I always wonder what I'm missing out on because I don't know any better. They especially have so many different types of flour that I was wondering what they use them for. I love the deserts too.

    • Indian groceries mainly have atta which is whole wheat flour and maida which are refined wheat flour, then there is Rava which is semolina, then rice flour and gram flour which is chickpea flour. There is also Ragi/ Millet flour, but I'm not sure if it's available in US. Dosa and idlis might seem a little too much of hassle with getting fermentation and the proporations right since it will end up too sour if it's kept for longer, so the wheat flatbreads like parathas might be easier. If you get rice flakes, you can also try the easiest breakfast poha. Mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric and curry leaves are there in almost all accompanying dishes

  • I'm 47 and my family grew up with an Indian friend that has owned a restaurant for over 30 years, I've been eating there (and many other places) since I was a teenager. I always get excited to turn people on to the cuisine, and until a few years ago I thought my knowledge was up to date because I know many of the dishes (pallak aloo/paneer, kormas, aloo ghobi, vindaloo etc...), however in the last couple of years I've realized that I still have a limited knowledge of their dishes (and that we all call it Indian, although there are Pakistani variants). It's nice to watch these videos that show other variants and I hope they catch on. Dosa, for example, was not really known until the last decade or so. Even biryani was not easily found just a few years ago.

  • Paniyaram reminds me very much of the Danish pancakes known as aebleskiver, made in a very similar pan. Aebleskiver do not have all the vegetable ingredients though, just a pancake-style batter, and they are made to be served sweet, with powdered sugar and syrup or jam. Traditionally they had bits of apple or an applesauce center, which is where they got the name, but it is commonly omitted now.

If you have stomach and gut issues, eat Idli everyday for breakfast as your gut will be clean in the morning.
