Hi
look very lovely. urad dal generally used in south not in Gujarati food. I tested some of dishes with urad dal they are very testy like it.
Any kitchen gadget available to chop all onion in same size as shown in picture.
Wish u Happy Janmastmi!
good taste
@upendra glad u liked urad dal recipes. for chopping onions, there are couple of gadgets available in market. but these onion chopping processors are no good when compared to a sharp chopping knife.
Thanks for repying Rajiji. When we fry Medu Vada or any Bhajias like Fenu greek leaves mixed or Wheat Puris. After frying all these stuff too much oil still remain inside,even after placing on paper towels. Would you advise. Kitchen is also like r&d platform.
i know few tips. hope they help.
add few pinches of rock salt to hot oil (ie. before deep frying)
mix the recipe right. too much water in medu vada or bhajis or puris absorb more oil when deep fried.
strain the deep fried stuff for couple of seconds before removing into a bowl.
etc…
hey! it looks good
