I feel like trying out this easy mysore pak, but I think I would roast besan on a pan-stove top method. Then proceed the rest in the microwave.
RP, I kept it at 40% power & roasted it... You have to mix it every min or so in the beginning & more freq towards the end.. But even then mine had the raw smell...
Let us know the result if u try it...

Thank you!

I don't think they are the same.
The common name is Swiss Chard.
The botanical name is beta vulgaris cicla
Tamil name is sencheerai.
Here is a picture of red Swiss Chard.

Thanks Kavitha. Is Swiss Chard available in our region-M'sia/Spore? Would you know the Malay name by any chance..?
Thanks again Kavitha.

Well Shoba, I asked around my friends, none seems to know the name in Malay. Some say that its like the Chinese sawi. The stem will be thick and white in colour, while the leaves will be crinkled green in colour. Sorry I am not able to help you.
I also understand that Swiss Chard is a western vege. Thanks.

Thanks Kavitha, thanks Anoushka for trying.
Here's another one: Is Mustard Greens same as Kadugu Keerai? I have bought Mustard Greens here in Singapore and there are 2 different varieties- One looks like a thick skinned, curled up cabbage which is from China and the other one is more like a leafy green vegetable with straight stalks. Problem is, I dont know whether this leafy green veg is indeed Kadugu Keerai :P .
Any help in English, Malay, Chinese, Tamil & Malayalam would be greatly appreciated !

Shoba I found this in the net.
In Malay the swiss chard is known as daunbit.
Chard
Chard is most commonly recognized by gardeners and commercial growers as a tall stalky green known as Swiss Chard. Chard is actually a variety of beet, but the leafy greens don’t really resemble their tubular cousins. The Japanese chard, called “fudanso” in Japan, is also known as leaf beet, spinach beet, leaf chard, or perpetual spinach. This shorter stalked variety has glossy deep green leaves that are slightly waved with small mid ribs. This chard is tastiest when harvested young and the leaves are tender and mild flavored. Fudanso is an excellent choice for baby greens in salads and stir-fry. In Japan, the vegetable is most commonly parboiled and then soaked in water to remove some of the acrid taste. Fudanso does well in cool season planting, but can also withstand heat, making this hearty green a good choice for growing from spring to winter.
