Twice now I've attempted to make your naan recipe exactly as instructed. Both times the dough was so sticky it wouldn't come off of my hands or the bowl. I added flour in small amounts until it was no longer sticky. The problem was the naan turned out very tough, not nice and soft how it should be. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?</p> <p>Thank you again! </p> http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/topic.php?id=82#post-184 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:47:11 +0000 Manjula 184@http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/ <p>Hi Drashti,<br /> You can find corn starch in any american grocery store.

I attempted to make it from a recipe I found on the internet. Not sure what I did wrong but it came out sticky and the consistency was wrong. It was a simple recipe using milk, paneer and sugar, but very time consuming due to cooking and stirring the milk to reduce. Do you have a recipe for Kalakand?</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/topic.php?id=72#post-166 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:48:20 +0000 Likes2eat 166@http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/ <p>I purchased some asafoetida today and even in the sealed bottle I found the smell was very strong and nauseating. I could hardly stand to be in the car with it on the drive home. I read that it is a substitute ingredient for onions and garlic. Can garlic and onions be used instead of asafoetida, or is it an important ingredient in its own right? What's the secret to using this pungent ingredient?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/topic.php?id=71#post-165 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:59:37 +0000 Sunitha 165@http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/ <p>Dear Manjula ji,<br /> I liked all the recipes you showed. Can I request you to add a video showing how to make ghee at home? I live in US and I do not like the store bought ghee. It would be helpful if you can tell us how to make it from scratch (how to make it from milk) as well as how to make it from store bought butter.<br /> Thank you </p> http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/topic.php?id=70#post-164 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:37:06 +0000 Manjula 164@http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/ <p>I know you can but I dont have yet very good recipe but I am working on it. </p> http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/topic.php?id=70#post-163 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:17:36 +0000 Likes2eat 163@http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/forum/ <p>I do not own a pressure cooker, but would like to make Rasmalai.
