Hi Imjat,

You should definitely, put all the ingredients in cold water and then start boiling. If you boil the water first with the spices, the rice will not be able to absorb the flavor of the spices. Remember, you have to only par cook the rice, which won't take long at all if u add the grains in boiling water. Hope this helps.

Re: Palak Paneer - An Indian Recipe For Cottage Cheese Cooked In Spinach Puree.

Richard, if you bother to read the above recipe carefully, you will realize that your comments are totally baseless. It clearly mentions the recipe for making cottage cheese at home. As a further hint for you please read under the heading 'How to prepare cottage cheese at home?'. This recipe doesn't use fried cheese cubes either. So next time please don't comment by taking just a glance at a recipe, at least read it through. In fact, I have tried this recipe 2 times already and it has turned out very nice. Manila has given an illustrated recipe.

really incomplete recipe, i took one glance at it and noticed that you don't deal with the cottage cheese at all. you just assume that the reader will magically convert store-bought cottage cheese into fried cheese cubes - that is by far the most difficult part of making palak paneer

OK, so the mixer you received as a wedding gift years ago has finally died. So now what? Do you replace it with another hand mixer or do you splurge and get a Kitchenaid Artisan Mixer?

Re: Facts About Fats And Oils In Your Diet

RoyGervase — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:24:03 -0000

When going on a diet, one must not cut down on fats and oil completely. Try to consume olive oil with your salads and to eat a lot of nuts and peanuts because they contain essential oils and proteins. The best way to lose weight is to keep track of your calories intake and burn. This way you can eat whatever you like as long as you exercise enough to burn those calories.

Mike, the amount of water and salt are not a measured amount. Say, if your 500g rice is coming to 1 measure of any bowl you have. Put at least 9-10 measures of that same bowl of water for boiling. To that you add 2 tbsp of salt and stir. Taste that water it should be very salty. If not salty enough, then add some more salt, till that water is a little more than normal salty. This way the rice will absorb that salt, while boiling. Hope this helps.

Re: Garlic Bread recipe And Tomato Bread Recipe - An Awesome Appetizer.

manila — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 07:12:26 -0000

Hi Niti,

Without an oven this will be little tricky but you can try it. I would suggest using a nonstick pan or a tawa. Heat the pan first, then reduce the heat. Place the garlic bread on the tawa and let it cook till it gets crispy at the bottom. If the heat is more then it will get burnt. The butter on the top will obviously melt. As far as the tomato bread goes, just toast the bread will butter and olive oil, in the same way. Then as soon as you remove from the heat, spread the tomato and olive mixture.

Hope it will turn out ok.
