I normally fry spring onions and add a loose paste of pepper and broken chana (pottu kadalai. It tastes yum but I suddenly bored of it.<br />Any ideas for a toddler's breakfast (1 yr and 4 months). Both baby and I are bored of idlies! We tried maggi today with just a li'll bit of the masala. Not bad!

Actually I faced no such problem...but the only difference is that i used a non-stick pan as indicated in the recipe, which is why it did not get messy...and you should not get that 'raw / uncooked' taste in the end...it will be of a 'koozhu' / porridge consistency in the end, but surely cooked. Next time you can try dry roasting the besan for 3-4 minutes till pink and then try it out...or you could make a dry version of the same curry.<BR/><BR/>Start with the same procedure upto sauteeing the spring onions. Then add dry roasted besan to the mix. The wetness in the onions will absorb most of the besan, coating them totally. Then on a low flame, you can keep roasting the besan coated spring onions, adding some more oil during the procedure..it will give you a crispy dry curry, without the sticky texture. You can also add green bell peppers or shredded cabbage in the above method instead of or in addition to spring onions. <BR/><BR/>Hope I have been of help. <BR/><BR/></I>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343211073306086159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-61230857457299357972008-03-18T06:36:00.000+05:302008-03-18T06:36:00.000+05:30Hi I tried this recipe since it sounded so easy bu...Hi I tried this recipe since it sounded so easy but even though I tried cooking for 20-30 mins i still get a strong the taste of besan from the dish (not sure if that is how it is supposed to taste - you may say what was I thinking making a besan dish without tasting of besan). It almost feels like tasting the batter used for pakodas (well an exageration there but almost true). Is zunka supposed to taste so I have no idea of Marathi dishes? Is there any way to remove the over-powering taste of besan i don't think i can cook anymore the gravy is extremely thick and starting to stick on the bottom of the pan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-1152505110295828742006-07-10T09:48:00.000+05:302006-07-10T09:48:00.000+05:30You are on that one, there was recently a news fea...You are on that one, there was recently a news feature that said that exports of pulses/ grains have been reduced considerably to fulfil the internal demand, we are actually importing more foodgrains in India.
