I was to cook something that's her favourite and she chose 'quinoa' and even though I don't like quinoa/couscous etc, I did it just for Impy. Quinoa is the recent "healthy substitute" for rice, I hear.

I will continue to make my upma/pulav/thayir sadam with rice. No substitutes for me.

by Guest Fri Nov 23, 2012 7:37 pm

bw could you post the recipe of the dish for me? thanks.

How do you make upma with rice?

by Impedimenta Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:37 am

thank you! i am obsessed with quinoa everything these days:-) recipe please.
BTW, even thanksgiving dinner included quinoa salad:-) i know, pathetic! but there was the turkey, stuffing and gravy along with pumpkin pie and apple pie with home made ice cream. had a wonderful two days. i took a picture of the table setting but it has people in the frame, people who are too damn sexy for this forum. So, will share it with you later.

the bond movie sucked. watched it yesterday -- the stunts were lame, they made bond a whimpering buffoon, and the sex and women were marginal at best.

why is it in this thread? well this thread is addressed to someone who thinks daniel craig is hot hot hot. so just to get their attention.

by Impedimenta Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:46 am

LOL max, its all in the mind. BTW, i have a latest obsession. move over daniel craig. no, RDJ stays put. the man is GOD.

judi dench and javier bardem were good.

PS : i hate you max and you know why. you owe me something that has youtube written all over it.

by Impedimenta Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:48 am

BW, how do you cook quinoa. pressure cook it? or soak and stove top?

haha, good comeback. but paneer and rice, two very different levels of comparison. dairy vs grains. paneer is just a type of many dairy products one consumes in a day, or can totally do without too for days. rice/grains is a more basic and essential part of ones daily diet.

paneer in a dosa, good/bad variation/fusion depending on how u like it. but in tn, rice is already in abundance, from what i know. dosa, idli, tamarind rice, lemon rice, yogurt rice, this rice, that rice.... and then comes upma, THAT too of rice... that's too much rice.

arisi upma is not an everyday thing. more like once every couple of months. and it's delicious. like many human beings, i associate comfort food with warm childhood memories. to me red (the color due to dried red chilies) arisi upma is filled with warm memories of my paternal grandmother.

we? as in mr. ram, ganpat and you? so how does this work? you hand him a recipe and then make suggestions for him to tinker with? you sort of hover in the background making "helpful" comments, while he is actually engaged in the act of mixing, grinding, ladling, and spreading? very curious.

oops sorry missed the missus in the original post. still how does it work with mr. GR?

ya, it's the missus now. ganpat is on leave. when he is around, i usually narrate the process and quantities to my wife. if it's a youtube video, we (ganpat, wife and i) watch it together. then missus writes down the proportions for ganpath if the recipe is complicated (else rote). sometimes when ganpat cooks, i oversee out of curiosity.

Rekz wrote:HK- U need to post Ganpat Ram's pic

ha ha ha. he is on leave. let him come back. Smile

he's a young fella -- 28/29, recently married.

i just washed it a few times and cooked it on stove top. no soaking. 1 cup quinoa with ~1.5 cups of water and salt, cooked it for about 12 minutes till all water was absorbed and quinoa soft.

i followed this recipe loosely - i added onions and garlic and also coriander powder and a dash of chilli powder to the vegetables. in addition, i garnished with some spring onions.

thank you BW. my friend said she pressure cooked hers but i found that to be a bit soggy. will try the stove top method.

because it is not an "ai" ending. there is a one-to-one correspondence between the "E" ending in kannada and "ai" ending in tamil. i think we have discussed this a few times before. dosai is not dosa in kannada like it is in other indian languages; in fact it is dosE.

i don't know how these things evolved in other languages, but my theory about the E-ai correspondence between kannada and tamil, works here too consistently. it is vadE in kannada as you might expect.

The theory that u gave abt the E-ai correspondence between kannada and tamil is crap. It's vadA, not vadE. Adding 'ai' is simply tamilizing e'thing. Anyway, we've beaten this topic to death. Won't argue anymore.

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:42 pm

you get upset about the most trivial things. i am quite confident about what i said about phonetic correspondence between kannada and tamil and doofus maximus who is a native kannada speaker has said here that i am correct.

here is another phonetic transform that i discovered between kannada and tamil that i think is pretty cool. the pa (tamil) to ha (kannada) transform.

milk is pAl in tamil and hAlu in kannada.
smoke is pogai in tamil and hogE in kannada.

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:43 pm

here is a kannada song which features the word vadE:

stove top gives one total control on the mushiness and this grain doesn't really need pressure cooking - at least the brand i have.

i find the usual rava upma utterly boring - arisi upma or cracked wheat upma it is, if i ever eat upma.

Bingo. This philological evidence lends further supports the conclusion that dosa and vada are both of Karnatakan origins.

depends on when they were invented. if they were invented pre the kannada-tamil split, then both k's and t's can claim inventorship.

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:53 pm

a few other examples of the ai-E correspondence.

boundary: ellai (tamil) - ellE (kannada)
art: kalai (tamil) - kalE (kannada)
murder: kolai (tamil) - kolE (kannada)
walk: nadai (tamil) - nadE (kannada)
cloth/dress: Adai (tamil) - AdE (kannada)

by Guest Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:58 pm

i think i now know how vada came about... it was done by none other than the NIs... kn people were calling it vade... we (NIs) do this when talking in singular-plural... like bada-bade, chhota-chhote... so we heard vade, and decided that one vade must be call vada...

phew, mystery solved. Cool

that the whole point. 'ai' is tamil pronunciation and you guys want to promote that and eventually claim them (dosas, vadas, etc which are popular) to be of tamil origin.

Maharashtra has its vade as well, altho it's more like a thickish poori. Their vada is of course our aloo-bonda. And then they have a vadi which is more like our vada.

In terms of the word origin, I'm wondering if it is an abbreviation of ambode (aka dal vada in Maharashtra or masala vada in Bangalore) so beloved to Mangaloreans.

please tell me what a "dahi bhalla" is. is it northindian for "thayir vadai?"

by Merlot Daruwala Mon Nov 26, 2012 9:03 am

Conceptually it's the same - a vada soaked in yogurt. Only, there is none of the mustard and curry-leaf seasoning added to a thayir-vada. Instead, some sweet tamarind chutney and mint chutney is spooned on top.
