Nutty Vegetable Masala rice | Indian Rice Recipes

I had bookmarked this recipe from vahrehvah.com a few months ago. While I was busy browsing my bookmarks last week, bumped on this one and immediately chose to do this. This is a very simple and yet tasty rice with all the combination of the spices. An absolute favorite. I have made minor modifications to the masala powder, reduced the amount of peanuts and substituted with walnuts because they

Plumber Hourly Rate - Orange County

DO AFFORDABLE PLUMBERS CHARGE BY THE HOUR????


Are you seeking a plumbing company in Orange County with “fair hourly rates”? How about an “Affordable Plumber?”

1. What do you consider a “fair hourly rate” for a plumber?
2. How did you determine that “fair hourly rate”?
3. Would you pay for “overtime” to get a good plumber?
4. What do most people consider “affordable” these days?

The questions could go on and on and depending on who you talk to, the “plumber rate” could vary in range from $0 – “Are you kidding”???!!! That’s why Splash Plumbing does not charge “by the hour” but rather “by the job” Yes … it’s that simple

Can an “affordable Hourly Rate Plumber” promise that? I don’t think so!

What about “overtime” you ask?
Most plumbers charging by the hour will charge a premium hourly rate for overtime work. At Splash Plumbing, we have our prices already calculated in our company price book so, we don’t charge overtime! The price we charge to clear a drain at 2:00 PM is the same price we charge to clear the same drain at 2:00 AM! *Other charges may apply, contact our office for more information

In the event we run into a job that is not in our price book, we have a simple and effective formula that our professional Technicians use to determine what the actual charge will be. Our company policy is to inform our clients what the charge will be BEFORE we start any work. This eliminates the “surprise” factor and prevents us from charging our clients by the hour for any plumbing repairs. The best part is that the formula is the same on Monday as it is on Saturday.

Naturally there are circumstances that would require us to spend a little time diagnosing what the plumbing repair may need to be before we can quote the actual cost to each client. Our professional plumbing Technicians will inform you of any related costs BEFORE they begin any investigation or diagnosing.

Please feel free to contact us here at Splash Plumbing to answer any questions you may have regarding this issue.

Ragi Dosae - Nutritious Finger Millet Pancake & Vegetable Sagu

RAGI DOSAE

Every day Dibs and I get together on skype and chat for a while over a cup of coffee. She with her evening cuppa and I with my mid morning cup. Our chat usually revolves around food ( what else,when two foodies get together? ), and our blog posts.
Dibs had prepared Ragi Dosae for breakfast, and had also clicked a few pictures of the same. And here is the recipe for a nutritious ragi dosae with the photos of the dish clicked by Dibs.

INGREDIENTS

Split black gram dal - 1 cup
Ragi ( Finger millet ) flour - 3 cups
Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 pinch
Curds - 1 tsp

METHOD

1. Soak black gram dal and fenugreek seeds for 3 hours.
2. Grind the dal to a smooth and fluffy batter.
3. Mix the batter with ragi flour, salt, sugar and curd in a deep vessel.
4. Add little water if necessary to get the right consistancy.
5. Cover and leave it in a warm place to ferment over night.

TO MAKE THE RAGI DOSAE

INGREDIENTS

1.Finely chopped onion - 1
2.Finely chopped green chilly - 1
3. Chopped fresh coriander leaves- 2 tbsps
( Mix the above ingredients and keep aside)
4. Cooking oil - for roasting

METHOD

1. Grease a dosae pan/ tava and heat it.
2. When the tava is hot enough pour a tablespoon of dosae batter on it and dribble a few drops of oil around it.
3. Remove the first cooked dosae and leave it aside.
4. Pour a ladle of batter on the now seasoned tava.
5. Spread the batter into a thin dosae with circular movements,using the back of the ladle.

6. Sprinkle a tablespoon of onion, green chilly and fresh coriander mixture on top of the dosae.
7. Dribble oil around the dosae.
8. When the dosae looks cooked on top, remove with a spatula on to a serving plate and serve immediately with chutney or sambar.
9. There is no need to cook on the flip side. Raw onions and green chillies accentuate the taste of ragi in any form of dish.
Ragi dosaes taste very good when savoured straight from the tava.
Here is a simple recipe for a quick vegetable sagu to go with the delicious Ragi Dosae.
