I had Kraft Dinner for supper, I was feeling particularly industrious so I made the stove top kind instead of the microwaveable kind.

Have you tried to make the box scalloped potatoes...their pretty easy, but I don't know how they measure up to scratch prepared recipes...

It's a quickie tonight. Spiced salmon and sweet potato fries. Followed by an apple.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
Oh, feel like having fish now... Maybe I should make some for tomorrow's dinner!

Is idli like rice cakes? And the chickpea chutney, is it like houmous?
Recipes, please!

Idli:Is idli like rice cakes? And the chickpea chutney, is it like houmous?
Recipes, please!
1) soak a cup of black gram (without the outer layer) and about 3 cups of rice overnight, separately
2) next day, grind the ingredients and make a thick paste of it
3) add the required quantity of baking soda and salt as per taste in the batter, and leave it to ferment for about 7-8 hrs
4)In an idli stand/or whichever utensil you can use to make the idlis, apply some oil to grease the base, then pour the required quantity of the batter
5) Then, in a pressure cooker/or any vessel in which you can steam the idlis, add some water, enough to generate steam. Place the idli stand, take out the pressure cooker whistle and close the lid.
Let it cook for about 10-15 mins
After it cools down you can take out the idlis and eat it with chutney.
Alternatively, you can use ready-made batter if that is available in the market, there.
Chutney recipie:
-soak the roasted chickpea for 10-15 mins
-once done, add some green chillies and salt, and then grind everything adding some water.
-in a separate pan, pour very little oil, once heated, add some mustard seeds to it.
Then add this to the paste.
I don't really know the ingredients of a rice cake or what a houmous is...
Thank you very much, Madhuri. They both sound really delicious. I think I can give chutney a try without much difficulty but not sure if I can cope with Idli. What does the stand look like?
Tonight> Oven baked pasta, mixed salad and yoghurt.
