    I solved my parippu vada problem. I soaked the lentils for 45 minutes-1 hour, drained thoroughly and then ground.This ensured the right consistency.

    Also, I soaked thuvaram & kadala paruppu together with a handful of raw rice and the uzhunnu paruppu separately. Measurement used was 1 cup thuvaram+ 1/2 cup kadala + green chillies, dried red chillies, ginger, asofoetida, curry leaves and salt. Ground it in Sumeet mixie without much water, stopping regularly to mix the ground stuff in the bottom layer with the unground at the top. Drained the uzhunnu, and added it whole to the ground mixture and immediately made vadas. It turned out nice and porous and light and tasty.

    Hello Mr.Nov!
    As you are from Malaysia, I want to know about a product which is from Malaysia. Have you heard about DXN Products? They are marketing some products which are made from RED Reishi Mushroom [Ganoderma Lucidum]. It is said that these products of this mushroom has a healing ability and there are highly herbal medicines. Have you heard about this?

    Sorry Mrs Mano, I have not heard of this. To tell you the truth health products and I are miles apart.
    I dont even believe in food supplements.

    anyway, here is a link that may be useful: http://www.dxnmalaysia.com

    Hi friends,
    In spite of adding some oil and reducing the amount of water, the dal I cook in pressure cooker always boils over. Esp. mung dal, at least 4 or 5 Tbsp. always is fallen into the cooker body and is wasted. How to prevent this?
    Thanks,
    Kamakshi.

    Kamakshi, have you tried using a larger container with a better fitting lid?

    Just a thought..

    I need your suggestions and help . I prepare chappathi in large quantity and put it in a ziploc bag and store it in fridge . When taken out for consumption i microwave it by putting a wet paper towel over the chappathis .They turn out to be very hard . But when taken fresh chappathis r soft . The same chappathis when used after refrigration r hard . Why is this happening ..
    At the same time chappathis bought from stores remain soft even after 10 days . Are they using any special ingredient to keep the chappathis soft . Pleas help me out .. Thanks and regards ..
