Actually, that sirni with eggs and cream soda (or a red soft drink for the colour) is a Guyanese specialty that I have no idea how to make and have yet to see anyone make to get the recipe. Like your parsad, my halwa recipe (which is what Trini muslims make) has no eggs. Sorry about that. Hi Sean. Thanks for the comments!

I just came across your website looking for a recipe for my sister-in-law and must say I absolutely love your site. I've bookmarked so many of your recipes already it's crazy! I can make parsad (mohanbhog), but my sister-in-law keeps asking me to make her some sirni (Muslim version of); I can't find a recipe for it anywhere... do you happen to know of one? My parsad recipe has no eggs, but apparently sirni has eggs and cream soda in it? Ever heard of one consisting of those ingrediants? Any help would be much appreciated. Keep up the awesome work with your blog!! Hi there!!! I just came across your website looking for a recipe for my sister-in-law and must say I absolutely love your site.

I am open to trying new recipes. The owner told me that it is used to make poulouri and soup. Can you send me some recipes? I would really appreciate it. I would really appreciate it.

I'll post a recipe for a Channa Masala soon (don't know if it's the one you want, there are going to be so many variations). As for the yellow split peas flour - this is not usually used for soup, you'd need the actual yellow split peas - the split pea flour is in recipes like the <a href="http://chennette.net/2007/10/03/baigani-recipe/" rel="nofollow">Baigani</a> above to form batters, or in doughs or to coat things. If you want split pea soup, you can start with the <a href="http://chennette.net/2008/03/26/making-dhal-trini-style/" rel="nofollow">Dhal</a> recipe above, or try the <a href="http://www.simplytrinicooking.com/2008/09/corn-soup-trini-style.html" rel="nofollow">Corn Soup on Simply Trini Cooking</a>.
