[Cz-L] FW: More Totch and Malai!

        Hi everybody,

        Sorry about wrong original address and format. I had forgotten
what I am supposed to do to cntact the list.
        Just letting you all know that I have just tested a couple of
the recipes and here are the results.
        My mother's,- as I remember its taste and texture,- is my
favourite.

        1.Grate 4 large potatoes and allow to stand for 15-20 minutes.
Squeeze most of the liquid out of the mixture.

        2.Soak a few slices of bread (or 1/2 cup breadcrumbs), squeeze
out the liquid and add to the potatoes.

        3.Add 3- 4 eggs, 2 spoons of self-raising flour, salt and
pepper.

        (Add a chopped onion if you prefer.)

        4.Bake for 30 minutes at 200deg.C.
--------------------------------------------
        As for the Malai,-
        I tried the receipe more or less as as given by Cornel,- and it
didn't quite taste as I remember it, although the texture was about OK.
        Which cheeses are we supposed to use,- yellow grated, white
cottage or branza (fetta)? I mixed a bit of each,- it seemed to have too
much sugar, marg.,etc. So I cut it all down.I don't remember it as a
'cake',- it was more a kugl/pudding style wich we ate with sour cream or
yoghurt. Not too sweet!(I buy a 'flourless' orange or lemon cake which
is made with corn meal or polenta,- but a malai is different.)

        This is fun! Keep it up,- thanks Madelon for your offer!

        Shavuot Shalom,
