TANDOOR....At "Sadde Punjab Da Sanjha Chulha "

[Pammi Randhawa]

Hi Mr. Nichiro,

What ash-970 said is correct. The silken feel of Pancha Ratan dal comes from Urad dal. My mom would throw in thick malai on top for me . She did this as she thought I was very thin. At 13 or 14, I was
5.4 and weighed healthy 55 kgs. But in her eyes, I was thin.
All mothers are like that.

Hi Anita,
Methinks u are right. From now on, I'd give measurement in cups also .

Hi Minni and Mr. Tomato,

What both of u said is correct. Atleast people must write something like,
I saw this recipe in a magazine or wrote from a relative or mom or if it is from the www, then say from net and try to give the link to that site.
Simple ack wud do.
If we aren't honest to this extent, we can't expect the world to be honest. That includes one's children too.

No one is born with recipes in their C drive.
Not my Sardar brain also ...and that's for sure
All of us learn and implement. When we improvise, add and create somethin new, then its different. But adopting shortcuts with long scissors and using cyber fevicol , is out right criminal and is an attack on intellectual property of someone.
Phew.......
Hope I'm ok on this guys.

Hello Pammi,
How I missed your posting ?
You do have a good sense of humour. But I agree that it is an not proper to fringe one's intellectual property.

maybe you shouldn't be woried about the truck drivers.....


A latex containing several important alkaloids is obtained from immature seed capsules one to three weeks after flowering. Incisions are made in the walls of the green seed pods, and the milky exudation is collected and dried. Opium and the isoquinoline alkaloids morphine, codeine, noscapine, papaverine, and thebaine are isolated from the dried material. The poppy seeds and fixed oil that can be expressed from the seed are not narcotic, because they develop after the capsule has lost the opium-yielding potential.

Hope that puts your mind at rest
cheers

Hello Wazza,
My experience says Poppy seeds are mildly narcotic and the dried poppy pod tea is habit forming.

Hello Pammi,

By Garam Masal, do you mean any Garam Masala or would you suggest that we should use only Punjabi Garam Masala?
I think there is a zammen aasaman difference between usual Garam Masalas like Ashok, Badshah etc and MDH garam Masala.
Please let me know. I would like to request you to post Pujabi Garam Masala recipe at your convenience.

Toor dhall and Mung dals have different cooking requirements in terms of time. Would not Mung dhall become too soft/mashed up by the time Toor dhall gets cooked?

Hello Pammi,
Tried the panch ratan dal today. Came out delicious. I believe that punjabi garam masala is a bit diff, but since I did not have it I used my home made garam masala pow instead. But would really appreciate if u could post the recipe for the 'punjabi G masala ' as well. AlSo I did not have amchur pow on hand so put a tsp of lime juice instead. Still the taste was great. Looking fwd to more recipes from U.
