    I really like your dosa proportions, I usually just make regular dosa and serve it stuffed with potato masala, this is way more exotic!

  22. seena,could u pls tel me how 2 make chapathi s n puri s soft?

    ReplyDelete
  23. S, Adding warm milk while making chappathi dough will make it softer.I normally do add hot water and little oil to the dough.The dough should not be hard in consistency.Please check the puri and chappathi recipes here.. Good luck, thank you! :)
