ive just joined here few days ago and jus came across this thread, i fink its a top idea, u might fink it's bit weird but i love cooking so inshA soon ill post some of my cooking tips etc.
 
I can make raita. Here's my tip-top recipe.

Here's what you need:

A bowl (you don't actually eat this)
Half a teaspoon of salt
Half a teaspoon of chilli powder
A pot of yoghurt
Milk (optional)
Bhoondi (I don't know what the heck you call them in English, but they're kind of like Rice Krispies)

Soak bhoondi in small amount of milk until soft, in the bowl. Pour yoghurt into bowl. Mix in salt and chilli powder. Stir like mad. Add chopped tomatoes/cucumbers/onions as desired.

You can make it without milk by simply soaking the bhoondi in boiling water. Sorted.
 
Good recipe, but isn't bhoondi, like a ball of rice krispies....Or something else, a pic wud really help
 
Google Image Search has failed me.

Think a bunch of Rice Krispies, but which are orbs, and are slightly bigger than ball bearings.
 
Nah. Raita's not sweet. It's kind of very mildly spicy.

Here's a picture:

They haven't put any chilli in it though. Wimps.
 
Salaam,

boondi is made of besan(chick pea flour)...mixed with a lil salt...chilli powder...chat masala...and water...to make a thick paste...then these are fried by sieving thru a spoon which has holes in it...u know the one u use for frying stuff so that the oil comes out....hope that gives sommeee idea..:)

W'salaam
 
Well I got the picture......also many ways of making it:

Boondi Raita

Ingredients [ Multilingual Glossary | Measurement Conversion ]
1/2 cup Gram-Flour(besan)
1-2 cups curd(dahi)
1/4 tsp Cumin seeds powder
1/4 tsp Red Chilli Powder or 1 chopped Green Chilli
Oil for deep frying
Salt to taste
few Coriander-Leaves.

Instructions
First mix the besan, salt and water properly to form a thick batter.
Then heat the oil for deep frying.
Take a sieve with large holes and gradually pour the batter through it in the oil.
Fry the boondis for few seconds till golden brown and crisp.(Keep the flame on medium).Keep aside.
Now in a bowl, take the dahi and beat well to form a smooth paste.
Add to it,salt, cumin powder,Red-Chilli-Powder or chopped Green-Chilli and mix well.
Just before serving , add the boondi, mix well and then garnish it with Coriander-Leaves.
 
i watched this on ready steady cook ages ago and tried it myself.... it was amazing because the sponge was really soft and spongy.... and it takes about 15 mins to make...

Ingredients
55g/2oz butter
55g/2oz self raising flour
55g/2oz caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
3-4 tbsp milk
½ tin cherries, drained
butter to grease
flour to dust

Method
1. For the pudding, put the sugar and butter into a food processor and blend to combine.
2. Add the flour and baking powder and blend briefly.
3. Add the egg and blend again.
4. Drizzle in just enough milk to loosen the mix to make it just pourable.
5. Grease a medium sized heat proof bowl with butter and dust with flour.
6. Shake out the excess flour.
7. Put the cherries in the bottom of the bowl.
8. Pour the batter into the bowl and cover with cling film.
9. Microwave for 5-6 minutes (check with microwave cooking guidelines).
10. Leave to sit for one minute then turn out onto a plate.
11. Put the cherry juice in a pan and simmer to reduce and thicken slightly.
12. Pour this over the sponge and serve

8-10 sponge biscuits
120ml/4fl oz double cream, lightly whipped
grated chocolate to garnish

2. Melt the chocolate gently.
3. Take some of the chocolate and pipe a handle shape onto some greaseproof paper.
4. Chill in the fridge.
5. Fold the cream into the rest of the chocolate in the bowl.
6. Take a chefs' ring with a diameter of 8cm/3in.
7. Cut the biscuits to length and line the ring so that they sit about 2cm/1in above the top of it.
8. Fill the ring with the chocolate mousse.
9. Pipe the lightly whipped cream onto the chocolate mousse.
10. Sprinkle with grated chocolate.
11. Attach the handle with some cream.
