I'm especially curious about the Methi Dal - I'll have to see if I can find fresh Fenugreek leaves around here. I have a whole box of dried ones I have no idea how to use - any ideas?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1141199039543658132006-03-01T02:43:00.001-05:002006-03-01T02:43:00.001-05:00Am back..I meant 'homemaker'...*LOL*Am back..I meant 'homemaker'...*LOL*sailuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762075996699855205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1141198990655126982006-03-01T02:43:00.000-05:002006-03-01T02:43:00.000-05:00You would put any Indian homemake to shame with th...You would put any Indian homemake to shame with that dal.Excellent,cathy.Coming from someone who is new to Indian Cuisine..Wow!<BR/>Maybe you should check out this Lentil Stew called <A HREF="http://indiacuisine.blogspot.com/2005/11/idli-sambar-steamed-rice-cakes-with.html" REL="nofollow">'Sambar'</A> ,a fenugreek leaves dal curry called <A HREF="http://indiacuisine.blogspot.com/2005/11/menthi-kura-pappu-methi-dalfenugreek.html" REL="nofollow">'Methi Dal'</A> and another type of lentil (Bengal Gram Dal) which is a stirfry called <A HREF="http://indiacuisine.blogspot.com/2005/12/senaga-pappu-menthu-kura-fenugreek_15.html" REL="nofollow">Methi Channa Dal</A> for more ideas.Just some suggestions so that you have some idea of how the dal recipes differ from region to region within our country..:)sailuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762075996699855205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127466319682764412005-09-23T05:05:00.000-04:002005-09-23T05:05:00.000-04:00Ooooh...you just turned me onto another great food...Ooooh...you just turned me onto another great food blog. I went to check out Nupur's site - GREAT STUFF! I've only recently taken an interest in cooking indian dishes at home as opposed to dining out at restaurants. Thanks for this very informative post on your experiments with indian cuisine. Now I'll have to see if I can find a good indian grocery supply around here!<BR/><BR/>P.S.

They've started carrying many of these ingredients in the two regular grocery stores that I frequent, but there are still a few things I need to visit an Indian grocery for. Fortunately there are several nearby, so I don't have any trouble finding what I need. I haven't tried the sprouted lentils yet, but hope to soon.<BR/><BR/>Hi AG - thanks! It's funny - I noticed that meme a few days ago on a non-food blog and out of curiousity went and figured out what sentence that would be in my blog. I should have made note of it, because I've forgotten already! Anyway, the meme sounds easy enough so I should be able to get it done this weekend.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127386166470311642005-09-22T06:49:00.000-04:002005-09-22T06:49:00.000-04:00CathyI'm also a fan of Nupur's blog and I'm enjoyi...Cathy<BR/>I'm also a fan of Nupur's blog and I'm enjoying her series. When I saw the recipe for Amti I thought I would try it. Like you I will have to make a trip to the Indian food store. Your picture of Amti looks delicious and now I will try my own version soon. Like you, I love beans.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for mentioning the Pan Fried Sprouted Lentils. I did not know about it and I'm sure going to try it (minus the chili powder, of course - my only problem with Indian food - I really do not like "hot" spices). I'm also going to try the sprouting Nupur's way. Have been considering purchasing one of the so-called "contraptions". Well, maybe I don't need to.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804076620255719859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127381941894288732005-09-22T05:39:00.000-04:002005-09-22T05:39:00.000-04:00hi cathy, that looks awesome, as always...what a t...hi cathy, that looks awesome, as always...what a terrific idea...re:maida heatter brownies; i especially like her palm beach brownies from the book of great chocolate desserts. they are insanely rich tho'...Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620313183747360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127355087276267752005-09-21T22:11:00.000-04:002005-09-21T22:11:00.000-04:00Hi Nupur - thank you!!

(And you're welcome!)<BR/><BR/>Hi Meena - thanks for the invite, but I have trouble keeping up with all the events these days as it is - actually, I don't keep up!

What a clever idea!! I'm sure there will be many I'd like to try, too.<BR/><BR/>(And funny you should mention meeting me on the CLBB...I have made the recipe you posted there for melon sorbetto so many times!! I thought about emailing you and thanking you for posting it after I made it with both cantaloupe and watermelon a few weeks ago. I suppose I should have, but it's not too late...Thank You!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127313162170715532005-09-21T10:32:00.000-04:002005-09-21T10:32:00.000-04:00Aw, Nupur is so sweet!This looks great, though, Ca...Aw, Nupur is so sweet!<BR/>This looks great, though, Cathy.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456007322213045872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1127298502950350342005-09-21T06:28:00.000-04:002005-09-21T06:28:00.000-04:00Cathy that looks beautiful!
