Direcciones
- I purchased the cookbook in an Indian grocery story in Portland, Oregon. It is titled, "Rasachandrika, Saraswat Cookery Book, by the Saraswat Mahila Samaz of Bombay. Nearly all of the book is vegetarian. It's just full of short recipes.
- 1. Wash and cook dal in the cooker till very soft. Beat it well.
- 2. Add in salt, jaggery, turmeric pwdr, chillies and water to bring it to the required liquid consistency. Cook till the dal comes to a boil.
- 3. Heat oil, and prepare a seasoning with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves. (This means to fry them a little, till the mustard seeds pop.) Add in it to the dal.
- 4. Lastly add in the coriander leaves . (Note in the book: this varan should be sweet and sour to taste.)
