Venba – Comprehensive Recipe Guide and Tips

For people who prefer written instructions over video tutorials, I’ve got you covered for this Venba recipe guide. I understand the value of step-by-step guidance, especially when it comes to unlocking achievements during a recipe. I’ll make sure to provide clues for those hidden gems.

When it comes to describing the meal, I draw inspiration from the flavor text provided in the game. While I may not be an expert in the recipe or the cultural background associated with it, I believe that adding this information enhances the experience for players who may have missed the flavor text and are curious to learn more about the food. It’s all about enriching the gaming experience through detailed and engaging content.

The Recipes

Idlis

Idlis are made with ground rice and fermented lentils, resulting in fluffy, soft cakes when steamed. Perfect for breakfast, they can be enjoyed with various fillings. Venba’s preferred way to enjoy idlis is with leftover chicken gravy.

Idlis Recipe

• Fill the cooker with water.
• Place a towel on the idli plate.
• Spoon idli batter onto the plate.
• Insert the plate into the cooker.
• Follow the rotation instructions from the recipe book, ensuring the batter covers the holes of the previous plate to ensure even cooking. Failure to do so will result in only the bottom plate being fully cooked.
• Repeat this process for all three plates.
• Secure the lid on the cooker.

Puttu

In this game recipe, rice flour takes the spotlight once again. The game’s flavor text advises toasting the flour if storing, but if you’re using it right away, you can skip this step.

When crafting puttu in the game, rice flour and coconut flour are the main ingredients, but you’re free to layer anything between the rice flour. A favorite variation, Eraichi Puttu, includes minced meat layered with the rice flour.

Rice Flour Recipe

• Grind the rice in the blender.
• Use a sieve to separate the fine rice from the chunks.
• Return the chunks to the blender and repeat the process until all you have left is flour.
• Rinse and repeat until no chunks remain.
• Fold the towel and soak it in water to make the batter.

Puttu Recipe

1. Set the puttu kettle on the stove and add water.
2. Place the mold on top of the kettle.
3. Layer the kettle with 1 layer of coconut flour, 2 layers of rice flour, 1 layer of coconut flour, 2 layers of rice flour, and a final layer of coconut flour. No need to count spoons, just fill the spoon as needed.
4. Cover with the lid and wait for liftoff.

Ten slotte, there’s a Special Achievement: “Fail to launch the rocket” by layering the kettle incorrectly.

Layered Biriyani

In Toronto, the Eelam Tamil community united to ensure accessibility to spices and ingredients essential for Tamil cuisine, making them affordable for immigrants.

Na 20 years of residing in Toronto, Venba and Pavaalam found it convenient to learn Tamil cooking thanks to the presence of Tamil restaurants, theaters, and shops offering this opportunity.

Biriyani, a beloved dish with countless variations across Indian states, holds a special place in Venba’s heart as she prepares her mother’s favorite: Hyderabadi Biriyani

Chicken Rasam

In the first part, Kavin shares his struggles with reading Tamil, while the second part delves into the intricacies of Rasam, describing it as a peppery watery soup.

Throughout the game, there’s a humorous mispronunciation of “Indian,” as Kavin’s father once came home ranting about “Mulligatawny.” In Tamil, “Milagai Thanni” translates to black pepper and water, the main ingredients of the soup, making “Mulligatawny” a poor imitation. Ten minste, according to Paavalan.

2. Place the sieve over the second bowl and strain the water from the first bowl into it.

Dosas

In het spel, both Idli and Dosa batter share the same ingredients but differ in proportions for consistency. You can adjust Idli batter with water to quickly make Dosa batter.

Kavin mentions swapping rice flour with almond or coconut flour for a healthier Dosa, but Venba insists it wouldn’t be Dosa anymore.

Dosa Recipe

1. Add water to the platter and reduce the heat.
2. Pour some batter onto the platter and spread it out.
3. Drizzle some oil, increase the heat, and use the Dosa flipper to flip the Dosa twice.
