Sowmya, Its not a must to add fenugreek... but adding little gives you good color to the dosa.. I usually eyeball it, 1/2 to 1 tsp is fine. To be on the safe side let me update my recipe to 1/2 tsp. Thanks.

That could be one of the reason also we may never know about the expiry date of such stuff, which most Indian stores never attempt to do. So sometimes stale items can resort to such problems. Congrats on surviving the second attempt. Thanks.

Definitely its a big no, just make with onions.

Mullai : just an urgent queryyy!

i m making this sambhar now, n i dont hv pumpkins, cn i use potatoes instead??
thnx 4 ur reply

I was looking for Vada Curry recipie. All other sites suggested frying the vada. Only your site suggested steaming it. The dish came out excellent. I am in Sharjah with my family in Chennai. I am learning (by force only!!) how to cook and now on my way to expertise. Thanks for sharing wonderful recipes.

prune fruit in tamil aalpaakaara palam thank you by thiyagu from chennai............

i really loves the recipes posted on this site.i have tried quite a few n all have turned really good in spite of me being a bad cook in general.

Mullai, This was one dish which came to perfection in the very first attempt.. Though one of the reasons could be because the dish is simple, I am sure it would not be possible without your simple & clear instructions and of course not to mention the magic of your receipes :) Thank you and keep rocking!!!

Hi vidhya,
I was Searching for this recipe.
Thanks for sharing it.:)

LOOKS TRULY DELICIOUS.MULLAI...YOU ARE DOING A GREAT TERRIFIC JOB. CONGRATS TO YOU AND ALL THE VERY VERY BEST.

what is the english name for berika?

aashirwad is the best, tried pillsbury(not bad) and annapurna(it sucks).

Your spice glossary is just fantastic. Where can I purchase Kalpasi?

Hi shalini,

I guess it is not mochai but same family. It's called 'double beans' in south and looks like brownish red in color. quite expensive though but a great delicacy. People take the outer skin and cook. Ok. Bye

Regs,

Jas

Hi Amazing dish. it tasted awesome with dosas!!!

nice site

Hi Mullai,
This was my second attempt and it was far far better. it was not dark brown and hard like last time. But it had a raw gram flour taste. is it because my roasting was not enough or some other reason?
