[Rani_Pakistanii]

sohno app nein dusri thread mein to kaha tha ke app expert hain...

obviously i know how to cook.. but i'm sure there are many things that i don't know how make... n would love to learn. but for now i really don't have any question about cooking.. but will surely ask when i have any

[sohno4u]

rani, app bari teez cheez ho,
wasy egg fry karna or achy tariqy se karna nahi ata, or yi khany main shamil nahi hai,lolz

[Sawera]

mmm u know i always have trouble decidin how much salt n mirchains to put
i think its a disability.:s
i have tries sooo much to understand, but just doesnt happen..

[Rani_Pakistanii]

well sawera...
if u don't know how to make something.. n u do make it for the first time with someone's help.. then u know the next time when u make that thing.. then u'll definitely remember what/how much to put in!


sohno... experts ke liye egg fry kerna 2 second ka kaam hai
achi terha fry kerney mein koi problem nahin... ager app ko egg bana-na ata hai.. bas theek se fry nahin hota.. to egg ko pan per kuch dair aur rehney dia kerien.. simole!

II. Ingredients:
1 cup corn flour6 cups water- - ice water- - crushed ice

How to Cook:
1. Make kulfi. and keep frozen.

Make faluda:

3. 1. In a medium heavy based skillet stir together water and corn flour until dissolved. Put the corn flour mixture on low heat and stirring constantly, bring to a boil.
4. 2. Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes and then increase the heat to medium and cook until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5. 3. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and tightly cover with cling paper or aluminum foil to prevent the scum forming on the surface. Keep aside until warm.
6. 4. Fill the faluda machine with corn flour mixture and press the faluda into ice cold water. Alternatively fill the piping bag fitted with a writing piping nozzle and squeeze long threads into a large bowl filled with ice cold water. Cover and refrigerate until use.
7.
To serve faluda:

8. Arrange 6 soup bowls in a tray, add two scoops of kulfi into each bowl and then top with 2 tablespoons of crushed ice, 4 tablespoons reserved milk mixture and 3-4 tablespoons of faluda threads. Sprinkle crushed pistachio and serve immediately.
