    Aunty raw mangoes ka mausam jaane ko hai aur aapne aaj tak aam ki khatai banana nahi sikhaya to nahi sikhaya . Bas aap ye kehke taal deti hain ki aap try karengi . Aunty ab aapse nahi umeed rakhengey to kisse rakhenge ?? Kuonki meri khud ki maa to almost 90 % blind hai ( kuonki waqt rehte unka cataract ka operation nahi hua) aur vo bachpan se young life tak hostel mein rahi isliye unko jyada different varieties ki recipes nahi aati hai aur meri naani bohot achi cook thi lekin apni paak kala ki vidya dene se pehle hi swarg sidhar gai . Main bohot naraaz hu aapse .
    निशा: सोनम नाराज होना अच्छी बात नहीं है, किसी भी काम के न होने के बहुत सारे कारण हो सकते हैं, मैं कोशिश करते हुये कि आप सभी की डिमान्ड पूरी करूं लेकिन नहीं हो पाता, कच्चे आम की खटाई बनाने के लिये कच्चे आम को छील कर पल्प निकालों और धूप में अच्छी तरह सूखने तक सुखा लीजिये, कच्चे आम की खटाई तैयार हो जाती है, आप इसे आसानी से कर सकती हैं, धन्यवाद.

    kamal kakadi kya hai
    निशा: कमल ककड़ी को इंगलिश में लोटस स्टेम कहते हैं, इससे सब्जी और अचार और इसके चिप्स भी बनते हैं.

    Aunty maine aapse pucha tha ki masale vaali khatai kaise banate hai lekin aapne abhi tak koi reply nahi dia ?? Kya aap mujhse naraaz hai ??
    निशा: सोनम जी मैं आपसे बिलकुल नाराज नहीं हूँ, मसाले वाली खटाई यानी कि अमचूर पाउडर, आम की सूखी खटाई को पीस कर छान कर बनाई जाती है.

    Aunty hame is sbji main desi tamatr dalna chahiye ya fir bombay tamatr, jo khatta nhi hota. Mujhe ise lekr bda confusion hota hai.ese hi paneer gravy mai smjh nhi aata. Ab aap hi btaiye because mers husband ko sbji ka khatta taste psnd nhi hai. Nd bombay tamatr bolte hain ki salad main use hote hai
    निशा: तृ्प्ती जी, खट्टा स्वाद अच्छा नहीं लगता तब बाम्बे टमाटर डालिये इसका ग्रेवी में स्वाद बहुत अच्छा लगता है.

    निशा: करूणा जी, हां, आप इस तरह भी ग्रेवी बना सकते हैं.

      अभिषेक जी, आप अगर आपको कमल ककडी़ सख्त लग रही हो तो आप 2-3 सीटी लगवा लीजिए इससे नरम बनेंगी.
