goingto go sort out a mushroom rissotto for dinner! It is so much nicer with long grain rice than rissotto rice. :nod:
(oh and that had courgette in it too!)
Made some kind of vegetarian hot pot with cubed potatoes and Quorn (added a little canned mixed vegetabled too just to sneak in for those who would not have those otherwise), served with Moroccon style couscous (an absolute cheat, of course; right out of a pack: only added boiling water to "make" it).
Followed by watermelon.
I'm not cooking, but bbq chicken, fries, and carrots.
Hawaiian marinated chicken with wild rice and peas and carrots.
I had to google Quorn and found that I would have to drive 1.5 hours to get some.
I will be making
Chana dal with lauki and chapati
http://romaspace.files.wordpress.com...channa_dal.jpg
The green vegetable is lauki and chana dal is a type of pulse.
Today is a holiday, and I am in the mood of cooking. I just now made Nariyal Ladoo (coconut ladoo). Its a type of dessert.
looks like this : http://thespicecafe.com/wp-content/u...0389-thumb.jpg
:D :D I have already had several :)
That is interesting; we can get them almost at every major supermarket. Now they have an amazing range as well, which makes my job in the kitchen much easier (not a vegetarian as such but trying to limit our meat in take):Quote:

Shepard Pie. I i didnt even make it for myself! I had left over Mushroom rissotto with Courgette and peas.
Well, had a change of plan. While I was frying the mince meat to be stored in the freezer, the folks assumed that it was for dinner so demanded pasta with mince meat, followed by strawberries and watermelon.Quote:

PB&J Sammich.
Pretty straight forward.
Pepper , Mushroom & Cheese Omlette (possibly with bacon bits as well)
Lucky Charms
Nariyal Ladoo
This will make about 25-30 pieces of ladoo.
Ingredients
2 to 2 1/2 cups -- Coconut powder
1 cup -- Khowa (dried whole milk). Its a solid ingredient, not a powder.
1/2 cup -- milk
10 tsp -- Sugar
2-3 pinches -- powdered cardamom
Process
1) Heat a pan (kadhai), and put coconut and sugar in it; stir it on a low flame.
2) Add khowa to the mixture; keep stirring until the ingredients mix, and it looks somewhat cooked. The mixture will turn slight brownish.
3) Add milk and cardamom. The mixture will now look like a paste. Keep on stirring until the milk dries up and the mixture looks sticky and solid.
4) Now, make round ladoos in the palm of your hand.
5) Once done, sprinkle some coconut powder over each ladoo, so it sticks.
Keep in the fridge, and let it cool.
It will look just like the ones in the picture above.
The recipe for Dal will be coming soon. :)
Today, I cooked-- Carofurely :)
Carrots, Japanese Tofu, Parsley, Tomato sauce and some herbs. Simmer everything and serve with a smile! :)
Thank you very much, Madhuri. :) I am not sure if dried milk is available as "solid". I know it comes as powder but I will still check the stores. This recipe reminds me of one of my mother's recipes but it was chocolate balls covered with coconut pieces. I will look this one up too!Quote:

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Had a salmon Encroute. (i think thats what its called!)
You are welcome :)Quote:

homemade chili ... hmmm good. ;)
We simple Dal, Bhat, tarkari and achar, a typical Nepali dish.
I will give it a try with the powder and see how it goes.Quote:
