Some Indian Food recipes and Kitchen Tips

Tips on Indian Cooking

When I started cooking first I had to learn everything by trial and error. These are some of my recipes for my daughters who are both newly married [:-)] whenever they feel nostalgic for Mom's cooking. Others are also welcome !

Bajra/ Millet/Maize Dosai


You can use idli batter for making some more dishes out of it.

ForBajra or millet dosai, take 1 cup of the bajra/millet/corn flour (readily available in super markets and healthfood stores) and 2 tbsp of idli batter. Mix well. Add 1 tsp of jeera, 1 tsp of chilli powder, 1 tsp each of chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves and salt to taste. Add enough water to make a pouring consistency.

(If you don't have idli batter, substitute 1/2 cup of rice flour, 1 tbsp of maida and 1 tbsp of sour curds.)

Make dosas using the method followed for adai.
 
In Tamil these flours are called 'kambu/ கம்பு  for millet and cholam/ சோளம்  for maize along with ragi which is called kezhvaragu/கேழ்வரகு .
