Adapting Recipes to the
2.5 Litre Deep-Fry Pan
1.
The recipes in this Manual have been written for various sizes and
types of pans and thus for various maximum quantities, which are stated
in the recipes along with tips for increasing/decreasing the quantities
of ingredients. All the recipes in the Manual can be made in the Pan
except
Appam
. To adapt the recipes in this Manual to this Pan: follow
the quantities given for a 2.5 litre pan; quantities given for a 2 litre
pan may be increased by one-fourth; quantities given for a 3 litre and
3.25 litre pan should be reduced by 20%. Also follow the changes to
specific recipes stated below:
a)
Coconut Chutney
(page 9/10): Ingredient quantities may be
increased up to 2 times.
b)
Firni
(page 10): Season the pan following the method in
How
to Use
,
Seasoning
, page 3, each time before making
Firni
.
c)
Samosa
(page 13/14): Oil for Frying: 2
1
/
2
cups/600 ml. In
step 8, add 6
samosa
in each batch instead of 12.
2.
Season pan each time before boiling only milk, following the
method in
How to Use
,
Seasoning
, page 3, to avoid a brown skin
forming on the base of the pan. The brown skin breaks off when it is
stirred and floats in the dish (which is not liked by most people).

How to Clean
•
Do not wash pan or lid in a dishwasher.
•
Do not allow the rosewood handles of the pan and lid to soak in
water.
•
For a pan that has been used for frying (other than deep-frying),
immediately after cooking while the pan is still hot, wipe
off residual oil with a folded paper napkin or cloth sufficiently
thick to protect your hand from the hot metal and oil. This will
make the rest of the cleaning much easier.
