Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies

Dear Mr.Ramanan!

Hotels have different kinds of masala for dosai as well as poori. So I couldn’t figure out the correct recipe.
The secret lies in mashing the potatoes. If you mash them when they are hot, you can get a smooth and tasty masala. If you mash them after some time, the masala will be sticking. Some people will add tomatoes in the masala. In the tempering also, some will add black gram and Bengal gram. It is up to you to add the extra taste and flavour.

Dear riceandbeans!

I have mentioned only raw papaya [green papaya] in the recipes of papaya.

Hello Indu!

I am glad that you are also living in the United Arab Emirates. Are you from Dubai?
I buy wheat flour in the ‘Adil spices’.

Whenever I go to the native place, I make it a point to wash wheat grains [Punjab] and Soya beans and then dry them under the sun. Then I will send them to powder in a mill. Chappathis made out of this flour will be always healthy. For 1 kg of wheat grains, 100gms of soya beans are enough. But this flour is not suitable for pooris.

I think in taste wise, both the powdered coconut and the tinned coconut milk are the same. But we must finish the tinned milk soon once we open it. Almost all the brands are the same, I think. I like to buy the powder manufactured by kerala.

Dear Inimai!

You must use white corn flour as KZ had informed. Corn flour is added only for the thickening purpose as well as adding a little flavour. There is no substitute for that. You can avoid that.
