Dear arrecipes!
For wheat dosa, make a batter like dosa batter with enough salt. For 2 cups of wheat flour, you can add 2 tsps of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of asafetida powder and some curry leaves. You can prepare wheat dosas as usual dosai after an hour.
Here is the recipe for Idli Podi.
IDLI PODI:

Black gram-1 cup
Red chillies- 1 cup
Bengal gram- 1/4 cup
White sesame seeds- 1 tbsp
Asafotida- a marble size piece
Par boiled rice- 1 tbsp
Curry leaves- a handful
Salt to taste
Procedure:
In a tsp of gingelly oil, fry the asafotida and the red chillies for a few minutes. Add all the ingredients and fry them to a golden brown colour. When cooled, grind them to a fine powder with enough salt.
Dear Honey dew!
When you make sweets, the type of sugar syrup is important. For halwas, the syrup should be in single thread consistency. For burfis and other sweets, it must be at the second stage and even at the third stage. When the syrup is boiling, you should take half spoon of it and if you pour it on a cup from a height, it should seem like a glossy thread [‘kambi’]. I have already posted the ‘Badam halwa’ recipe a few weeks back. You can try it. If you want more flavour and colour, you can mix a pinch of saffron in ¼ cup of warm milk and you can add this when the mixture for badam halva id boiling. When the mixture turns glossy and shiny and leaves from the sides without sticking at the bottom, when the ghee comes on the surface, then you can decide that it is the ‘halwa’ patham.
thank you for the answer, Mrs.Mano.

Hi Mrs.Mano,
Can yu please post a nice recipe for making Egg Aapams ? The batter is the usual one, without any eggs. The egg is added to the aapam in the pan and cooked alongwith it. Hope it's clear what recipe I'm asking for ?
I just broke an egg into the center of the aapam, but it didn't cook fully. What is the correct procedure , should the egg be scrambled then added to aapam ? Please respond .
Thanks.
