It is such an easy healthy lunch or snack. <br /><br />I always find it interesting to see recipes for Indian food, because my mom is an excellent cook & knows how to make both regular everyday Indian meals (shak-bat-rotli) and fancier things (loving latika & khandvi, for instance) just from what she learned when growing up. I'm so jealous because I would totally be dependent on recipes, at least for now!Yathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219965706508778687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-74606347226759038012009-08-03T17:14:34.331-06:002009-08-03T17:14:34.331-06:00Jenni, when other flours are used, the recipe chan...<b>Jenni</b><i>, when other flours are used, the recipe changes slightly and those versions are called dhebra.

I like to use millet, barley, wheat, gram and rice flour. I actually have a hand powered mill which I can use to grind flour from wholegrains, and this makes the bread taste even more wonderful.

Feel free to use less besan. I gave in and bought chundo - I prefer to call it chhunda but it confuses Medha. You should hear her say chundo. Just yogurt sprinkled with one of your fab chaat masalas shoudl also work!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Delhibelle</B><I>, I think it does! Good to have you here on IFR!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Nirmala</B><I>, you are so lucky! I am going to have to grow my own or use frozen methi.</I><BR/><BR/><B>Jayasree</B><I>, thanks!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Sunita</B><I>, when they are hot off the tava, they are slightly crisper than rotis. But given how much oil is used - both in the dough and while cooking them - they become soft and pliable once they cool.</I><BR/><BR/><B>Sia</B><I>, they should be as thin as possible. Theplas are not thick. Dhebras on the other hand, are.</I><BR/><BR/><B>Trupti</B><I>, yes! I knew you would like these! I need to get fresh jiralu soon! Dahi sprinkled with jiralu is so refreshing!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Bhawana</B><I> thanks! You will love it!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Pooja</B><I>, go make some now!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Sheetal</B><I>, mine is really old and I think I bought it at either Apna Bazar or Sahakari Bhandar in Bombay. It's a fun tool. According to this <A HREF="http://www.ishopindian.com/shop/masher-roti-press-c-68-p-1-pr-22959.html" REL="nofollow">site</A>, it is used to remove air bubbles from dough and press dough into rotis. I've only ever used it while cooking parathas and theplas on the tava. I make lukh-lukhith phulkis :-D and they don't need any such pampering!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Purnima</B><I>, you had to go join the ranks of those types, didn't you?! But I'll have you know that every time I do post a recipe, I lose readers. Yup, the number of subscribers to my feeds actually drops. So maybe I shouldn't post them at all! <BR/><BR/>And, have you heard of this wonderful thing called Google?</I> ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Divya</B><I>, they are yum!</I><BR/><BR/><B>Alka</B><I>, sounds like you have a lot of water in your dough. What do you bind the dough with? Use yogurt if you have been using water. And you do need a fair amount of oil in the dough, too. See how oily my dough looks? When you blend the leaves, do you add water? Try using yogurt instead and when you make your dough, add more yogurt only as needed. The dough should not be sticky nor too firm. It should be pliable.</I><BR/><BR/><B>musical</B><I>, you are so right! They are great for traveling or on camping trips. </I><BR/><BR/><B>Pel</B><I>, as you can see ketchup was her answer, too!</I>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-45605992733844481832008-10-10T12:05:00.000-06:002008-10-10T12:05:00.000-06:00Oh!
