Greetings from my dhaba. Folks - we have embarked on a life-saving mission - FAHC campaign. Here is our invitation to all food and drink lovers from all around the world to participate in this project that can make a positive difference in the lives of many underpriviledged children. Details are here. We welcome you to participate at the group book project - "You Can Cook for FAHC Campaign." Look forward to your contributions.

Today at My Dhaba, we have prepared Onion Pudding/kheer/payasam. Has anyone tasted this before?

What a fabulous picture! The taste must be yummy-yummy. We make mutton-kofthas with my signature recipe, never tried chicken for that. Here is the inspiration. Thank you Grub. We are going to cook it this week. Cheers!

We are celebrating HALWA week, day #2 at My Dhaba. Yesterday was Carrot halwa and today it is Potato halwa, Malai halwa, and Sago halwa. Hope you like these. Cheers!

I have a whole chicken Marcia. I am going to try this today and will let you know how it turned out. Thanks a ton pal.

Here is the recipe details for Gajar ka halwa aka carrot pudding. Hope you would love to make this delicious treat as your dessert for today.

Folks - need help! I have some fresh, large, dark-green, juicy Spinach preserved to prepare something new. Does anyone know how to make Spinach-Chicken? Or any other suggestions to use Spinach and Chicken? Really appreciate your help on this.

How did I miss this blog of yours all these days, Mizducky? Wow! What a wonderful way of blogging at eG! One query for now - what is that LeanCusine packets lying all inside your freezer near frozen strawberries :-) Just curious.

Master Cook is probably what you're looking for. I prefer NutritionData because I only have an occasional need for it and I'm a cheapskate. MC costs $20 and ND is free. Nutrition data had the added benefit of being web based and hence accessible from anywhere. I had about a half dozen ingredients and two or three recipes and my pantry was 3-4% full so it's obviously very limited on space. But you can export ingredients and recipes. It has very complete nutritional information. And you can output a high res graphic summary of the nutritional information in exactly the style that the put on commercially produced packages. I always get a chuckle looking at the nutritional summary that I did for poutine. Also you can't really store recipes - only ingredients. If you only want a nutrional analysis every once in a while and don't need to rely on keeping the results and don't need to store large numbers of recipes and don't need to filter or otherwise organize the recipes then nutriondata.com should be perfect. Otherwise, you may need to pony up the dough for MC. ← Stuart - I instantly fell in love with the graphics and summary. Thanks a ton for sharing this info. COOL site! I am quite inspired by its looks and am going to run this for few recipes of my recipes to see the differences before finalizing my purchase. Thank you once again.

Copsey - thank you very much for this delightful soup recipe. I recently started loving chestnuts and trying it in different forms. A must try.

WOW! Thank you very much everone. I am quite overwhelmed now to see all of your wonderful responses for a simple post on Greens. So many things to learn apart from my niching on traditional Indian home cooking, now I know. I am going to run back and read the posts once again and will get back to you one-on-one to clarify should I have any questions to ask on the recipes that you have mentioned here. So, greens are everyone's favorite healthfood. Isn't it?

My apologies for the delay in replying back my friends. Thank you very much Abra; that looks excellent. I need to get one for myself to see the calories of all my dishes. Thanks a ton once again for enlighening me on this. Doc-G - thank for you the links, quite informative. I am running through the links now and will get back to you should I have something to clarify. Malawry - that was an excellent link, yet to study it well for myself, will let you know the results. Cheers!

Of late, we have been fascinated by the myriad benefits of GREENS. They are a vital source of essential minerals, calcium, and vitamins; all those health protecting elements of food. We are very curious to know all different recipes that you know to eat our greens. Hope you would also agree and share with us about your encounters with your daily greens. Here are three different traditional recipe details to share with you for today - Creamed greens sauce, Amaranth Poreel, and Drumstick leaves fried with eggs. How do you eat your greens? Let's share.

Abra - thank you so much for the info. Really appreciate your kind reply. I did not know about this software and want to go for one. Could you please kindly do these two for me just to see how it works out?

It would be really helpful if you would share the methodologies adopted for calculating calories per serving. Websites which talk about this subject give different values contradicting each other. Are there standard practices, just curious! For example, here are two dishes for which we were trying to calculate calories per serving: Prawns Jalfrezi and Minced meat croquettes. Cheers! Happy holidays!
