Re: Slow cookers and rice makers

I was always afraid to use it while i am away..but it has been a real treat coming home to prepared food and the awesome aroma.I have made chili, and also pot roast in there. It turned out great..each time.

Would you mind sharing the recipe or chili? I have used the crockpot and a couple of times and have been impressed with the fact that I didn't have to use oil either time.

I love my CrockPot/Slow Cooker!!! I don’t use it for desi cooking, but I do ALOT of american/especially southern style recipes. It is my best friend during Thanksgiving

Here are dishes I make with my CrockPot:

Roast Beef/Pot Roast
Barbecue Chicken
Sweet Potato casserole
Chilli…just to name a few!

There are many websites, recipe blogs dedicated strictly to CrockPots!

As far as rice cookers go, I avoid them. Like Reha said, everyday chanwal should be parboiled, then “nitharofied” to drain out the starch, and then put back on dum. I was always taught that chanwal ko "Parayray honay chaiyay (fluffy with seperate grains)…rice cookers tend to make rice more clumpy, which i don’t like.

Thanks khattichic for the barbecue recipe. It finally gave me an excuse to take out the slow cooker from my pantry. It has been collecting dust for sometime. I had no clue what to do with it. Since I took it out to make barbeque chicken yesterday. Today i made achar ghost in it without oil. It was yummy and the chicken was moist and was falling of the bone. I am tempted to try kheer in it. I just need a good recipe.
