At home Shobhadi grinds it on the sheel-nora, or we make batches in the mixie. Usually, I use cumin:coriander in a 2:1 ratio for anything I cook. And I use fresh coriander leaves (or cilanro, as they say here) as garnish wonly.Rimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344200811838569151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593970282269006762.post-15053167494768789922010-03-29T08:47:52.908+05:302010-03-29T08:47:52.908+05:30oh i make these in exactly the same way, even the ...oh i make these in exactly the same way, even the milk! i didn't know anyone else who uses milk! i always get the smallest potatoes i can find and don't peel them. but what's ground coriander and does it come in those little dried spice bottles? as coriander substitute i often use this nice hot dhaniya chutney that's stocked at the indian store, or the goya cilantro base or when i have them, the leaves themselves. i also tend to automatically use garlic every time i use onions, so that's another ingredient that's sometimes there. oh and i never have fresh chillies, so i make do with capsicum and bell peppers. this is the best comfort food ever, and for a long time, the ONLY veggie dish i liked and would turn out well no matter what.Joychaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752478898265978956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593970282269006762.post-32125076711724730182010-03-14T04:43:10.619+05:302010-03-14T04:43:10.619+05:30It's very East European of me, I'm told :P...It's very East European of me, I'm told :P<br /><br />We should meet up.
