    Vegetable Kofta Curry

    Sky is blue, Tomatoes are red, Milk is white, and Hairs are black…well this was what my son knew about colors of things that he sees, in day to day life. He was taught that cabbage is light green, capsicums are dark green, cauliflower is pale white and tomatoes are big and red (or sometimes greenish red). Every 7 year old kid knows at least these basics about colours. But when he chanced upon a big purple cabbage, a red and a yellow colored capsicum, dark green cauliflower (broccoli) he was amused. Then he also confused cherry tomatoes with Cherries,…

    China Grass

      China Grass  or Agar Agar is nothing but a Vegetable ‘gelatine’ derived from a number of seaweeds (Gelidium amansii) which are processed by boiling and drying. Agar-agar is used as a quick-setting base for many sweets and desserts in Asia. Refrigerators are a luxury many people in Asia do not have, and agar-agar’s chief advantage is that it will set without refrigeration and not melt down in tropical heat. It is also used as a finishing glaze.(Source Asia Food Glossary ) It is available in powdered form or as dried strands.While using strands ,always cut the strands into small…
