hi padma
i like ur recipes…n its creativity…wonderful
One day i forgot how to make this and added garlic instead of ginger. It tasted good too.
your dishes were all really good looking and nice presented…. I am really bored of the regular sambar and kolambu varities… hence going to change to the variety rice side and i am going to give a start with your receipes…. wish me good luck……………….. 🙂
Hi, i tried this rice yesterday, and it turned it yummy. moreover so simple in preparation. My husband loved it too..and yes it smells great which itself increases the apetite.
Hi, I have tried quite a few of your recipes the best among them is instant rasam. It is wonderful easy recipe. Thanks a lot. I tried making this coriander rice for todays lunch. I followed the instructions given by you. After sautéing the mix I tasted for salt before adding rice. I got a bitter taste. I was wondering what caused it? I had to throw away the mix as I had no time to alter the bitterness. If possible could you please give your suggestions as to what could have caused the bitterness. Thanks in advance.
There is no chance for this rice to turn bitter. It might be due to the coriander variety.
It came out surprisingly good. Thank you. I have added some ground nuts to make it crunchy.
Thanks for the recipe. I have seen your lemon rice, bindibindi coconut gravy also. Thanks sister.
Hi Paddu, I have tried this rice today and it came out so yummy that I couldnt stop preparing again for dinner.. Thanks for ur lovely recipes.. Can I preserve this grinded paste so that next time I can just mix with rice?
Yes, you can store the paste in the refrigerator for a day or 2 – not more than that as the flavors will get lost.
Hi Padhu, I made this for a family gathering. and it was a hit among everyone. Thank you for sharing the recipe. It smells so good. I added cashew nuts instead of peanuts.
wow…tried this recipe today…very colorful n flavorful…..thanks
hi padhu, ur presentations are very nice to impress kids. pl tell me what is the proportion of rice with water to cook for my 20 months old child so tat the boiled rice should be half smashy and also the taste doesn't change.and also I will be happy if you post sime of the recipies or tips to feed him.poridge varieties are very useful.
Thank you for liking my presentation. It depends on the quality of rice. But you can add 1 cup for 1/4 cup rice. Add little more than 1 cup if you want it mushy. Then there are many porridge recipes for babies. Check my baby section page.
Hi Padhu,
Thanks for this recipe..it came out really well. Also, I would like to get some recipe from you for KOORKA . This is a vegetable & more over it has has got the feel of like potato or tapioca
Thank you for this blog… Its really very helpful for girls like me who are away from parents bcoz of work… I have been learning to cook by seeing your blog… Today i tried coriander rice and it came out so well that my lunch group colleagues were asking for the recipe�� thank you
