  1. Hello Manjula Aunty,

    I am searching for your cabbage recipe which I tried 7 years ago and I liked it a lot. I made it for my son’s birthday and it was huge success. Everyone liked it. It is made with cabbage and if I remember correctly, it is mixed with gram flour and other spices and steamed . Can you please send me the recipe for that? I am actually not a big fan of cabbage but I liked this recipe. It was very tasty and everyone in my family loved it!!!

    Thank you,
    Aruna

  5. Tried your recipe for BATATA VADA. It was good. Thank you. I will try the soup. If some feel ginger is strong,in the soup, may be, before grinding, the ginger piece can be taken out and discarded.

  6. Thank you for this lovely recipe, Manjula. I have been following your blog for a while, but this is the first comment I’ve left. I’m an American living in Germany and absolutely love Indian cuisine. I notice you do not use garlic or onion very much – do you use hing instead? Once I had put in too much hing I think…I’m not so sure when to use it, because not sure what flavor it gives when cooked. Thank you!

    1. Hi, I am German and I love Indian food! I learnt so much from this website and I am so happy for all the ideas. It is very interesting to see and to learn how Indians cook. Thank you so much for all what I learnt!

    2. No you can not use hing(asafetida) instead of onion and garlic. Most of the Indian recipe quantity of hing used as pinch size and usually in tadka (in heated oil after poppy seed or cumin seed). Hope it helps.
