Guruvani 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2003 You can get questions like this answered at a web site call askjeeves.com You just put in your questions and hit the button and Jeeves will give you your answer. Gluten comes from wheat. You can make gluten by taking wheat dough and soaking it in water and squeezing out the milky portion till only the rubbery gluten is left. It used as a meat replacement in some vegan dishes. It is not used very much in Indian cooking. It can be hard to digest unless cooked and prepared properly. I am not a big fan of gluten. Milk curd is way better than gluten. Fried curd is the ultimate veggie meat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Priitaa 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2003 Be careful. Many are allergic to this and dont know it! The reason is that it doesn't give typical 'reactions' such as rash on tongue, etc., but instead a person gets a yucky feeling, often a problem with digesting it BUT not always. Its bad for diabetes or related. Is high in natural sugar that is damaging to many. Some have celiac disease and also don't know it. This is one food that irriates it. I don't have time to get into this but am concerned, so for those who would like to learn more on this topic, do a search and check out: http://www.celiac.com YS, Priitaa dd YS, Prtha dd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 5, 2003 hey ksama, 'sup ji ? i experimented with gluten till i perfected it, get gluten flour,some markets carry it,most health food stores also. make a liquid solution from either powdered milk or milk with powdered milk added to get a consistency of syrup, at room temperature adda oil to taste, a little is better then alot, then mix till desired consistency, the thicker it is the more solid the end result,do not add spices, it will change the end result in a bad way,add spices after it is baked ,it will absorb them. a good consistency is sponge like, then bake on a buttered baking dish or pan, oil will cause it to stick, as well as ghee. then bake in oven at 375' till it turns a light brown, it will puff up like a ballon, so bake on lowest rack, when done let it cool on pan, it will deflate. then soak in cool water, and either store in frig, or use, but first squeeze out water, not to much though, best to either pan fry or bake lightly coated with oil,or just on oiled pan, but bake for only 15 minutes at 250', then put in dish desired and cook with it or eat alone with some topping,or whatever. this is far superior to the boiling method, the gluten comes out beautiful.enjoy !

Guest guest Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Neither muslims nor hindus/iskcon people should be eating gelatin (made from pig and cow bones), which means no marshmallows, jell-o, or lucky charms! Be careful of budget gourmet TV dinners, too, because the vegetable fried rice contains beef stock! oops! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonehearted 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 How could I be upset with someone called Vanamali? I think you're right that he may have been confused, and I didn't catch that. Sorry if I made you feel bad. (Okay--now for the hugs!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theist 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Hugs?!?! After seeing the picture vanamali has posted I can only wonder what Frued would say. Hmmm....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 22, 2003 What? What picture did I post? The bharatanatyam one? I don't see how Freud would like that so much? Forgive me, but I'm just trying to figure out what you mean... Maybe you think it weird for a girl to be called Vanamali, but then I have a male friend named Gopi, so go figure... Is this even close to what you're talking about? I'm confused. Happy Deepawali by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theist 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 the post was for Bahru who calls himself stonehearted. Nothing wrong with your picture or post or name or anything. it was just a simple joke that he will understand. I probably should not have even posted it. Sorry for the confusion. By the way what does vanamali mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Vanamali is one of the names of Sri Krishna. It means, the one who wears a vanamala (mala or garland of forest flowers. Cheers! /images/graemlins/blush.gif) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
