Sonu thanks for your tips for adding beetroot to the juice.

I just cannot swallow soaked fenugreek seeds.
So I will pop in the seeds and gulp it down with the juice.

A radish chutney I tried yday... this recipe is from a
book named
'tamilar samayal" by Subbulakshmi Sivamathi. So tasty that ppl won't believe it's made using radish.

Radish chutney:

grate 1 medium radish. Saute in 1 tsp oil till 3/4th done. Add 4 tbsp coconut & fry till radish is cooked well. Set aside to cool.

heat 1 tsp oil. fry small asafoetida piece, 2 red chillies, 1 tbsp urad-channa dhal & let it turn golden. Grind it along with small gooseberry sized tamrind(or less),salt to a coarse pwd. Add the radish-coconut mix & grind to a coarse paste adding lil water if req.

Heat 1 tsp oil. Splutter mustard. Add 1 chopped tomato, 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves & fry till pulpy. Add a sprig of curry leaves torn & mix well. Add the chutney, mix well & take off flame imme.

Goes well with rice, dosai & chapathi.

[tscii]Aarthii while I was in US, my sis-in-law used to buy this tomato salsa by jars. Its nice to dip in the corn tortilla chips and eat.
I told her that I will try and make my own sauce after eating it.
The sauce turned out so well that she too does not buy it anymore.
You can use little of this sauce for your pasta.

Aarthii the penne pasta will swell big after boiling.
Try buying the elbows, or small types of the pasta.
Here is the recipe:


TOMATO SALSA

Ingredients:
8 red ripe tomatoes
2 capsicum cut into cubes
5 green chillies chopped
4 garlic pips chopped
1 onion chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp sugar
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tbs of olive oil
1 tsp fresh or dried parsley

Method:
Steam the tomatoes and make a coarse puree of it.
Heat a wok with the olive oil, add in chopped garlic,
onions, capsicum, green chillies and sauté well.

Now add in the pureed tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper,
And stir nicely, once the raw smell goes, add in the lemon juice
and the parsley. Stir well and remove.
Now you can serve with nachos, tacos and corn tortilla chips.

[Madhu Sree]

Madhu, oats onnum recipe illain nga.

I just cook the oats with plain water, no salt as there will be wee bit salt in the oats. Then I will add little veges that I have cooked or pour in little kulambu that I have cooked , and take it for breakfast.
It will be nice to eat with puli kulambu and so on.
I take oats 3 times a week.

Madhu, every morning I will take a glass of juice, made up of green apple, capsicum, bitter gourd, celery and cucumber.

I will also swallow a tsp of cleaned fenugreek seeds with the juice.
It helps in my bowel system as well good for diabetic.

Thanks, Kugan98
