Tht's right Suvai... u can manage to cook with the usual kettle aswell but will need to be switched on n off freq...This model is very convenient and doesn't need much monitoring once u get the hold of it... Without the ready mix, I doubt if we'll be able to cook much... seasoning can't be done in the kettle I guess...never tried it so far... Actually the ready mixes are very handy...the rasam powder and upma mix is a big hit at home... I make rasam out of the instant mix atleast once a week... Sambar powder-I made a batch without the dhal... Just cook dhal, vegs,tomato(all put together in a cooker) and then add the mix and give a nice boil.. quick sambar...

dev....ivolo vishayam can be made in that kettle....apo athuku "super kettle" nu per maathidanum
really.....who would have guessed making all that in a kettle..eh!!.....amazing thaan!!!

Friends, Meerra, asked me to wish you all goodbye.
She had a hectic time here visiting all the relatives.
She promised to chip in when ever time permits.

She is a very busy person.
Goes to work at 7.30 a.m. Comes home at 6.30 p.m
Has a family to take care, weekends are spent with cooking, cleaning,
shopping and taking care of children's studies.
I am very very grateful to her and rest of my forum friends,
for keeping the thread moving during my absence.
Thanks again friends. Kugan

My dear P.S Tamby, as to what I know,
Kal dosai is thick and spongy, where as normal dosai is thin and crispy.
Maybe they added little kal (toddy) to ferment the kal dosai
I do not know, can anyone enlighten my P.S Tamby?
Thanks. Kugan
