Rushina This is just a temporary transition situation. I work at the EU. My daughter's seven and yes my biggest pleasure when we are all in Brussels will be the luxury of spending a lot of time with them. It's not such a punishing schedule (I commute less than some persons I know) Looking forward to your bio. Would love to hear more about you.. a bio perhaps. Your posts always much such pleasurable reading!

Swati - Welcome to the India forum -- looking forward to more posts from you!

eGullets discussion on parsi cuisine is here and here is a brief piece I did on Parsee food For the love of Parsee food enjoy

Anoop -- GOOD is the key word. Not they way they would ladle it on to show prosperity!

I could not agree more on this one. It really tastes bad when this happens!

When I was very young, I remember my grandmother telling her new daughterinlaw that is was a sign of a prosperous household if the ghee bubbled at the top of each dish! Yikes

I meant would you like the recipe.. to prepare it

i actually like (YIKES) broccoli. I season it with a few spices and then deep fry it.. it tastes divine.. Pan -- would you like to try it?

too funny.. I agree BB stale spices would be at the top of my list as well. I think hate the folks who add spices that have been sitting in their cupboards for years and then claim the stuff has not taste!

I am in a mood today. I was talking to a dear friend whose mom in law chided her for the ultimate sin -- tomatoes left floating in her chiken curry Is this a cardinal sin.. are there worse ones do share

I had never seen or heard of it before. What does it taste like? alanamoana -- after reading your post, I doubt i will ever eat one or should I say moppy!

I just got back from a korean grocery store. they had a special on something called black chicken -- it even looks black --- what is it??

I had done a piece a while ago which you might enjoy Rushina - East Views West on an Indian food writers view of the west thru television!

Rushina -- looking forward to reading about your experiences. I would love to know more about you as well.. how about a little bio

Yes -- great information. thanks so much

Thanks all If anyone reading this has a few minute to help and a background as a nutritionist can you please PM me

tryska -- tell me bit more about the yogurt -- in what quantity? is it okay to use it as a marinade for a low carb meal?

I have a question for folks who are on low carb diets -- do you eat two foods in particular -- tomatoes and yogurt. If so in what quantity? IF not, why not... looking for some insight

Thanks! Here is an older thread on Rasam Rasam I believe the Recipe Gullet also has a rasam recipe. Have folks tried to make it -- how did it turn out for you. It is so perfect to prepare in this freezing cold weather that we are having

Mark had done a sweet piece on Biryani today for the NYTIMES Here is the link Under the lid, New Delhi

They are pretty good. I buy a lot of pomfret locally here in VA and its pretty good

Mongo -- very funny I think what he means is seekhs or skewers.

Not at all. I have tons of stuff for you to look at! I will PM you shortly

I second that! Mongo -- what fish do you like here in the US?
