You know during the Roti Mela, I wanted to make many varieties and learn more but unfortunately only 25 found its way to the Mela. But one most predominantly missing entry that was quite common at home, was this Ragi Roti. The other day I was looking at the previous posts and the archives I have, something struck me very strange. Yea the fact that there wasn't a post on Ragi Roti. Ragi flour is so

The weekend has been one swing of cooking and I finally prepare many that were pending for a long time. This dish, though I had read about it a long time ago, didn't know what its called and whose specialty it is.

Sometimes when I'm going about my daily chores and work it suddenly hits me that "this is something I should blog about!" and this is another one of them!I keep a container of flour in my cupboard just above my KitchenAid mixer and the counter where I do most of my mixing and baking. In this container of 'flour' I typically use an unbleached all purpose flour or a bread flour mixed with a mixtur

Many many years ago when I was still working, my friend brought me to Alexandra Market and ordered this Flour Vermicelli. It's unlike what we usually take which requires the use of chopsticks. The vermicelli is all crushed and all you need is a spoon and the soup is in thick form.In Chinese, it's called 面线糊. It's kind of like what Shihlin has but I had this many year before Shihlin came to Singapore and I have not been to Taiwan either. So to me this was the original.I had no idea how it was done but I came up with my own verison. The idea came from the Little Bowl Fins. This is also one of my Saturday dinner because it is fast and easy to cook. But be warned. The vermicelli will expand so it's advisable to cook this when you are ready to eat.Ingredients:2 bunch of Rice Vermicelli, c

Ghanaians will soon eat bread made from cassava flour, when a project to produce composite flour takes off in the country.Composite flour consists of 20% of hybrid cassava flour and 80% of wheat, and does not reduce the quality of the flour.The use of cassava flour in the production of bread is one of the measures instituted by government to contain the current food crisis facing the world.Research has been done on the use of cassava flour with wheat flour for the production of bread, but legislation to enable flour mills to implement the process would soon be passed.Ghana does not produce wheat but bread produced from wheat flour is a large part of the diet of many Ghanaians.

Thank God, my weekend alone is over. I have to say, as weekends go, this one sucked more than usual. This was going to be my first time to sleep in (even just a little) since the time changed last weekend. But did I get to sleep in??? Hell, NO!PS: Would anyone like to purchase a cat? He's a fine cat, a great mouser, very personable. His only fault is that he gets lonely when his children are gone and then feels the need to suck on ones pajamas and purr loudly at 6 AM. No amount of cursing and physical abuse will deter him. (Interested takers, contact me soon.) OK, have any of you people happened to meander into a store to buy flour lately? Dammit, I just have to buy a bag of flour for the first time in three weeks, and it's like the world has suddenly gone crazy. IT COSTS TWICE AS MUCH AS

I have confessed my addiction to Dosas in my dear blog, many a sunny posts. But I guess, I have never really tried to proclaim the love I have for Pizzas. Its just like those yummy dishes which you just visualize, with a wink of an eye and the whole panorama becomes real in your eyeball. When I think of Pizza, all I need to do is same. And I get all worked up. I never indulged in that exercise, for the simple reason that I will not really be able to get that in real. The many days spent in kneading and punching down a pizza base and lovely spreading the thick succulent spicy sauce and then topping with loads of cheesy cheese and digging my teeth in it, my, just thinking about it, makes me long for a bite now. I have, each and everytime, burnt myself when I, in a haste to taste it, dig int

Nothing says Christmas like baking cookies to give to friends and then eating them yourself. Val baked some incredible! walnut praline shortbread cookies for the folks where I work. Unfortunately, Val’s down with a nasty virus and those cookies will *gasp* need to be eaten or they’ll become stale. Right? I mean… while my wife’s upstairs sick in bed, I have to keep up with kitchen messes and those cookies… well… they just needed to go. So, I stopped typing, went downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed the cannister. Then I ate them. Two dozen of the little suckers. Nice. Once the sugar rush wears off, I’ll be able to post more intelligently. Good news is this: before Val went down for the count, she joined baking911.com. Paid the premium, ladies and gentlemen. Which means what? Bigger better baked bonuses for me! She keeps saying she wants to make a burnt sugar cake or something like that.

Porém, o perfume que liberta durante a última fase de cozedura pode levar a que os mais incautos devorem esta "beldade" assim que a máquina de

Fazer pão sem glúten, não é fácil! O desafio deste pão de arroz é o seguinte: dada a presença do fermento num ambiente quente, o pão cresce rapidamente, mas como a farinha de arroz não contém "o amigo" glúten que sustente o seu crescimento, ele colapsa se crescer demasiado.

Lord Ganesha, the elephant-faced Indian God is famous in Indian and non-Indian households alike! Even my Chinese and American colleagues believe in his divine power. The symbol of prosperity, happiness, and success, legend says that praying to Ganpati with a true heart can solve all your troubles or problems. Stories about miracles created by this iconzed idol have been experienced in many households, and on this auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi, millions of people in India would be following a tradition of ganesh puja for 10 days.

This is his favourite dish, so I'm vouching on peace and prosperity in our house after serving him these!!

Many people eat bread as part of a staple diet without thinking anything of it. Here's an article that will bring you up to speed. Don't know your wholemeal from your wholegrain? You will after you've read this!WhiteWhite bread is like the shell of a nut – it's had all the goodness taken out. "That basically means the wheatgerm and bran are removed," explains MH nutritionist Carina Norris, author of You Are What You Eat, the meal planner that will change your life. Because of its low nutritional value, white bread has to be fortified with calcium, iron and B vitamins - this is a legal stipulation.The goodness you get: "Four slices of white bread a day supply you with around a sixth of your recommended calcium and up to a third of your iron intake," says Norris. It also contains vitamin B1 and thiamine, which are essential for healthy nerve and muscle function. But use your loaf and avoid white bread if you can, as there are much better options available.Best white sliced: Hovis

Today's Gaza update presents a picture that is downright cheerful. Crowds looting Fatah strongholds down to the last flowerpot, triumphant extremists bragging and crowing in the streets, and even a joking fanatic. And they only threw one guy off a rooftop, so that's very considerate of them, I think: At Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' captured seaside office in Gaza City, a gunman sat down at the Fatah leader's desk, picked up the phone and pretended to be calling Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "Hello, Rice?" the gunman said. "Here we are in Abu Mazen's office. Say hello to Abu Mazen for me." Other gunmen rifled through Abbas' belongings in a bedroom behind the office, lifting up a mattress and searching through drawers. Somebody call Comedy Central, we have a new find here. "Today everybody is with Hamas because Hamas won the battle. If Fatah had won the battle they'd be with Fatah. We are a hungry people, we are with whoever gives us a bag of flour and a food coupon

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Do you know what they use to bleach white flour? A chemical called alloxin - and it is the stuff they use to create diabetes in lab rats.How much white flour are you eating? It really should not be in your diet at all because of the high glycemic index. But if you must use white flour, be sure to use UNBLEACHED white flour. Hodgson's Mill has a good brand of this flour, or you can find it at your local health food store.It really is better not to be a lab rat that they are giving alloxin to create diabetes!Martha
