So, Medha is afraid of daddy cooking, and(or?...LOL. So, Medha is afraid of daddy cooking, and(or?) mommy driving. Did I get it right?<BR/><BR/>Regarding the plantains, I choose firm green ones without bruises if it is for vegetable dishes/curries. I make a side dish with it(look for mezhukkupuratti in Ammini’s book). Green plantains are good when combined with shrimps. And don’t forget about the yummy plantain chips. If it is for sweet dishes, I pick semi ripe ones and let them ripen inside a paper bag in my pantry. A few times, I have bought fully ripe ones from stores, but they were not that sweet. Maybe they need to ripen at room temperature. Semi ripe plantains can be used to make kaalan. Sometimes I find them in Indian stores, sometimes in Kroger or Walmart. But most of the times, not good in quality.<BR/><BR/>Is that tomato chutney for me(jihva)? I am afraid I didn’t get it in the mail. Did you send it?Mrs. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029529410425401802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-40842744568496150352007-03-31T13:10:00.000-06:002007-03-31T13:10:00.000-06:00You can check out any time you like, but you can n...You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...<EM>that applies to the blogosphere too, </EM><STRONG>Nabeela</STRONG><EM>.
