Aarthi thanks for your post.
Please read the following:
"
Bread flour is a high-protein flour, specially formulated for making yeast breads. The combination of extra protein, a tiny bit of malted barley to help the yeast, and vitamin C or potassium bromate to help the formation of the gluten, helps the dough rise and retain gasses as it bakes, resulting in greater volume and better texture.
You can certainly substitute all-purpose flour in a recipe, but the results will be less spectacular"
Aarthii, if I am not mistaken I have posted the recipes for rava kitchadi and vengaya kulambu.
Let me go through first the index and inform you.
Aarthii, I am going to Singapore to see AMMA Amritanandamayi
I will be away for 3 days only.
Take care. Kugan98
