Hi friends, � Here are a couple of recipes that for some reason did not go through last week.� Hope you enjoy them.� Send me your feedback.� Happy eating! � ******************************************************* September 12, 2003� Good day friends, Hope you all had a good week. The highlight of my week was being at my 5-year-old son�s soccer game and watching him score a goal.� What a thrill!� Anyway, here I am again with another yummy recipe which I actually meant to include with the recipe in my last posting.� But, as the saying goes�.�better late than never�, so here goes a rice cake type recipe that complements rather well with Sorpotel.� You guessed it:
�SAANAS �Saanas turn out best when prepared with toddy which may not be available to everyone, so I have included both versions of this recipe for those of you that can use toddy (I envy you) and for the rest of you that live in a place where toddy may not be available. WITHOUT TODDY- (still very delicious) Ingredients: 2 cups boiled rice 2 cups raw rice Three quarters of a cup � split while lentils (urad dhal) 1-teaspoon yeast 1-teaspoon sugar 1-cup coconut milk salt to taste Wash and soak each of the first 3 ingredients separately, overnight is preferable.� The next morning, put the dry yeast in a bowl, add about 3 tablespoons of warm water and sprinkle the sugar on top.� Wait till the yeast mixture gets bubbly.� In the meantime, grind both kinds of soaked rice with some of the coconut milk, also, grind the lentils with some of the coconut milk.� Mix the yeast, ground rice and lentils.� Keep covered for 3 hrs in a warm place to allow it to rise.� Grease the saana molds, pour a little of the batter into each mold, and steam on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the saanas get fluffy and look firm. .� Tip:� Insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean, then the saanas are done ******************* � WITH TODDY Ingredients: 2 cups rice 1 coconut, grated Half bottle toddy (Note:� If you live in California I know of a few north Indian stores that sell Sri Lankan toddy in a soda beverage type can), I use about three quarters of a can 1 teaspoon sugar � depends on how sweet you want it to be Salt to taste Wash and soak rice overnight.� Grind the rice and coconut separately with a little toddy each time.� Mix all the ingredients together, using more toddy if needed, to make a thick batter.� Leave the mixture in a warm place for about 4 hours till it ferments and rises.� Grease the saana molds, pour a little of the batter into each mold, and steam on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the saanas get fluffy and look firm. .� Tip:� Insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean, then the saanas are done.� Enjoy!� Happy eating. - Daisy ************************************ September 19, 2003 Here is a recipe that I put together last night: Hope you all had a good week. I had a very nice weekend, we had our new neighbors over for dinner on Friday - I served a delicious desert dish that was quite a hit and they just could not get enough of it, so I thought I�d share this recipe with all of you. I am talking about �Kulfi� � yes, believe it or not, it is extremely easy to prepare. Hope you enjoy it. Happy eating! Kulfi: Mix the following: 1 can of condensed milk (10 to 12oz. Can) 1 can of evaporated milk 1 can of KERNS mango nectar (those of you that are fortunate enough to get fresh mangoes may use 2 or 3 pureed mangoes) Half pound of peeled pistachios � finely chopped 1 tub of cool whip or heavy whip cream (tip: if whipped cream is not available � put heavy cream in a cold steel bowl and beat with a hand mixer until the cream thickens) Mix everything well and put in a glass pyrex dish or an ice cream container � cover well and freeze. Yummy� Ciao everyone, until next week. Take care. Daisy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
