any Indian Grocery store) and fry them in a pan
with very little oil. Add some Asfotedia for aroma. Put about 2 table
spoons of channa dal.( I forgot the quantity earlier). Then grind them
coarsely on a blender, remember the channa dal should not be in whole
pieces.) Keep this aside for garnishing.
2) Take a freshly broken coconut and grate them up for about 2 cups.
3) Cook white rice in a cooker, add less water than actually written in
the instructions. Cook about 4 cups of it, add 6 cups of water to it. I
prefer Adolphus brand Long Grain white rice.
4) In a frying pan put about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat
it. Put some mustard seeds and let it burst, then add a little
turmeric powder. To this add 1 teaspoon of Channa Dal and Urad Dal and
fry till golden yellow. Add some finely split red chillies and green
chillies as required. Then add in the grated coconut and stir for
about 10 secs. Then add the rice to this mixture away from the fire and
mix thoroughly. Add salt to taste. Add 2 teaspoons of seasoning
mixture to the rice and stir. If you could lay your hands on some
coconut oil add a teaspoonful for aroma. Garnish with some freshly cut
Celantro leaves and some bay leaves.
5) This is ready to be served with chips or pickle as side dish. Or
you can make come chatni by grinding finely some coconut with green
chillies and celantro with water for consistency. Add salt to taste.
PS:
Add 1 teaspoon of chilli powder when frying the items if you could not make
the seasoning powder.
Reduce the number of chillies used if you want it to be less hot.
Reduce the amount of oil initially while frying if you want it less fattening.
Try this recipe and let me know the results.
Bye.

I make a strawberry/banana pie thats very simple.
2 Bananas sliced
1 1/2 qt strawberries sliced
(reserve at least 2 of the biggest ones for garnish)
Graham cracker crust
Strawberry Glaze
To save time I usually buy the crust and the glaze. But you can get
the recipe for the crust off the back of a graham cracker box. As far
as the glaze goes maybe someone on the net has a recipe for this. I
just find it easier to use it from the store. It's mostly made of
sugar. It can usually be found next to the Strawberries.
Start with the bananas and layer them on the bottom, then layer the
strawberries on top. Continue doing this until the pie is full.
Pour the glaze on top so it covers the pie and the fruit on the bottom
is covered. For a small pie just 1 jar of glaze
