As Indians, it is very unusual for us to verbalize the fact that we love our near and dear ones... the truth can be said of West Indian Indians as well. Growing up my mom never verbalized her feelings but we <i>knew</i> that she and my dad loved us (I grew up in a bi-racial home). Dad never said it either and I Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-43993715892100375422010-11-18T12:59:49.237-05:002010-11-18T12:59:49.237-05:00Instead of roasting and powdering urad dal, Pressu...Instead of roasting and powdering urad dal, Pressure cook equal amount of urad and moong dal and then make batter out of cooked dals.

Go for it!!<br /><br />Girija, very good tips. I think the last time I added very little water and that perhaps was also one reason besides the press being brand new.indosungodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556193051268397994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-11459512469771100062010-11-16T00:53:06.327-05:002010-11-16T00:53:06.327-05:00I know, my parents would probably wonder what came...I know, my parents would probably wonder what came over me if I said this kind of stuff to them - on other occasions, I've been told not to be dramatic and spew "cinema dialogues".srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-46922961980728265862010-11-15T16:45:25.210-05:002010-11-15T16:45:25.210-05:00love the pic and so very tempting.love the pic and so very tempting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381030520215535446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-51482777756713086582010-11-15T16:45:17.402-05:002010-11-15T16:45:17.402-05:00love the pic and so very tempting.love the pic and so very tempting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381030520215535446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-32555407346231443172010-11-15T16:43:02.349-05:002010-11-15T16:43:02.349-05:00Hi Indo,
