Sorry, not interested right now
lovely blog

i just wana know do you use unsalted butter for preparing the cakes? or is it the regular( amul) one?
if its unsalted, can you recommend me the brands available in India as i feel salted butter always ruins the taste of my cakes
thanks
Yes, always use unsalted butter. Sorry, I don’t know any Indian brands. I used to bake cakes with homemade butter when I was in India

Thanks for this website I have tried few recepies and it turned out to be very tasty. M happy to get this blog.Few veggies that my hubby use to never eat … thanks to u he has started relishing the sabzis thank you and keep the Good work. God bless u.
Hi- I came across your blog and the recipies look great. I am trying to find recipies using Indian masala blends that you find in Indian grocery stores.
Do you ever use those boxed or packed masala…like some from Shaan, Khana khazana….if yes, which ones are really good and worth using. the ones I have tried have not come out to be good. so looking for the ones that have been tested and can be used in quick/shortcut Indian cooking.
I have used Shaan Biryani masala. Recipe here
One word i can say WOW!!!!!!
Hi my name is Suraj and i am a food lover.. Some days ago i was just surfing and i got this site, and something in my life changed… i was dragged to my old day memories.. this site contains everything of recipe of my interest.. Shilpa u really rock.. i have become a great fan of this site, and the name aayis is an awesome name it works rather than just a name…:-)
Keep Going
Hi Shilpa,
)
I absolutely love your website and would like to thank you for giving us fabulous recipes.
I was thinking of having a website to list the recipes that I came across and liked. Would it be ok with you if I post links to your recipes on my website? I would never claim them as mine.(No plagiarism!) and your name will always be mentioned. I would also post some of my own recipes/experiments. (they are very few though
I will go ahead with it only if you give me a green signal.
Thanks,
Sharvari.
Yes, go ahead. Thanks for asking

Hi, Shilpa tai!
Have you tasted Kumta’s Benne Nayak’s Kajubi Mithai prepared during Kumte ter(jatra)?
My aayi loves it & badly wants to eat it.
Unfortunately, it’s not available in the market now.
I can’t see her craving for it!!
Can you kindly let me know Kajubi Mithai(White coloured sugar coated cashew halves) recipe so that I can prepare it for her & make her happy?
PLEASE.
Kindly reply
I don’t have the recipe Rajayika. I will try to get it from someone, but can’t guarantee that I will succeed!
Thank you very much for replying
Let me know if you find the recipe
Dear Rajayika & Shilpa,
There is no special recipe for it. and its not an easy task though,
I am really Happy with Your comment. As you know that Kaju Mithai is just available during Kumta Jatra but dont worry, I will arrange to send it to you. tell me where do you live, India/ Abroad ?
Also,We have introduced same with BADAM, PISTA and few other dry fruits but they may not b available now.

Hemanth

Thank you Hemant. Really appreciate it
Been following your blog for almost 3 years now. Love it!!! Whenever I have referenced a recipe back to you people have heard of your blog already… Wow! You must be one blessed person for satisfying hungry souls
Would you know the recipe for Fish Phanna Upkari or Uppat as some would call it? It is strangely missing from your list…
Happy cooking
Akshata
Thanks for kind words Akshata. I have one with Shrimp. This dish was never prepared at my home. I came to know about it only after I started this blog.
where can i buy avocado in bangalore or near by bnagalore i need it urgent please help me sir.
Hi Shilpa,
Have you published a recipe book-if so how do I order it.
No sorry. Haven’t published a book yet.
hello shilpa
thanks for that lovely konkani dishes.
I have been longing to try some of the amchi recipes. however, i would like to request some recipes from you.
I want to have recipe for parval/padval chutney, sorry for the spelling error but it looks like tendli, actually it looks like a stout version of tendli. we generally prepare bhajias of the parvel/padval. by cutting it length wise. kindly send the recipe of padwal chutney which is off white in colour.
you can mail me at sachinput@sify.com
thanks in advance
regards

Hi Shilpa.
Quite interesting site. will visit frequently. just a suggestion – to ferment Idli batter during winters, one can heat the oven ( or micro on convention mode / pre heat on baking mode ) and leave the atta in the micro / oven overnight. this is an excellent remedy for fermenting atta during winters.
Hi Shilpa! I love your site, and since I’m a Mangalorian as well, it’s nice to have a cross reference when I cook Mangalorian dishes.
My neighbor at my mom’s house was Konkani and I have childhood memories of her sending over yummy gobi pakodas. The batter was not normal pakoda batter, it was red and spicy.
I hope you know what I’m talking about, I’m craving for these and wondering if you have the recipe or name atleast for these.
As far as I can think, this is the only cauliflower baje we make.
Hello Shilpa,
I have tried two of your receipes (Palak soup and vegetable & egg biryani) and liked the same. Would like to try some more receipes.
I have decided to go for punjabi samosa but failed to get its preparation on your website. Please let me know.
Waiting for your kind reply.
Thanks,
Soumya
Sorry, I don’t have the recipe on site.
Hi Shilpa,
I am constantly on your site looking for ideas for my next meal idea. Thank you so much for being there in place of my now long-deceased Mum, Bapamma and Dad who may have helped me in the same endeavour. I feel closer to them through reproducing your wonderful recipes here, and for that I am extremely grateful to you.
I have recently been a bit concerned about levels of privacy on the internet, and found that on doing a search of my name, I found my comments on some of your recipes. While I really have no problem with leaving comments, I am not sure I want it to show up on a google search.
Is there any way you can
1) stop these comments from showing up on a search, or,
2) allow these comments to be turned anonymous, or,
3) even deleted? (although I agree this would not be the best option for your site)
Any input from you about this would be great, as I am extremely concerned about just how much of our information is out there ready to be used by anyone who just does a small search!
Thanks again, and please know that your recipes are a huge source of re-lived memories for me.
Thanks,
KDKamat
I think there are only two comments on this blog by you (searching by your email id). So please let me know if you want me to delete them, and I will do it.
Hai Shilpa

The yeast is not at all active and the flour never swells.Awaiting yr reply

Please check the expiry of yeast. It should be kept in warm place.

Hi,
I have been a reader for a long time and am very thankful to you. A saraswat brahmin brought up in mumbai,we had lost touch with a lot of konkani specialities and your blog has put in back in touch with them. I have been using it extensively after marriage to make traditional dishes for my in-laws and hubby who love amchi food. Thanks again.
I was actually looking for the recipe for Kayras made with potatoe, capsicum and peanuts but couldn’t find it. Maybe you call it by some other name? Would love if it you do a post about it too.
Kairas recipe – without coconut, with coconut
please post the nanchnya duddali recipe. I made it similar to awrarrot pudding on your blog. duddali turned out as a nanchnya halwa..
Thanks and Regards
