Wht is the left hand side dal??? is it toor dal and wt it is used for ?? Can u clarify wt do u mean by so called-’dalia’ i have seen them using quite a lot specially by South indian bloggers , so if u can give me little bit more info about it. – is it just we need to dry roast split chana dal n that is wt called dalia used for thickening chutny or gravies…….

Thx in advance. u reply will be very much appreciated. take care Cheers.

Shilpa: Left hand dal is chana dal as I have already mentioned in the post. Dalia is a special dal available in Indian stores. Dalia is roasted chana dal – but I am not sure how exactly it is made, so we buy it from store.

Hi. Just wondering, if this is a corriander chutney recipe, how come you use only 3-4 strands of corriander. isn’t it too little to give the chutney the required corriander taste?

Shilpa: You are right, its a bit misleading, I meant 3-4 huge strands, but now I have updated the post. Thanks for pointing out.

I was delighted to run across your recipe for Chole Bhature. I can’t wait to make it. I especially loved your explanation on why you started your blog. I have written down my Mom’s recipes for my children to remember her by.

I am also looking for a recipe for naan. Our family loves it. Warm regards, priscilla

Dear Shilpa,

Thanks a lot for your helpfull suggestion regarding using ponni rice. We get it here in Dubai, but i will surely check for “sona masoori rice. “& raw rice.

Thankas a lot for the wonderfull masala dosa recipe.
My kids and husband loved it. You said any type of rice. Could you help me choose in dubai we get pooni rice, parboiled rice, Basamti rice & idli rice. Which one outr of this would nbe good for making dosa ???

Shilpa: Do you get sona masoori rice? I make normal rice with it and also, I use it to make dosas. I think ponni rice should be fine too.

Dear Shilpa.

Thanks for the recipe.
I was searching for a good one for a long time.
Which type of rice is good for making Dosa.Can i use Ponni rice (parboiled rice) or should i use raw rice. ??

Shilpa: Which dosa you are referring to? If it is simple urad dosa, use raw rice.(or a special rice called as “dosa rice”)

Dear Shilpa,
Lovely yummy recipe for green chutney. I added few pods of garlic to it though it is not in the traditional recipe. The result was just great.

Shilpa: Shubhada, this recipe has garlic...did you mean ginger?
