Vasu Garu,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm staying at Vizianagarm. I work for State Bank of India, but give preference to managing my house. I'm presently a house-wife.

Dear Gayatri

We have all got our own struggles in life. You however have done something positive in your struggle.

I am inspired by your example and my eyes filled with tears when I read that you used the time while fighting discrimination to come up with this website.

This gives me strength and also a huge amount of respect for you.

You are a very good cook too.

I normally dont comment on any postings but I felt that you are one in a million.

I wish you the very best in your life.

May God bless you and your family.

Best regards

Krishna

Congratulations. God bless you keeping up your spirits always high. Your site is very useful to all. You have made best use of the time off the work thanks to inhuman approach of the SBI hierarchy.

There is another lady here with three daughters in school/college who was given tranfer orders in the evening to join the new station next morning. She did not oblige them and now fighting like you.

I am also running a one-man show here in the IICD. But yet to develop a site. This discipline "COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT" is not taught in any college/university in India and none offers a degree in it.

My son who is in California sent me your web address.

Wishing you all success in your good socially useful work.

Best Wishes.

Lavanya Garu and Kalyani Garu,

Thanks for the feedback and interest in my recipes. The edible gum available in India is Guar Gum. I use it in my recipes because it is easily available. However, I understand there are substitutes available in other parts of the world. The following link may be useful

Namaskaram Gayatri Garu! We Tamil Brahmins don't use so much onion in sambar let alone big one's. We use shallots. Also you use a lot of oil. I love Telugu Brahmin cooking and your recipes sound and look good. I made this sambar but it turned out to be too sweet, looks like I have to use less jaggery. How much coriander powder do I use in lieu of seeds? Great recipe! Dhanyavadulu!

October 27, 2011 11:38 AM

S Gayatri Devi Sharma said...

Devi Garu,

I think you have used iron pan in the first instance. Season it thoroughly before using it so that the rava dosa would leave the pan and comes out easily.

As regards non-stick pan I think you need use a concave pan which is deep in the middle compared to the flat pan. Start pouring the batter from the edges so that the loose batter collects in the center and you get good rava dosas

Hi Gayatri,

I was looking for some recipe's randomly and found your blog in top search results. Honestly, I did not even go through a single recipe of yours before writing this post. Your response to "Why My Videos in Telugu?" made me write this post. Simply marvelous. One must respect ones mother tongue and use it comfortably on daily basis. I feel most comfortable to speak in my mother tongue and enjoy the most at it. Meeru adagachu enduku English lo theliyachesthunnanu ani? I want most people to understand my post, that's why i wrote in English.

Gayatri Garu.,

Read your "Weight Reduction Tips" quoted in LifeStyle tab.. Awesome..

Oflate I realized that I am over weight.. and started to workout since about a week or so.. and lost about 2 inch which is good..

I am 35 years old.. and 118 kgs.. weight.. I am not sure.. if I lost any weight.. about 5 years ago.. I ws hardly about 70 kgs.. and before I could ever realize I gained as much as about 50 kgs.. I am surprised having learnt this..

Well.. my biggest challenge is Diet.. I checked alot of site.. they talk about diet and its importance.. but the challenge is that they only talk about protein.. and calories.. but none of them metnioned which vegetable has protein.. fiber.. and the amount of calories..

As on date.. I am planning to work on Calory deflit program.. taking less Calories.. and working more... and the same time.. I also intend to build my muscle..

I shall ever remain grateful to you if you can suggest few vegetables.. and fruits.. which indeed can help maintaining diet..

Hope I am not bothering you much.

4. Earlier people used to put dried "nalla senagalu" in Aavakaya. Nowadays "Kabuli senagalu" are a fancy for which they are put. You can put any of these ones but remember to put only the dried ones. Dried senagalu absorb the "Oota" along with salt and other flavors in avakaya to taste great.

Gayatri Garu,
I shifted to USA recently ans I was really worried about what I would do about my food here. I never even made coffee before. And then somebody suggested your website. Within a month, I made so many varieties of food and almost everything turned out so well. Now, if somebody asks me, "can you cook", I can proudly say, "yes!! I cook really well", thanks to you.

Dear Ms Gayatri,
You are sarcastically calling SBI 'mighty' for not bowing down to you and your husband's job. However, here you are, the mighty Gayatri with your strict rules on how people should write on your little dictatorial website, what prefixes and suffixes to use or risk being ignored by the great Gayatri. Furthermore, loyal bank workers like my 50 year old mother are suffering due to limited staff and too much work. Here you are, working on cookery websites while your poor hard working colleagues have to do your share of the work. 'Fighting against discrimination' indeed, I feel sorry for Government banks who hire slackers like yourself who think they are some modern day renegades. Please resign so that the bank can hire some responsible ethical person who can be productive and contribute to our country's growth. My mother and other Indians have suffered enough due to self-righteous hypocrites like you.

Abhirami Muthu Garu
As a visitor to my Website & Blog (which is my e-residence) you enjoy the status of “Atidhi Devo Bhava”.
Your blog dated 17 October 2011 laced with derogate phrases specially picked up for me and superlatives chosen for your "MOM" makes it an interesting reading to assess your personality.
While blogging, you shouldn’t have had reservations in addressing me as “Mrs” or "Smt", because I’m 44 years (in the age bracket of your mother) and I have no fancy to hide behind the two letter “Ms” salutation, which keeps people guessing ones marital status. I’m really proud to flaunt my marital status and also the status of being a mother for my 22 year old son, who must be almost of your age.
Your feeling proud and concerned for your mother is indeed great. The reasons for her working compulsions at an old age wouldn’t be questioned because they would be personal. However, it keeps me nagging as to why an educated and accomplished child, couldn’t impress upon her to hang her boots and lead a better quality of life instead of eking out a living in SBI (as painted by you).
Your personality in deriding & belittling others, with an intention to paint your MOM bigger in comparison reveals an interesting character in you. Blurting out with words like” hypocrites” etc. towards strangers, so as to generate a hype to convey your feelings for your mom only to portray her BIG and TALLER, makes me ponder your real intentions and ground realities. Is it real love for MOM or for her MONEY? Your twinning patriotic concerns with the subject make it amusing too.
Like a few of my other visitors, if you were serious about my SBI subject, you always had an option of writing to me at gayatri@gayatrivantillu.com to get more details. Instead you preferred to form an opinion with your limited intellectual acumen and made public your affected analytical abilities impaired with extreme love-hate syndrome. For your information my SBI case is pending before Jabalpur High Court and I don’t think you are more learned than the Jury.
Every freedom is associated with a responsibility. It reminds me of a story from my school text book which says that while on a walk one has freedom to swing his walking stick, but this freedom to swing stick stops where the other man’s nose begins. The moral of this story was to convey that we should recognize other person’s freedom too. Freedom of expression is often associated with niceties also. Illustratively, if we feel a person is ugly we keep it to ourselves. Just because we have freedom of expression we do not walk to that person and yell at him that he/she is ugly. It is bad manners, which you must have been taught as a child.
You could have surely conveyed your opinion on this blog subtly with moderation; instead you misused “Atidhi Devo Bhava” status at my e-residence and demonstrated your rusticity in exercising your right to expression with scant respect to the responsibilities and niceties associated with this freedom.
Abhirami Muthu Garu, you need to grow-up!!

Even though they do not prepare all these, they have a hope of trying easy, daily recipies on one or other day. In the process of explaining the recipe, you have used the word hot for spicy taste and it confused or irritated many people other than telugu who searched for telugu food. Best wishes.Vijaya

Hi Gayatri garu..
First of all I would like to say thanks for the website, blog, google+ account etc.. which I had checked till now. Today is the first day that I came across your account in google plus. I have checked some of the recipes. and all of the images. They are very good. Will try them some time. And after reading all the comments and appreciations, the first thing that came to my mind was of ammamma.com, its a serial in MAA TV long before and she used to maintain a website to clarify all the doubts of the needy with the medicines mostly available in the kitchen and etc.
Hope your website also will grow to that extent and serve as many as possible. And it would be very easy if we have a categorical arrangement for the recipes.

Lakshmi Garu,
The puris need to be fried a bit longer after they have puffed up. They need to get that golden brown color. If need be reduce the flame to medium while browning them.
If the water content in the dough is even slightly more, the puris become soft.
Hope next time you would succeed

Hi Ms. Gayatri,
I tried your Stuffed Capsicum for New Year's brunch. I usually find potato stuffing to be very bland. Your stuffing is absolutely flavorful, with a thin layer of mashed potato and crispy breadcrumbs. I have watched many your presentations on youtube, but this is the first recipe I've actually tried. I love this recipe and will be making it for my friends soon.
Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Thanks for your feedback. I prepared at home candied peels and candied fruits. In the process I got candied syrup. I have already hosted a video on this process.
For those who want to get the ready made ones can look for these items in the bakery stores etc where they sell candied peels and jam may be replaced for candied syrup.

Try to put just optimum buttermilk instead of curd to set milk fast. As soon as the curd sets, put it in fridge overnight before using it - for having thick curd. Try to use the curd once brought out from the fridge without putting it back after use. In other words try to store in small containers which would be consumed immediately once out of fridge. Partly used Curd sours fast when re-stored.

I saw your website a few days back and I immediately added it to my favorite sites and keep trying your wonderful recipes. I like your recipes because there are many traditional Andhra dishes which I heard of but did not know how to make.
I need some information on Convection cooking. I have a Samsung Convection microwave oven. I saw your cakes recipe using convection microwave. My query is, what all types of cooking ware/tins can be used to bake in Convection mode.

I used to have this problem until I learned this trick for making yogurt from a friend in Chicago.
I mix 700ml of low fat milk (here it is called 1.5% fat) and 300ml full fat milk (3.5%). I heat the milk in a heavy bottom vessel on a slow flame for 25 - 30 min, stirring frequently. Then I raise the heat but carefully. Now let the milk boil but keep stirring from the bottom of the vessel so that the fat does not stick to the bottom the vessel. Keep stirring from 10 - 30min.
Then set it aside to cool. When it is luke warm, add Bulgarian yogurt in small portions, may be 1/4th tea spoon at a time, 4 or 5 times. Mix thoroughly with a big spoon for 2 minutes, then churn it thoroughly with a churner. Some people use a mixer / blender. Set it aside in a warm dark corner. I put it in the oven, but do not turn the oven on. Yogurt shd be ready within 24 hrs.

Jayashree Garu,
If you adopt traditional method of straining Chenna in a cloth, squeezing it, tying it tightly and pressing it under a heavy grinding stone, you would get tight Paneer which would not crumble when added to gravy dishes. Two minutes of microwaving of paneer pieces before adding to the gravy also keeps paneer firm in the dish.

It will become more delicious and it gives a nice falvour if you eat with rice and ghee especially without gheee nooo we don't get that flavour

Dear Mrs Gayathri Sharma,
I was searching for a cake recipe this sunday and I came across your site. I just loved the way you have presented the recipes and explained them. More than that I loved the tips, weight loss guidance and the kitchen aids section and found them really helpful. I have decided to try out all your recipes one by one. So on 13-Feb I made pav bhaji. I made the bhaji and bought the pav because i did not have yeast & the weighing scale (I plan to buy these.. I have already purchased a thermometer). It turned really well and my husband loved it.
The next day I made Alu Ki Tehri. I loved the simplicity of the recipe and turned out really well.
Today I plan to make Gutti Vankaya Koora. I will post the results shortly.

Today I made aloo paratha for the first time. I have never eaten this myself so I don't know what it's supposed to be like but I have made chapati and puri though lately my puri seem too hard and not soft. It tends to break instead of being able to roll it up. I used same dough for paratha as for chapati. I did let dough rest. I did not use your tip about letting the stuffed paratha rest before rolling so it wouldn't tear (mine tore and had air bubbles though I tried to make sure they were pressed out before sealing). I have tried rolling two paratha and putting filling on one then putting other on top then rolling, they do not seal well. Filling one partly rolled out paratha was breaking. I think my dough was little dry. Can you tell me how to tell when dough has enough water? I think this may be the problem with puri as well. Next time I will also be sure to let filled paratha rest before trying to roll. I took a long break from cooking due to carrying for my elderly father til he died, he does not eat Indian foods so cooking for him required different style of cooking and I have lost the touch for many things, trying to get it back. Thank you for your help. Zen.

Oh, sorry, dough recipe I used was 2.25c chapati flour 1 c water 1/2 tsp salt. This is slightly different than chapati, more flour by 1/4 c, no oil, but almost same as puri (only .25 c more chapati flour, but also .25 c more water).
I kneaded in my bread machine as my hands and arms are too weak to knead by hand. I let it rest for about 20 to 30 mins before trying to use. In future I will measure flour by weight instead of cup measure because all my bread recipes that I have switched to weight measure have been much more reliable. But this is same recipe for 30 years, which in the past was fine, also same flour for past 30 years, Golden Temple durum atta . So whatever is wrong is with me. Thank you again, Zen.

I am from Indian origin (born in telugu brahmin family). I moved to US, 10 years ago when I was 17 old guy.

Ur recipes are wonderful.I have tried allam pachhadi,avakaya pickle and dondakaya koora. Superb ! My family loves it, Also read the weight-loss page. Great! I'm 28 ,unmarried and weighing 87kgs right now,I tried many diets and exercises many many times in my life. I could see results of only 5-6 kgs reduction and once i stop checking my diet and exercise.i am back to the same state.I'm having hypothyroid and asthma past 2 yrs and my family has history of diabetes and other diseases.Thanks to your article and sharing ur personal struggle to lose weight. I am motivated enough to continue my weight loss journey this year with more hopes and determination. But, as you suggested, i will consult a dietician to help me out.Thank you !

Namaste Gayatri ji,
First of all, I want to thank you for sharing your cooking experience with us. I am a Bengali homemaker, my name is Shyamali Sinha. Very recently I have started a you tube cooking show, which is focusing on Bengali cuisine & at the same time Indian cuisine. For my work I read different kind of Blogs & I found your website. It is really inspiring. When I was reading your “English shock” article, I could not control myself to write to you. You are voice of like many of us. I love your article. I do believe that English is a global language, for that we need to learn it, but now a day, for few people knowing this language is equivalent to Educated. If you don’t speak in English you are not much educated.
Though, for some reason I am conducting my show in English, but I have huge respect for my own language & culture. I love the way you write. Wish you all the Best.

Thanks for providing all the recipes. I made avakai using the measurements in your recipe which turned out fannnntaaassstic and this time would like to try the lemon pickle. I live outside India and the lemons that we get here are quite big compared to the lemons we get in India. I would be really obliged if you could please let me know the measurements of the lemons that you used in grams or Kgs. How many kgs should I use to cut and how many kgs should I use for juicing. I know many people must have asked you this but I could not find any reply to the same.
I would be really really really thankful to you if you do so.

Hello Gayatri Garu,
Stumbled across your site when surfing for Mango jelly recipes. Me & my wife also surfed many other recipes on your site, love the ease of making and demo videos.
I have a few suggestions to submit:-
a) Quick fix meals for working couples
b) Foods that can be prepared during outings/picnics (before hand @ home or at the picnic spot)
c) The Addition of SALT>> In your video/script you always say ""add salt to taste/ saripadinantha UPPU vesukondi"". To a veteran, this comment is fine , but to a novice/first time cook it serves little. I understand people might prefer salt due to their upbringing or medical condition, but it is more applicable in health foods segment.
seeing the videos it is not clear if you are additing teaspoon/tablespoon salt. I am very sure you understand what would happen to a curry if I add 01 TABLEspoon salt in place of 01 TEAspoon.
Since you are submitting your own videos, you have clear idea how much salt is added regular dish. Pl mention the same as teaspoon/grams(measure or weight). Just a mention can be made that
if Diabetic/BP/illness, pl add less....
Hope to see this comment in your existing and upcoming videos.

Thanks Gayatri garu for the roasted peanut recipe. I love the street side roasted peanuts but always hesitate to eat it due to hygene concerns. Btw, I asked a peanut vendor from where he gets the sand to roast the peanuts and he said that it is not sand but just kosher salt which turns to sand color after prolonged usage.

Hello Gayatri garu,
I tried your eggless orange cake recipe and it came out so well. I am receiving a lot of get together invites from my friends just because I would bring orange cake. I tried 5 times now and it always came out well. I want to learn to make icing.
Yesterday I tried Paneer Makhanwala, and it came well too.
Please post more of eggless desserts.
Thanks
Sangeetha Jaikumar
