DAILY EATING DOSA AND IDLI BORING FOR MY

 DAUGHTERS... WHAT TO DO..... SO MADE A DIFERENT 

TYPE OF BUN.... AWWW YUMMY TUMMY FULL

All purpose flour/maida 2 cup
Yeast 1 teaspoon
Sugar 1 teaspoon
Water 4 tbsp
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Vegetable oil 2 tbsp
Ingredients for the stuffing:
Chili Garlic Dip 2 tbsp
Mozzarella cheese grated 1/2 cup
Capsicum grated 1/4 cup
Carrot grated 1/4 cup
Garlic chopped 1 tbsp
Onion chopped 1
Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon
Oregano herbs 1/2 teaspoon

Method:
1. In a small bowl, add lukewarm water, yeast and sugar. Keep it aside for 10 minutes or till the foam floating on the top as shown below in the image. In a broad bowl, add flour, vegetable oil, salt and yeast-sugar mixture.
2. Mix it well. Add a little water at a time and knead the flour well to make the soft and elastic dough.
3. Cover the dough with wet muslin cloth and keep it aside for 1-2 hours or till the dough gets double in the size.
4. Keep all the ingredients ready for stuffing. Grease the baking pan with oil and dust with the flour.
5. Knead the flour again and make a ball. Dust with some flour and roll it into a circle of 10-12 inches in diameter.
6. Apply tomato onion gravy on the rolled dough.(I made the usual tomato onion gravy with garlic)
7. Put carrot, capsicum, cheese, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, oregano herbs on the rolled dough.
8. Fold it from sideways and then roll it over. This will prevent the filling from coming out from the sides.
9. Put the rolled dough into a greased baking mould. Pre-heat the microwave oven of the convection mode at 170C.
10. Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 170C for 35-40 minutes. Take out the baked bread from the oven, apply some butter and let it cool at the room temperature. Cut it into the slices. Delicious pizza bun is ready to serve

 UP OF HAVING POTATO CHIPS FROM SHOP... I TEACH 

HOW TO MAKE AT HOME....

Raw Rice 2 cups, Sabudana – ½ cup, Chilli pd – 3 tsp, Black Til seeds – 2 tsp, Hing – 1 tsp, Salt to taste

Method : Soak the Rice and Sabudana in water separately for 4/5 hrs. Grind them to a smooth paste. Add salt and keep it in a warm place to ferment over night or for 6/7 hrs.

When ready to make - Take a portion of this batter in another bowl add the chilli pd, hing, black til seeds, and required water and mix well. The consistency should be of little thinner to Dosa Batter.

Keep a vessel with water in which you can place the Thallu Vadam stand. Now pour a spoon full of this batter on the plates of Thallu vadam and spread it over the plate leaving space at the ends . Arrange these plates in the stand and keep it in the vessel with water to cook. It will take 5 mins to cook. Once cooked remove and allow to cool. With the help of knife remove each of the vadam from the plates and keep it in another plate. Drizzle Til oil over and serve hot .

Note : I have used white til seeds as I donot like the taste of black til seeds.

மும்பையில் சேவை செய்வதில் முதன்மையாக ஒரு தமிழ் பெண்மணி

மும்பையில் சேவை செய்வதில் முதன்மையாக ஒரு                                 தமிழ் பெண்மணி

          மும்பையில் சேவை செய்வதில் முதன்மையாக ஒரு தமிழ்                                       பெண்மணி - கீதா ஸ்ரீதர் 

மும்பை மட்டுங்கா பகுதியில் தனது இரு பெண் பிள்ளைகள், கணவருடன் வசித்து வரும் தமிழ் பெண் கீதா ஸ்ரீதர் அவர்கள் செய்து வரும் சமூகப்பணிகள் அளப்பரியது. அவரை எனது நட்பாக அடைந்ததில் மிகவும் பெருமை கொள்கிறேன். சரி திருமதி கீதா ஸ்ரீதர் அவர்கள் செய்து வரும் சேவைகள் தான் என்ன? 

கடந்த ௨௨  ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் திருமணம் ஆகி மும்பைக்கு குடியேறிய பின்பு மும்பையில் ஒரு தனியார் பள்ளியில் பணிக்கு அமர்ந்தார் இயற்கையிலேயே குழந்தைகள் மேல் அளப்பரிய பாசம் உள்ளவரான கீதா அவர்கள் பள்ளியில் பணிக்கு அமர்ந்தது ஆச்சரியம் இல்லை, கல்விப்பணி செய்து வந்த அவருக்கு மும்பையில் சிறு சிறு குழந்தைகள் கேன்சர் நோயால் அவதிப்படுவது கண்டு மன உருகினார் அன்றில் இருந்து எங்கு குழந்தைகள் கேன்சரால் அவதிப்பட்டாலும் ஓடோடி சென்று உதவ துவங்கினார் அந்த சேவை மனப்பான்மை மென் மேலும் விரிவடைந்து புற்று நோயால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட குழந்தைகள் இருந்த ஒரு இல்லம் நோக்கி திரும்பியது அந்த இல்லத்திற்கு உதவி செய்ய துவங்கி இன்று அங்குள்ள குழந்தைகளுக்கு உணவு தேவைகளை தனது சொந்த செலவில் பூர்த்தி செய்கிறார், மட்டுமல்லாது ஞாயிறு விடுமுறை நாளன்று மட்டும் தனது கையால் தானே சமைத்து அந்த குழந்தைகளுக்கு உணவளித்து வருகிறார், மழை அடித்தாலும் புயல் அடித்தாலும் அவரது இந்த சேவை ஒரு நாளும் நிறுத்துவது இல்லை என்பது குறிப்பிட தக்கது.

புற்றுநோய் பாதித்த குழந்தைகளுக்கு உதவுவதோடு நில்லாமல் மனபிறழ்வு நோய் உள்ள குழந்தைகளுக்கும் தொண்டாற்றி வருகிறார், அவர்களுக்கான விழிப்புணர்வு நிகழ்ச்சிகளை தானே முன்னின்று நடத்தியும் வருகிறார் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. இத்தனை சேவைகளை செவ்வனே செய்து வரும் இவருக்குள் சமையல் கலை திறனும் அபரிதமாய் இருக்கிறது சமையல் சார்ந்த பல நிகழ்ச்சிகளில் கலந்து கொண்டு வெற்றி வாகை சூடி இருக்கிறார், அது குறித்து மற்றொரு தனிப்பதிவில் சொல்கிறேன்.
