dear shilpa,i happen to see your site during my usa visit
with all the ingradients you use,i also use a few grains of methi,there the taste is a little good.and next time u go to India get 3 parts of Bedgi dry chillies and one part kashmiri chillies{by weight} pound together .this chilli powder has fantastic colour and good for all recepies especially for fish fry.

I use the byadagi chillies which I got from India. Sometimes they are also available in Indian store here. You can also use Kashmiri chilli powder for the color.

Hi Shilpa,
Nice recipe… I tried it and it tasted very well.. Both me and hubby loved it.. I put 8 red chillies and still the color of my masala never came even near your’s. I have used the red chili(Deer brand) which we get in Indian stores in San Diego. Did you use any special kind of red chilli?
Thanks a lot

hi dear shilpa, i had always liked this receipe, as i used to eat it at my friend’s place as she hails from kumta, i am also a GSB but from Goa, so for me it is a new receipe. but i used to always visit her home to eat this special batata song made by her mother, which was veryyyyyy yummy. thxs a lot dear.

This seems like an interesting one. How long does it take to cook generally?

Hi Shilpa,
I had seen your website a long time back when i was hunting for eggless cake recipes for a fussy friend. I was in India then, now I am in the US. I do wonder about one thing though. Which brand of mixer/grinder do you use, the one we have at home dosen’t grind as well, even after adding tons of water and i hate adding water when grinding unless necessary. I really miss my sumeet which is at home in India.
I really like your website and make sure I recommend it to all my other friends who are here.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Synuae

Shilpa: I have Sumeet with me. I bought it online here in US.

hi shilpa,

have you tried making bread pudding?
I remember having it long long ago and even the thought of it now makes my mouth water
Could you post the recipe if you try it.

thanks,
neetu

Hi Shilpa: I make Song the same way except instead of the red chillies I use Reshampatti Mirchi Powder. It gives you both the spice and the color. I use it for making shrimp pannaupkari and all the other Amchigale recipes. I love your website. You have tremendous patience.
