I used to grind a lot in that. I gave it off because I had stopped using it because of the new Ultra Grinder I bought!<br /><br />I had some Maharashtrian friends and Gujarati friends when I lived in Hosur. Everybody fell for idli and dosa and they learned to make it...even saambaar powder. They used to send saambaar powder to their relatives too who got addicted to idly saambaar!<br /><br />Felt very very happy, reading this South praising post, Rahulji!

The first "best-friend" was from Kerala and we were together from kindergarten till class VII. We haven't met after that but are still in touch. And I am going to see her this month, after 15 years and we're going to explore the whole of Kerala together. This post couldn't have come on a better time, for me :P<br /><br />While reading, I was looking for hints about eateries to visit but then I remembered that I have bullied this friend of mine since last 15 years over hand-written letters, emails, smses and phone-calls to send me her hand-cooked doasas because I just can't believe she has the magic that her mom had :P<br /><br />I have had a short stint at Infosys, Mysore for three months but didn't quite enjoy the food there maybe because I was always missing my parathas and rajma/choley chaval. But when I decided to give it a skip and settle for dosas of different kinds, there was no looking back. It is another story that I didn't have anything remotely south Indian for a year after that :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310927633438983428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614247118171115616.post-39206575656604369662013-04-08T22:53:57.758-05:002013-04-08T22:53:57.758-05:00Thanks a lot Lady Fi!Thanks a lot Lady Fi!Rahul Bhatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690287853990880735noreply@blogger.com
