Shallots........how many of you include it in your diet???????

Your conversion reminded me of a joke

On an anniversary the wife tells the husband to take her to a place she has never been

and he takes her.....to the kitchen

hahahahahah :)

I have never used Shallots... When I saw title of this thread, I was wondering what it is?? :) :)

That's because you probably never help in the kitchen so you don't know this!! Try helping your wifey and you will get more knowledge!!! :evil: :laugh: :laugh:

Kitchen looks like foreign...so entering in kitchen is just like a foreign tour for me.... :laugh: :laugh: :dry: :sick: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

So that means if you enter a kitchen your vacation starts and learning new things during a vacation is very very good for you! Start immediately and take a vacation tomorrow itself!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry !! It is Vocation, not Vacation!!!! :whistle: :woohoo: :woohoo:

He he he! Don't twist the words, I must find a way to tell your wife, she definitely must have means to find your true vocation!! :evil: :evil:

Ha ha ha! Swetha, that's a great joke!!! :laugh: :laugh: Appropriate for most men!!

Appropriate for most men!! ;)
Me Too!! :unsure: :unsure: :ohmy:

Of course you too!! You are in no way excluded!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Today I made my fish thoran, onions substituted with shallots for the first time....a kitchen experiment and it's really a great success. It tastes best than while using onions

No doubt, shallots is more nutritious than onions. But it's very difficult to peel of its skin for its use consuming more time. So, many housewives keep away from them. We, South Indians can't exclude it from our diet even for a single day, even if it's quantity is small.
What about you? Do you consume it frequently?

I use this a lot and in my town we get peeled ones and I buy those in small quantities and more of the unpeeled bunches .Sambhar made with shallots,drumsticks and brinjal is yummy! It also tastes good while used for fish curry ..

I think every one who eats onion can eat shallots as well. This is certainly a good vegetable with lots of health benefits.

Truth is that shallots have more health benefits than onion....more tasty too!!!
If prepared in shallots, your curry will never get that sweet of onions.
But it's a bit time consuming to peel its skin

I still prefer onions because that is more popular in our area and we fry them longer so onion is in thing for us.

We grind onions in gravy for fish curry in TVM style. It's very good, though it can't be put outside the fridge more time.

Onion is used in almost every curry that we prepare, even Parantha made of onion is very popular.

I am noting down about choice of people and places to visit, I am a traveler you know! So this would help me choosing destinations according to my own choice. I would go where people eat according to my taste. :)

Shallots are not at all part of my diet. Onions are compulsory part of our diet as we cook non-veg items.

That's a great way of planning your travel itineraries!! I too must start a sort of my own similar diary!!! Good idea!

If you haven't yet tasted Pyaaz ki Kachori, do it the first thing you visit Rajasthan! You will keep licking your fingers!! :) Or better get your wife to learn how to make it! :laugh:

We had a regional office at Jaipur with a local guy as territory manager. He was too 'petoo' and used to eat lots of Dal Bati and Kachori etc. But they eat their curries too chilly.

That is a very unique way of making travel plans LOL :cheer: , depending on the availability of food according to taste .It should be the other way round , trying out new local dishes when you visit other places !
