[Shovelware]

[lillypie691]

[free510]

hello manjula Aunty..

can I add onion instead of Zuccini??

[rubinashakir]

can you please show how to use egg instead of cheese in the dosa

[helenmarella]

Namaste and thank you so much for this excellent video. I have just returned from India and love the food I had.(We weren at a homestay in New Delhi) I want to learn how to cook more Indian dishes and you have made this possible. I purchased some gram flour and my son found this video for me 'cause I love zucchini. Can't wait to make it and then watch some more videos. Again a warm thank you from my 65 year old heart that is still loving to learn new recipes.

[mpanchal85]

Thank you Manjulaji for this receipe. I tried it many times and it turned out very well. My husband and me love this receipe. Thank you so muchhhhhh :)

[farhanakhan1000]

hello aunty how can we make rice flour instead of buying from market

[Birdshavewings]

I love your channel, however, please show us how to make a pile more quickly for a big, hungry family. I suppose you would keep them warm in the oven. I'd like to see a multi-dish meal prepared for at least four, if you would please. I love your recipes and the very clear, straight-forward way you present them. Thanks so much.

[1slamicLife]

I can't wait to make these insha Allah. But I want to try them on an iron griddle. Non stick cookware is just too full of toxins.

[sarmadlol]

this is very good

[vidhuma20]

I tried this last night.. and my husband loved it.. Great/easy recipe!!

[Stoory]

Thanks for this useful video. You have helped this wheat intolerant Scotsman to make some tasty bread wraps ;)

Re "Yogurt is to cool down the spices in whatever you add".

According to Ayurveda - the ancient system of Indian healthcare, its not good to eat yoghurt as it makes the body acid and sour. Instead Ayurveda recommends adding the yoghurt to a glass of water to make tasty lassi. Its much better for you..

Neither should milk be drunk with vegetables, fruit or salty dishes.

[dreamcatcher2242]

Great....absolutely delicious



[skinnypigeon]

Absolutely Amazing Aunty! Thank You so very much indeed for sharing your experience with us. What a simple and nutritious snack this could be.

[ssharma851]

hello aunty... i m big fan of urs...u r my guru...

can u please tell how can we make puda ( jaggery) , n gulgula.( jaggery) ..we make it on guga navmi (festival)....they both are made from gud (jaggery)

[FindKPeff]

My roommate made these in college, but I think he used wheat flour. They were delicious, and he used serranos which were good and spicy.

Do you ever make a batch of these and keep them warm for 10-15 minutes to serve them alongside something else? I'm thinking of using these instead of a tortilla for fish tacos with some fresh salsa on top.

[MrSophia1]

can you here write that recipe ? I see all what you do but I not understand you good :(

[123skullmaker]

looks very yummmy

[MrSophia1]

tomorrow I do :) I love Indian eat :) greetings from Germany :)) kiss for you and thx

[venkyprakashmcc]

its a recipe for 6 dosa,, and first scoop is of 1/3 rd of the mixture,, so its for 3 only .. right..?

[ahamatmabrahman]

I made these tonight I didn't have any rice flour or zukini so i used brown wheat flour and carrots instead. We enjoyed them ! Thank you Manjula 3~

[Maeven6]

I love your recipes and have cooked Indian food for ages but these videos are very instructive. Thanks.

[LovedByMeBeautifully]

Hello,Mrs.Manjula! Can a cucumber be used instead of zucchini or would that be too much water content? After u shredded the zucchini, did u squeeze the water from it?Thank you kindly.

[10Fountainhead]

Manula ji..Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Your husband must be a really happy man:)

Regards.

[10Fountainhead]

Manula ji..Thanks for sharing this recpie.

Your husband must be a really happy man:)

Regards.

[GrapeLola]

I am so hungry now. I have to pick up some rice flour and chutney tomorrow.

[mayekarja]

i want to add raising flour instead of rice flour , will it work

[Kimbo4x]

This recipe would be great for diabetics because it is a garbanzo bean flour. Thank you for all you do to teach healthy recipes!

[anurag9970]

you can add onions also in this.... i make such at my home... they taste very good

[fr1174a]

Hi Manjula,

Congratulations on ALL of your recepies! I am from Venezuela but I am loving Indian food, learning with you. Thank you

[jennycouncil]

mmmm!! had this for lunch today AND yesterday, right after watching. I made a version from an Indian cookbook before, but it wasn't as good. The rice flour you add lightens the dosa up nice - it was too heavy with just besan. Also I just used veggies I had in the house and it was delicious both times - yesterday; fine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped parsley.Today grated carrot, finely chopped celery, celery leaf and brocolli. With yogurt & mango chutney - FANTASTIC quick brunch!

[anamalhi]

hellow aunty is this for lunch or brakefast? im trying to cooked this for my husband im samoan and my husband is punjabi thanks

[Manjulaskitchen]

@anamalhi

I make this mostly for breakfast but you can also serve this for lunch or dinner.

[YitzySteigen]

Thanks so much for the recipe! I made your aloo paratha, tonight. It was good. I'll try this dish, tomorrow! All the best to you and yours. Great Job! Yitzchak

[bonheurbelle]

Manjula your recipes look wonderful and will let you know how my family liked it.

[mrduu]

thank you Manjula mataji,

I was wondering if the cumin seeds are cooked well, or are they meant to be uncooked?

[didz1982]

thank you Aunti....this looks delicious...

[TheNazoli]

Can we use shredded cabbage instead of Zucchini????

[Manjulaskitchen]

@TheNazoli

Shredded Cabbage will be great.

[meadow227]

i loved this recipe. it's delicious, nutritious, inexpensive and filling. i used shredded cabbage, carrots, and onion with a whole bunch of indian spices. this will become a staple in my diet. thank you!

[jrabcs]

thanks! this is a delicious recipe, and my husband loves it now, too. :) we are celiac, so can't have any wheat or gluten, so a new recipe using flours we can use is very exciting. thanks again.

[indaboy2]

thanku it was very halpful

[indaboy2]

thanku

[poojraj]

[amyalix1]

[portlandbells99]

Beautiful !!! Thank you for making this video :))

[msbre1022]

Thanks for the yummy recipe. I love indian food but hate going out to eat for it all the time so am starting to make more and more at my home. My Dad loves it and since he works at my office, he will love this one. He likes more spicy than me, but that seemed easy enough to alter to make both of us happy. Thanks for your informative videos!

[kalyani2k]

Hi Manjula Aunty,

Is there any alternative Vege to Zuccini ?

In India there is no Zuccini available in the market

[Manjulaskitchen]

@kalyani2k

You can use loki or chopped spinach.

[kaushikack]

@kalyani2k Zuccini is known as torai..........most common indian vegetable.

[jatindhian]

@kalyani2k you can add indian green Squash

[rippankang]

Just AWESOME...!!!!!!!!!...

[Yashodadidi]

Dear Manjula, is there a way how to make rice flour at home from raw or cooked rice? Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!

[dyp627]

I tried this recipe today. I must say, it was super easy. WE LOVED IT... thank you so much for sharing with us. Much love and many smiles from Washington DC

[SoulfulMizzT]

Hello Manjula, I just wanted to thank you for one of the most delicious recipes I've ever tasted!! I am on a restricted diet (no wheat or dairy) and have been searching for a satisfactory replacement for bread...and this is it! Now one of my favorite foods, for sure. :D

[ruha0vej]

can i use corn starch instead of rice flour? thx!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ruha0vej

If you don’t have rice flour do without it but do not substitute with corn starch.

[hdestiny2005]

hi can i put onion+ginger+tomoto for more taste or its cooked like this simple thx..

[Manjulaskitchen]

@hdestiny2005

I will suggest first you try this way and after that try with other ingredients.

[bingobastard]

Thank you for sharing, Manjula! I always thought Indian cooking was too complicated for me to do, but you make it easy and delicious! I also love your Muthia recipe, but this one was great, too.

[MackerelCat]

Manjula, thankyou so much for all your recipes, I have learned so much.

[Lindamiami9]

looks yummy. i will give it try as soon as i get my hand into some indian spices/

You should sell the spices on the net. What do you think?

Xoxo

[suvarna66]

Hii mam...

i tried this recipe....its amazing than i thought...i was bit worried abt taste but its very delicious....best thing is its not sticking to the pan unlike normal urad dal dosa..

thanks for quick yummy recipe....

[karachikabhai]

Allah bless you, and take you in his command,

Thank you very much for this recipe.

Hope you will deliver more.

Best regard

karachikabhai

[MsPriyaSingh]

Hello Aunty ji, thank you so much for sharing your great work. I am able to impress my hubby with your recipes.

I cant find rice flour, can I add normal atta with besan?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MsPriyaSingh

do without rice flour.

[bakerdave76]

i have made this a few times now this is a very good recipe

[mysticradio]

is gram flour the same as chickpea flour? is that how they make masala dosa? wiht potato>

[rodica69]

DONE! :) we eat them with cheese and tomatoes! de-li-cious!

The only thing had to take care of was to make the pudas thin enough - if thicker, they got burned on the outside until I waited them to get ready in the middle. (they had to be rather french-crepes-style then northamerican-pancake-style).

Many thanks for the recipe from Romania, dear Manjula! :)

[zartajasrar]

Hello Aunty,apart 4rm zuccini wat else cn i add 2 the batter?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@zartajasrar

Try spinach, fenugreek leaves, Laucki, potatoes

[lucialiljegren]

I've been looking for chickpea recipes. This looks great. Thanks.

[OurThoughtExactly]

[WodeBanayProductions]

mmm delicious, this went down well with my husband!

[Snowleopaard]

I enjoyed 'discovering' you so very much yesterday and today I made two of your recipes! (See comments under Cilantro Chutney). The Besan Puda was a big hit. Delicious. The one thing that surprized me was that I only had 2 Pudas with the tomato (1/2 a small one) a few cucumber slices (my addition), the Cilantro Chutney and some (Greek Style) yoghurt and it was very satisfying.

I too want to say you teach clearly, like an auntie at home!

Thank you very much.

[cookingwithclass]

Manjula will be teaching in San Diego at Cooking With Class on Friday, February 19 at 6pm. Her menu for the evening Vegetable Pakoras, Lentil Soup, Palak Paneer, Rice and Sooji Halwa (dessert). Price per person includes food, beverages, appetizers and recipes... Come join us at Cooking With Class for great eats!

[richamalhotraus]

Amazing Recipe!!! Thanks aunty!!!

[XernaKlan]

Manjula you're just awesome! I was always afraid of making this pancake, thinking it was an intricate dish, but you make it so easy and helped me think of varieties for stuffings. Hmmm yummy!!!! You're the best! Like a mama's cooking!

[bellehaup]

It looks great, but I'm new to Indian food. What do you do with the yogurt? As a dip for the bread? So that you take it and dip once in the chutney and again in the yogurt?

[XernaKlan]

The yogurt is to cool down the spices in whatever you add. As you saw she has green chiles. For any hot food, adding yogurt or any dairy product or milk, it'll cool your mouth down.

Next time you eat Indian, Mexican or any of those hot cuisines, instead of chugging down water when your eyes are about to pop out, how about drinking a bit of milk or taking a dab of yogurt? :-D

[youngmummy81]

Hello Manjula

thank u for showing me to cook such yummy indian food. im german but i usually cook indish because its more spicy.

The best thing about your show is that it gives a homely feeling-like my mom teaching me to cook. Thank you very much for your recipes which are of great help for married people like me who do not know much about cooking.

[kumkumsum]

[DaveChorowskiMusic]

zuchini is a common vegtable kind of like a cucumber it cam be purchased at almost any super market or vegtable market

[kumkumsum]

Zucchin is courgette ,

U can google it.

[hipretty]

do a search on "yellow squash"...this is similar when cooked up.

[osocali]

Yes Manjula I agree with Kadaejam....Food Chanel would be lucky to have you I made Chola Tikki and it was tasty...I recently lost my mother and you remind me of her...your are so peaceful and practical when you cook....it relaxes me...oh yeah it's delicious too...God Bless You Manjula....

[kadaejam]

you are an excellent cook , have you ever thought of having your own show , I think food channels in America need an Indian chef

[rgsalcedo]

Namaste Manjula aunty, You are excellent I have just discovered you and am really fascinated. I have recently created a blog about food recipes and I'll recommend your videos to all my visitors.

Raúl

[sonusayien]

cud u plz tell me what is zuchini?

[bethelcarmel]

i love ur hands that cook... genuine and original recipe!

[goelshikha2001]

Mam,can we add a little mint leaves to puda batter ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

sound great,

[juzplain]

why must you include rice flour in the puda recipe? is it necessary?

[Manjulaskitchen]

rice flour gives more crispness to puda.

[aryaksh]

Can we make these pudas even without zucchini?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you dont need to add zucchini.

[swissnina]

Awesome recipe..didnt know besan could be so versatile...am gonna buy a kilo of it, and make it...thank you so much Manjula aunty! My husband is so lucky that i found you :-)

[savita1926]

Why not add Yogart in mexture? Couple of table spoon of yogurt will test fine also.

[siemprefiel08]

this last one looks lke a mexican quesadilla

[Ichliebemusikundybd]

I adore your videos! You're a brilliant woman!

[FarhanaP64]

Manjula Apu, I really really like your recipes because of their simplicity. I can literally follow you through every step of the way. I will try your recipes and make my Bengali friends jealous.

[flushnut]

These are great! Thanks for sharing.

[ChuckSmagman11]

This looks really good, specially the one with the cheddar cheese...!

[sujeenathan]

This woman is the best!

[lyngdohlisa]

[paulreeve]

Thank you for showing how it is done Manjula. My friends bought me several bags of Gram Flour recently as they know I love to make Onion Bhajee. I now have so much flour that I have to find a different recipe to use it with. This is just what I need !

[tosikuai]

can i grind rice and make a power instead of adding rice flour??

[farfer1]

Thank you. I have been in Canada for 8 years and remember my mom making great food. But now I have the proof in your videos how to make the food as it should be for me Indian.

[handsomejfp]

[aa1221bb1]

[soniavaidya2002]

[soniavaidya2002]

[jattincanadanow]

oh aunti tussi great ho!!!

[sonia21]

very nice.thanx aunty.u r very nice.

i have a request.i wana learn besan laddu.plzz teach if u can lzz..

thanx

[tarahelene7]

Manjula~I just love your recipes and love watching you cook. Thank you.

[FlamingHound]

I have realized my mistake after finding the meaning of "besan." I did not realize the recipe needed chickpea flour. I thought it was calling for udad (black gram) flour, since that is traditionally used to make dosas. Please, you should clarify this. Thank you.

[pjammin00]

besan is garbanzo bean flour not chickpea flour

[vermagic]

garbanzos and chickpeas are the same thing

[FlamingHound]

Something went wrong when I made it. 3/4 cup of water was not nearly enough. It was far too thick. I had to put at least 2 cups of water to get it to the right thickness. Also, the flour quickly got very lumpy when I added the water, which made it very difficult to mix. It did not get lumpy in the video. Can you please explain? I followed the directions exactly. I used 3/4 cup udad (black gram) flour and 1/4 cup rice flour. After cooking, it was browned but too moist in the middle.

[Manjulaskitchen]

This recipe use Basen you will find basen in any indian grocery store.

[FlamingHound]

the amount of water listed in the Ingredients is not accurate. 3/4 cup is not nearly enough water.

[2maximus]

Thanks Manjula for the recipe and your talented display of Indian cooking. You make it look easy.

[shirodkararpita]

Hi pls tell me meaning of ingredients 'shredded zucchini'.

I love ur receipes, thank you.

[alex7700585]

I made them tonight and they are DELICIOUS and thank you again, Manjula for demistifying Indian cooking.

[santurao]

great. but wat was the last ingredient.

[preeta001]

hi Aunty, i saw ur video and just made the puda.. it tastes very good and very easy to make also.. thank you so much for the recipe.

[vjonna08]

Saw your video - asked my wife to make - ate with pleasure. Thanks a lot Manjula aunty!

[kahooli1]

wow..lokks really tasty.Will try it this weekend.Thanks

[kanthiava]

hai aunty,I just seen ur video twice.But what is that last ingredient u had added from cup..I dint get that..Can u tell me..

[horrormike]

mmm these videos are wonderful. thank you for giving a bored vegan some wonderful ideas!

[sweepee78]

This receipe just made my mouth water! Would you eat this as breakfast, lunch or dinner? Do you eat this with plain yogurt? And what is the other sauce? Do you make it or buy it?

Hope to hear back from you soon =)

[Manjulaskitchen]

basen puda is mostly for breakfast but can be serve any time as light meal. the sause is hari chutney or cilantri chutny I have the recipe for that and yogurt is always good.
