Receipis

[Guest guest]

Actually, you could look up a lot of preps in our cookbooks.

Besides, if you are not very experienced at cooking, you should first

learn first hand from a good cook, by beeing in the kitchen, assisting

an expert. Recipes alone will not do. That´s how I learned cooking.

Especially if you cook for preaching purpose, the prasadam has to be

first class. There have been many recipes in this conferance already,

so you could look that up. And Kurma has written two great cookbooks,

I am sure you find some inspiration there. This conferance is not actually

meant to "teach" cooking.

When it comes to subjis, I can give you some good advice:

Do not mix too many vegetables. two, at most three kinds (like: potatoes,

green beans, fried paneer, or cauli, fried potatoes and peas, or steamd

broccoli with red peppers, slightly stirfried. People like light, healthy

food, with flavour but not too spicy. Tomatosauce with some cream is good.

Spicing: a chaunce with whole cummin, fried until dark but not burned,

a little anis (for cabbage related vegetables), fresh ginger, hing and

some ground koriander goes well with any vegetable.

In the old days, when I learned cooking, we used to deep fry everything

in Ghee and add sourcream. There were no cookbooks. It was very heavy,

very tasty and a sure way to ruin your liver...

So, cook light. People like paneer, that can be fried if the rest is

steamed or cooked.

Fresh (or frozen) leafy spinach, cooked, with paneer chunks and light

spicing (black mustard -popped untip grey-, some hing, some muskat, and

a little light cream) is great.

If you have a spicy subji there should be a plain white rice to it, with

a little butter and lemon.

Anyway, good luck to you. Cook with love and devotion, offer to Krsna and

be happy!
