My mother used to make many of these items, but unfortunately I couldn't make it without a proper recipe. I can't even search for the some of the recipes with the name we use at home. You have solved all these problems. I now feel reconnected to my good old days. Nostalgic!<BR/><BR/>Thanks and keep up your good work. <BR/><BR/>VenkatVenkathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971067842699599008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27312321.post-39179469664283169272007-08-16T03:48:00.000-07:002007-08-16T03:48:00.000-07:00Sreenidhi -You are right - one needs atleast 5-9 servings of vegetables /day to get all the vitamins and minerals.

Getting tagged is nothing but one blogger 'tagging' the other blogger to take on a questionnaire - or taking up a challenge...if i write about my top 5 favourite restaurants and tag you, I expect you to do the same and 'tag' some one else to continue the task!

Especially your tambram recipes. Whenever i read about your recipes my memories with my mums cooking comes back to me. I love the way you giving authentic names to dishes. Ofcourse, that's what we grew up hearing right!!<BR/>I have a general qeustion ... i have been hearing about "tagged" in many blogs. what is it? how do you get tagged? <BR/>keep up the good work nandita. <BR/>Arunaarunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03013235779865649007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27312321.post-53629691757724112012007-05-10T22:30:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:30:00.000-07:00Vidwata,<BR/>While rye is used in making bread - you could try out some Indian recipes like Chila by mixing half of rye flour with half of besan, adding onions, tomatoes, chillies etc and spreading into a thick pancake. Some bloggers from European countries have written about baking with this flour. You could do a search on blogger/<BR/><BR/>Cornsalad- something I haven't heard about- you say it is a leaf?Nanditahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343211073306086159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27312321.post-23845110077027786222007-05-03T03:24:00.000-07:002007-05-03T03:24:00.000-07:00Hi Nandita,<BR/><BR/>I have come up with a request. Actually I bought rye flour mistaking it to be wheat flour (since both come in same white and brown pack and the names are written in French and the packs are stacked together and I sometimes get preoccupied and look at one pack and pick the other :) )<BR/><BR/>So, I googled and realized there isn't any Hindi term for rye flour. I really am not up to making sour bread out of rye. But have you ever tried something with this flour! If so do let me know..please... lest i end up using the rye flour as 'palethan' (to dust the rotis while making them..<BR/><BR/>Other intersting thing I would like to share is... I always thought those leaves were methi, but I figured out they were cornsalad, called rampon in French. I use them to make methi paratha.. but I would love to get your view on Cornsalad!!<BR/><BR/>This time this much... the new cook keeps meddling meanwhile!Vidwatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06808941154519538431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27312321.post-48922684326104025752007-04-16T06:51:00.000-07:002007-04-16T06:51:00.000-07:00Vidwata,<BR/>That is excellent!
