2010-10-09T20:44:00.003+05:30

I do not understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I am interested in someone, and I do not want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I am not interested in that person. Yeah! This is the tendency and logic of many of us that they do not trust on this way or they seem to be untrustworthy.

But if you ask me about whole process of it then I would say boyfriends/girlfriends have to understand someone and their needs. They have to know what he/she wants out of his/her life and about someone’s strict regime.

Definitely, I go to bed at 10pm and not later. I separate my professional and private lives. Yeah! I know it is better but what about others? Where they can find such a trustworthy place to meet asian personal.

If you eager to meet or have a platform like asian dating; then no doubt it is the best place for them. Just sign up and explore thousands of profiles, browse images, send flirts, private messages and connect with asian singles looking for someone like you!

Making of Chapatti : Another Technique - 3

2010-10-09T20:25:00.003+05:30

Dear Ladies of the House,

We have lot information to make chapattis till this time. Here I would like to explore one more technique to make chapattis.

It is another technique for the final cooking - instead of toasting it directly on the flame, turn it over once more on the tava, and with a clean kitchen cloth folded in to a pad, press down the sides with a gentle rotating movement. This should make it puff.

Either way, put the chapatti straight into a dish, or better, a basket, lined with a clean napkin. Fold the napkin over it. Repeat the process, till all the chapattis are made.

Theoretically, the rolling out of each chapatti takes almost the same time as the previous chapatti is on the tava. It is not that easy in the beginning to get it all perfectly coordinated, but as you get practice, you may find that you get into a rhythm and have an assembly line going.

To Reheat Chapattis:

There is really not satisfactory method of reheating chapattis. Some writers recommend wrapping them in foil and reheating in the oven, but then they lose their crispness. In the toaster they get hard. The least unsatisfactory method, I find, is to toast them a second time briefly on the flame. It would not be as good as freshly made chapattis, bout one option is to make them in advance omitting the toasting process, which you can then do at the time of serving the meal.

If you like your chapattis spread with ghee or butter, it is easier to do this at the table than in the kitchen, where it becomes just one more process to cope with. Make sure that the fat is softened, or even melted, for easy spreading.

Chapatti : A Map Of Australia - 2

2010-10-09T20:02:00.005+05:30

Dearest housewives,

It happens often while making chapatti at the first time that unknowingly you make a map-of-Australia. I think this is common and everyone got such type of experience. After making a dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll) now you are ready to make fine chapatti.

Now you have roll it out, turning it as you do so, with the aim of achieving as near as you can to a perfect circle. Never mind if your first efforts look like the map of Australia; you will learn by doing (and in any case there is no reason why a map-of-Australia-shaped chapatti should not taste perfectly fine).

When the dough is rolled out as thin as you can reasonably get it, to a diameter of 12-14 cm, test the heat of the tava. A drop of water flicked onto it should jump and evaporate instantly. Now pick up the chapatti carefully, peeling if off the working surface, and toss it gently from palm to palm to get rid of any dry atta that may still be sticking to it. Lay it flat on the tava, and start rolling out the next chapatti, all the time keeping an eye on the tava.

When you see the upper surface beginning to look dry and slightly blistered, about 30 seconds, turn it over with flat-bladed tongs. The underside should also have a blistered appearance, and some golden patches. Give it another 30 seconds, then take the tava off the heat, and using the tongs, put the chapatti, first side down, directly on the flame. It should puff up immediately. Turn it over (leaving it for a few seconds on the flame if you like a slightly burnt taste to your chapattis); then take it off the fire.

Just keep in mind above information while making chapattis.

In next article we will see another technique to make finest chapatti.

Notes To Remember While Making Chapattis - 1

2010-09-10T22:32:00.001+05:30

Dear housewives,

I know all you have read out previous article while making of chapattis which gives you more important information about making chappatis. Now all you must keep in mind all these following information before going to make more delicious chappatis.

The process of making chapatti is best done 1-2 hours in advance, both because you don't want the hassle of kneading dough as you are getting the meal on the table, and because the kneaded dough improves further if it is allowed to 'rest' for a bit. If you are really sold on the whole chapatti bit, you can even make double quantities, and keep half in the fridge for the next day. But remember that the surface of resting dough has to be protected from drying out, so you must either cover it with a clean damp cloth, or keep it in a food-grade plastic bag or other airtight container.

When the time comes to make the chapattis, out the tava on medium heat. Put a couple of tablespoon dry atta on a small plate beside your work surface. Give the rested dough a couple of kneadings, then divide it into 10-12 portions, each about the size of a large lime. Take each portion and roll it into a ball between your palms, then squeeze it between the heels of your hands to flatten it a bit. In summer, cover the flattened balls with a clean barely damp cloth so that the surfaces do not dry out.

Sprinkle some dry atta on your chapatti board or clean smooth working surface. Take on flattened ball and dip it in dry atta to coat it on both sides. Put it on the atta-sprinkled surface, and press it down again with the heel of your hand to flatten it further.

Making of Chapattis (30th Serv)

2010-09-09T21:39:00.003+05:30

Chapatti is a favorite bread throughout India. The ingredients for this chapatti recipe are simple: flour, water, salt and oil, but it takes practice to make them just right.

Some people like to smear each chapatti with a thin layer of ghee, immediately after it comes off the fire. Though it tastes lovely with ghee, I prefer not to use any. In the days of my childhood, it was considered mean or bad-mannered to serve ghee-less chapattis to guests, but then people were neither fat/overfed, nor prone to heart problems early in life!

Have a look on below method that I have done in my kitchen.

Ingredients: (for 10-12 Chapattis)

Atta - 2 cups
Water - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 table spoon

Method to make Chapattis:

To prepare the dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll), you need a thali or a large platter with a raised rim. Sieve the atta with the salt into this.

Start adding the water, say 1/4 cup at a time, mixing it in with your fingers till it is absorbed and the atta starts to cohere into a stiffish dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll). As the dough starts to form and only a little of the atta remains dry, add the water with circumspection. The idea is to use only as much as is needed to form the dough, which should not be wet and sticky, but also not so stiff as to make it difficult to work with.

Once you have a nice firm ball of dough, the trick of making soft chapattis is to knead it well. It is quite hard work, but satisfying, once you get the knack. Punch the ball of dough with the heel of your hand, and as it flattens out of all over it with your knuckles. When it gets thin, pull the far edge of the dough towards you with your fingers, and fold it over. Punch, knuckle and pull; punch, knuckle and pull, turning the platter with your other hand as you do so. And that is it. Keep at it for about 5 minutes, till the dough loses its stickiness, and you have the makings of lovely soft supple chapattis and serve it to your beloved hubby and kids.

Roti : My Views From Kitchen

2010-09-09T20:40:00.005+05:30

Chapattis have been described as "a vulgar feudal luxury', and it's true that you get the best value form chapattis if there is someone standing in the kitchen making them and bringing them one be one, hot and golden and puffed out with scalding steam, to the table. Many busy young professionals may feel this is too much for them to do on a regular basis. But a few chapattis, roasted on the tava as the food is being heated, are a treat that may not be too much trouble to organize for yourself every now and then; and the oftener you make them, the less the effort will seem.

The basic dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll) for making chapattis and parathas is atta (whole wheat flour) and water, seasoned with a little salt. But it can be varied in any number of ways. You can substitute refined flour (maida) for half, or even all of the atta, and half-half is what is usually recommended for making pooris. You can mix the dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll) with milk, or half milk and half water. For parathas and pooris, some cooks recommend kneading a little oil or ghee into the dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll).

For a change of flavor, you can knead a teaspoonful of ajwain or powdered fennel into the dough (A flour mixture stiff enough to knead or roll).

In the metropolitan cities you can get various ready-made kinds of bread that you can substitute for roti-pizza bread, for example, which only needs to be put into the toaster. These may be worth looking out for if you like to eat rotis but find it too much of an effort to make them at home every day.

Common Tips while making rice - 1

2010-08-15T22:34:00.007+05:30

Dear housewives, if you think to make a delicious rice at home then I think all you have keep in mind some rice tips here.

Some of the steps in cooking rice are common in most cases. Hence, to avoid monotony, here I give the tips once and for all.

Rice has first to be picked clean. With fine Basmati grain, coming packaged, this can be given a miss, but mos raw rice has to be first cleaned of dirt particles (sometimes, even small stones) and then washed well. Change the water in which you are washing the rice, at least thrice. Drain off the water well. In case of fried rice, this must be even more so.

Rice kept soaked in water for sometime, cooks faster and does not increase in volume, but this is not compulsory. It can however, soak while you get the other ingredients together, soak while you get the other ingredients together; chopping vegetable, for instance. The water level in the soak should not be over an inch, unless specified otherwise.

A abstract of haladi or turmeric powder mixed in a little milk, added to the rice, gives it a nice yellow color. In fact, it can work as a substitute for the more expensive saffron (also to be mixed with a hit of milk). Saffron, of course, gives a unique flavor to the dish besides that subtle yellow-orange color. Just do it when you plant to cook rice. There are many tips on rice we will see in some other day...bye!!

I would like to wish to offer a taste soup. Yeah! It is a Mixed Vegetable Soup.

Ingredients (For 5-6 Servings):

2 Medium onions

2 cloves garlic

2 large potatoes

1/2 kg vegetables - (capsicums, french beans tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, spinach, green peas, turnips.)

1 tbsp bland oil or butter

2 bay leaves

1/2 tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp salt

5 cups any stock or water

A small bunch fresh coriander leaves

Preparation:

Slice the onions. Chop or crush the garlic, if used. Peel wash and cut the potatoes in medium dice wash and prepare the other vegetables as given in the recipe for vegetables stock and chop roughly. Wash and chop the green herb.

Method:

Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker, lower the heat, add the onions, cover and cook till soft and translucent.

Add the rest of ingredients except the stock or water and herb. Toss over medium heat for a few minutes.

Pour in the stock or water, bring up to the boil and cook till the vegetable are well softened. If using the pressure cooker, cook under pressure for 5 minutes, release the pressure and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

Stir the green herb, if used, and mash or blend the soup to a pure.

Reheat till piping hot and serve immediately.

Variations: Reduce the amount of stock by about 1 and half cups, and after blending the soup add the same quantity of milk.

You can use any one vegetable along with the onions and potatoes, and the same basic recipe to make for example, Celery Soup, Green Pea Soup, Carrot Soup, or Spinach Soup. Spinach Soup is improved by the addition of a grated nutmeg.

You can hardly have a better Tomato Soup than one made as above using only 1-2 onions, 3-4 medium potatoes and 6-8 medium tomatoes. Tomatoes being so full of water, you may like to reduce the amount of water or stock. The inclusion of mint, dill or basil, coarsely chopped and added just before pureeing, lifts it int0 the gourmet class.

The classic cold soup Vichyssoise is exactly this recipe, using only 3-4 potatoes and 1/2 kg leeks, if available, otherwise use spring onions or regular onions. Chill and stir in 1/2 cup cream just before serving. If served hot it is called Potage Bonne Femme and can be enriched with cream or 25 gms butter.

You can invent your own variations: Mushroom and Green Peas; Celery and Turnip; Capsicum and Leeks; Spinach and Carrot - just endless possibilities.
