[selvieam]

suvai,
sure we will follow ur advice. i also marked the attendance.
as u said salad is a super meal, u try this with soup, u will feel heavy. only thing we have to give slight variation every time. we r having this type of salad for past 3 years in the night. afternoon is full of greens. so we dont feel bored.

[selvieam]

suvai and aarthi,

this will taste like badam kheer.

here is the aloo-carrot kheer:
-----------------------------

potato - 1,small size, peel and cut in to cubes
carrot - 1, small size, cut into cubes

pressure cook both for 1 whistles.

once it comes to room temperature grind it in the mixie nicely. this will come like urad dhal, keep grinding u will get more quantity. make sure there should be no lumps.

blanch 5 - 10 almonds, 5 - 10 cashews and grind to a fine paste. now mix both the paste (veg and nuts)

in a heavy bottom vessel add 1 ltr of full cream milk (whole milk) and allow it to boil.

Add 1 grated carrot to the boiling milk. let it boil for 5 minutes.

now add sugar, according to our taste. (instead of using full sugar we can even use condensed milk and little sugar). let it boil for 5 minutes.

Add ground pastes and allow it to boil nicely. little elachi powder, coarsely ground cashews - 2 tblsp.

let it boil for 5 minutes, cool it and store in the refrigerator.

we can make this previous day and refrigerate. this should be served cold.

when we drink in between we will bite carrot, nuts. It is very easy to make and very tasty too.

try this and let me know.
