hey which American rice do u use for Dosa batter...i tried Carolina rice(Paraboiled rice)...but due to this shortage m not getting at my end.

ok so i was correct abt rice..this paraboiled rice is good for making Dosa...as wid ling grain rice i didnt get regular dosa.

hey
i brought wheat flour from Giant...and their service is so good...i asked before goin if this flour is available...n without any hesitation they told me too.
i made roti with this flour...but i couldnt make soft roti....do i need to add more oil/ghee...as wid Sujata/Nature fresh i never get this problem.
may be with lil more practice i can make soft roti's.

once again thanks to You!

Hi all,

Still, we are not getting Pillsbury and Sujata atta here in our city.

But the Nirav brand whole wheat flour is very good. Every time i make, I get soft chapathis and parathas. It has excellent flavor and texture too !

Do give this a try if it is available in your area..!

Cheers
Krithika
