It's not aam ka achar, but more like the salt preserved lemons which we call nimbu ka plain achar and that lemon one can be used instead. Other substitutes can be plain lemon juice or even olives. We like it with olives too.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-25317788247016276422012-03-26T21:39:13.405+05:302012-03-26T21:39:13.405+05:30Hi sangeeta,came across your blog through google,l...Hi sangeeta,came across your blog through google,lovely recipes!!They remind me of food my mum makes.One question,is there any substitute for salt preserved mango slices in your spinach gazpacho or is this aam ka achar you are referring to?Shwetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625137580624836200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-82385283697082120482012-03-17T12:50:23.862+05:302012-03-17T12:50:23.862+05:30This chutney is my innovation as I like something ...This chutney is my innovation as I like something raw to balance the heaviness of pooris.

Some people who are new to deep frying can mess up and let the stuffing come out. It needs to be handled carefully, gently turning the poori in hot oil so it doesn't burst.<br /><br />I have earlier posted about a smart procedure for all stuffed pooris, that they can well be microwaved for a minute before dunking them in hot oil, this makes the frying time reduce to just a few seconds, making less ghee/oil to be absorbed and the poori puffs up beautifully.<br /><br />Hope it helps.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-1474523480915071362012-03-16T10:04:19.780+05:302012-03-16T10:04:19.780+05:30I am so glad that my inputs made a lovely mother a...I am so glad that my inputs made a lovely mother and daughter happy :-)<br />Thanks for connecting Priya.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-40541484828571470442012-03-16T09:13:31.347+05:302012-03-16T09:13:31.347+05:30Do these puff up with the filling?

Yes you can ba...Glad you liked the kachoris Priya.<br /><br />Yes you can bake that cake (or any cake for that matter) in the microwave too. The only MW mode would give you quick results with baking but no crust, the cake is still tasty. The combi mode ( MW+ grill) would take a little more time and would give you a nice crust too. In convection mode you get the results similar to OTG and quicker. Go ahead, bake it. :-)<br /><br />BTW you can bake these kachoris too if you like :-) Slightly different texture but very much enjoyable.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-15646623351395542712012-03-15T11:20:48.191+05:302012-03-15T11:20:48.191+05:30Wow....such and yummy recipe...looks mouthwateirng...Wow....such and yummy recipe...looks mouthwateirng.Valarmathi Sanjeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850718335013697880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463192604904445836.post-70637299751380022862012-03-15T11:10:35.104+05:302012-03-15T11:10:35.104+05:30Another healthy Kachoris from you ,I;am sure it ...Another healthy Kachoris from you ,I;am sure it will taste as good as it looks, and yes I;am planning it for this weekend, we are having guests ,so i think i can serve them this for dinner.
