  12. Would this taste as good without the chiles? I can’t eat anything spicy. Is there something else I could add for flavor without the heat from the chiles? Thanks!

  16. Dear Manjula,

    Thank you very much for your great service of putting these great recipes on the web. I am a vegan so most of your recipes are very usefull for me.

    We are going to have a food fair on a Saturday from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm to raise money for our temple to build a meditation centre (to provide free meditation for the public.) We are going to offer Masala Dosa there. We are going to make the Masala Aloo the night before. My worry is that it might go off by the following day afternoon. What do you think if we put it in a fridge and heat up little by little on the fair day? Please give your suggestion.

    Thanks and Best Regards- Rashmi

  21. Hi Manjula,

    Just wanted to let you know that I tried this reciepe and it came out great. The only extra thing I added was onions because its a must for me. Though I didnt stuff the masala inside Dosa but had it seperately with Dosa. Also a good combination is to have with Rice and Curd ,Very yummy 🙂

    Cheers,
    Krish

  26. I really enjoy the method of your cooking, My North Indian friend Meena was helping me in fact to trace your site as she was very successful in following your recipe. Me too.. Tom

  28. Hi Manjula Aunty,

    Thanks so much! i made the vegetable pulao that was on ur site and it came out so wonderful that too on my Husband’s first birthday after our marriage! Thanks so much!

    Just saw that yours is not too old a poasting. So you have given uponions/garlic – and are finding it difficult.

    My dear – India is the cradle of Vaisnava and Jain cooking.

    There are Hare Krisna cook books which omit onion and garlic. However, you will generally find that Tamil and Gujerati recipes abound that don’t use onion/garlic. Replace with Hing.
    Like baking without eggs. There absolutely wonderous recipes on internet for egless baking – and you can get good advice on many of these from users.

    Enjoy your new culinary adventure!! Here in the midst of Budapest I have just made three wonderful chutneys, and am about to do my allo for the dosa filling. I have fermented my batter in a wide-necked thermos. And I think it will taste wonderful!! It’s not the sort of food you can get in restaurants here – as the few Indian restaurants that are here are pretty poor.I do much better!!

  30. Hi Manjulaji,

    I love your website! I am getting married soon and even though my fiance doesnt expect me to cook.. I WANT to make delicious healthy food for him. But since we both stopped eating ANYTHING with onion and garlic in, I was having trouble finding good vegetarian recipes. Now you have provided the solution! Yippee.. am excited about cooking for him now 😀 Thanks sooo much!

  38. Dear Manjula,
    Many thanks for so many excellent recipes.
    Whenever I watched your YOU TUBE recipes, I didnt only look at your way of cooking, preparing or at the ingredients used but also how nicely you keep your kitchen neat and clean with simple, transparent utensils which is very attractive, to the eyes. Cooking based on your recipes are not only welcomed by hungary stomachs but I think people become greedy all though their stomach is full 🙂
    Last but not the least !! – I liked it very much when I read your words ” NEVER MIND IF IT DOESNT TURN OUT THE WAY IT IS SHOWN IN THE RECIPE, BE HAPPY YOU HAVE CREATED A NEW RECIPE !!
    Thanks a lot and keep up the good work !!
    Kind regards
    Sangeeta

  43. Hello Manjula, I am new as a vegetarian and when watching you cook on your videos, I could almost smell the great aroma coming from your cooking. I had never eaten food from your culture before but it now one of my most favorites and I appreciate you taking the time to share such wonderful recipes with myself and others. May you have much Peace and Blessings, Dee

  45. Dear Manjulaji,
    Namaskar! Your allo sabji for dosa is good one. I added like South Indians 1 teaspoon of Chana dal and 1tsp. of Dhuli Urad Dal when jeera starts cracking and fry for few seconds till it gives nutty smell. South Indians also use onions but I don’t want to put that as it is not pure vegetarian for many of us.
    Thank you for your simple and delicious recipes.
    Poppy

  49. Hello Manjula aunty

    I like your simple style of cooking. The dishes look appetising ! I’m waiting to try a few.
    Am excited that I found your website. Have already shared the link with my friends.

    Thank you !

  50. Dear Manjula,

    I have just come across your site and have seen your recipes. Also your video. They all look very appetising and I am just waiting to try them especially the dahi wadas. I’m sure they will come out well.

    Thanks and look forward to trying them out soon.

    Regards,
    Norma

  51. Namaste Manjula ji, I have tried recipes from many websites but your style is very different and you remind me of my mother and her cooking. The Aloo paratha recipe posted by you turned out to be the best paratha I ever ate. Thank you so much for sharing your home style excellent cooking with us and I look forward to see and try many more new recepes in coming days.

    God bless you.

  54. manjulaji
    Iam a southIndian.I like your receipies.I made vegetable cutlet.It came well.My husband,son and dauhterinlaw liked verymuch.Thank u for yourspicy potato also.I willtry your other recipes also.Thank you verymuch.I pray for your goodhealth.

  58. ANOTHER VARIATION:
    You can also use this potato dish to make “Aloo Toast” or “Potato Toast”. Make it like you would any grilled sandwich.
    Spread about half inch thick of potato mixture on a slice of bread. Plain white bread works well, but wheat would probably taste fine also.
    Cover with another slice of bread and gently pat the bread into the mixture so it “sticks” to the potato and won’t fall about when you flip it during grilling.
    Lightly butter each side of the sandwich and grill in a frying pan on medium high heat until golden brown on each side. Press down with the spatula on each side as you cook it.
    Serve with your choice of green coriander chutney (hari chutni) or tomato ketchup. Kids also love this sandwich.
    This isn’t the most nutritious sandwich, but it’s yummy in a comfort food kind of way. Enjoy!

    1. Jaya Hi this is Monica,
      I tried the reciepe and I also made sandwiches on the grill – they were delicous.. I served green salad on the side and it made a great meal.

  59. I made this last night and just served it as a side dish with my black eyed peas. It was wonderful and I ate the rest as leftovers today. You have a great website and I look forward to trying more of your recipes. The videos are also very helpful. I’m so glad that I found your website!

    Thank you for sharing your cooking skills with us!!
