    hello mam,i love ur recipes n wanna share some of my recipes.can i?

  6. 29 September, 2011 01:43:36 PM Preeti

    Normally hum log jitna rice hota hai us se 2 guna paani use karte hai. Sama k chanwal banane k liye teen guna paani lagta hai?
    निशा:
    प्रीति, अगर चावल कुकर में बनाने हैं, तब दुगना पानी पर्याप्त है, खुले किसी बर्तन में बनाने के लिये पानी अधिक चाहिये होता है.

    thank u..it helped me,really..

  8. 05 December, 2011 05:59:54 PM neeta

    mai rice banati hoon jyada paani ho jata hai.
    निशा:
    नीता, चावल से दुगना पानी नाप कर रखें, चावल में पानी ज्यादा नहीं होगा.

    awosome and very good recipie,i just wanted to make brown rice.muje rice bnane ki tips dijiye plese.thanks
    निशा: संध्या जी, राइस को आधा घंटे जरूर भिगो दीजिये, माड़ युक्त चावल बनाने के लिये, कुकर में पहले से भीगे हुये चावल डालिये और चावल से दुगना पानी डाल दीजिये, 1 छोटी चम्मच घी या तेल डाल दीजिये, कुकर बन्द कर दीजिये और चावल को 1 सीटी आने तक पकने दीजिये, आधा प्रेशर निकाल दीजिये, कुकर खुलने पर अच्छे खिले खिले चावल बन कर तैयार हो जायेंगे. माइक्रोवेव में चावल बनाने की रेसिपी वेबसाइट और यूट्यूब पर उपलब्ध है, उसे भी आप देख सकते हैं.

    सवां चावल Means....
    निशा: राजीव जी, ये व्रत में खाये जाने वाले चावल है, इन्हैं सवां, समा या सोमा के चावल कहा जाता है.

    निशा जी मैं गर्भवती हूँ।  क्या मैं समा के चावल खा सकती हूँ ? समा के चावल ज्यादा गरम तो नहीं होते हैं ये गर्भावस्था में कोई परेशानी तो पैदा नहीं करेंगे।  प्लीज जल्दी से उत्तर दीजिये।  


    निशा: कल्पना जी, आप समा के चावल खा सकती है, ये गरम नहीं होते और नुकसान दायक भी नहीं होते.

  25. 30 March, 2017 09:49:18 AM Balwant

    What is sama ke chawal? Where can I get it
    निशा: बलवंत जी, समा के चावल व्रत वाले चावल होते हैं. यह सामान्य चावल से बहुत छोटे होते हैं. यह किसी भी किराना स्टोर या सुपरमार्केट में मिल जाएगा.
