@Dhiru Galani, I am really happy to kw that u and ur family enjoyed the Cabbage akki rottis. Roties made using wheat flour wouldn't give the same crispy texture as the one made using rice flour. So I can understand how different you found these rottis compared to the cabbage paraths. Akki rotti is staple breakfast item in Karnataka, especially in b'lore and mysore region.

Sia, We came across cabbage roti from your posting. Everybody loved it. We used to do them using wheat flour and mix the cabbage with flour into dough. Then we would just make it like parathas.
But the rice flour tasted better.

Sia--

I came to your site a long time ago and found a recipe on here using chana dal that you cook in a pressure cooker. It was fantastic on rainy days! But now I can't find it on here :(
Am I missing something? Is it right under my nose?

Sia,
Accidently i found your website and i simply loved it. I tried to make kandavi in microwave and followed your instructions, but it was a disaster .. after 5 mins of high in it has started to turn solid from within, in the sense it has was getting cooked.. after a while i pulled it out added a little more buttermilk and tried to beat it ( this was a mistake i guess) it turned all lumpy and i realised that i could nothing further with this batter...what is the consistency of batter after it is cooked?
in the sense when do i know that i should stop and it is ready to be spread like dosa?
i am totally blank about this, i love kandavi, please guide me

Hi Supriya!

I haven't been to your blog for ages! Wow very nice.

I wanted to see if you found a good Pumpkin Masala recipe. I love this curry at the restaurant but can't find anything similar. The one I had some coconut in it as well.

I think you may have just inspired to resuscitate my blog from the dead!

Will be surfing around your site!
