Hi Shilpa,

I wanted to know your cup measurement, every time I try one of your recipes I just assume some average Indian tea-cup size for it, but it will be nice if you could give me some sort of a reference (e.g how many milliliters).

Here in Australia, I use those different measurements you get in the shops for 1 cup , 1/2 cup, 1/3rd cup etc. and I feel that cup will be too big for your recipes.

cheers,
Smita

Thanks shilpa for this recipe of kala masala….once i hv tasted an excellent “kale masale ki khichdi” at my one aunty’s place nd till date..i hvnt forgotten its flavour . Nw aftr seeing this recipe ..hope i too can also make the same:)

I can see there is sm confusion regarding dagadphool.. ..after seeing the pic I knw tht in central india this spice is also known as CHABEELA. hope dis will help to clear sm confusion.

I had been to my native place there one muslim group was going to picnic their gravy ie sherwa fell in local bus and fortunately i was in that bus and cannot forget that smell. So i thought u will be able to help me

Hi Shilpa

I brought very little quantity of dagadphool and kaale vatane on my last trip to Inida, which I will soon run out of.

Do you think this store in Kansas – Ambica, will ship it to Canada ?

Shilpa: I am not sure. You may check out their website

Hi Shilpa….I so know that aroma of goda masala.. There was this girl in my office who used to bring egg curry made with this masala………we used to sit in different depts and beileve it or not the day she had this in her lunchbox and she opened the whole office would be awash with the aroma………….yes we still have offices where there arent any separate canteen areas so some lunchtime there is a burst of aromas……….

dagad phool is marat moggu in kannada

Shilpa: As far as I know, both are not same. Marathi moggu looks like clove.

thanks a lot for the recipe and about the reality of the Dagar phool… aaj tak i’ve been made a phool about this phool. i think as star anise is translated as phool chakri , the two have got mixed up somewhere.
