Gemini the Great · Mar 8th, 2006, 07:30 PM

I have two boxes of halal knoor cubes (chicken flavor) lying here but I don't know what to make out of these. I usually don't do any cooking at home excpet fying some stuff so please tell me the easiest and the tastiest recipe to use 'em up.

knoor cubes? aren't those cheese?

You can use them in yakhni paloo, making pasta sauce, in your vegi stir fry or just in your vegi salan, you can also add them in your daal (the moong masoor ke daal). There are lot of things you can make with it...

smile, chinese have their own knor cubes, these ones (available at muslim stores) come from pak, india, bangladesh, or some middle eastern country.

I use them in daal

The daal tastes like chicken

umm hmm I 'll boil rice today and put it in! that looks like the easiest one out there. I might make daal too with these cubes.. that would taste weird, I think but I have to try.

Thanks everyone.

Smilestar: these are the ones found at Pakistani store and I think they are used just to add taste in. My mom left me with boxes of these so I have to get rid of them, anyway. :-D

Are they used for meat flavoring?

yes these cubes are used for chicken flavoring ,the simple use is to make soup from these,it gives chicken flavor to any food.

Whenever I make soup or some chinese recipe I use chicken cube instead of boiling the bones and getting yakhni.

you can use the cubes in several ways,
you can also stir fry the vegetables and add the cube (without water) breaking it with spoon. Add chinese salt, pepper, red chilli etc.

You can put it in rice...definitely adds flavor to it.

Those are bad for you because they have msg in them!

Gemini the Great · Mar 17th, 2006, 10:22 AM

well here is an article copied from FDA's website and as the old adage goes, excess of everything is bad thus it holds true for MSG as well, so having it in moderation is OK, I guess.

I am not throwing away my knoor cubes. They add a really good flavor to daal.
