Thanks in advance!

Anou, what's maasi???!!!... ethuku use pannuvanga athai???....

dev: maasi is dry tuna, adhai kal uppu, kaanja miLagai, thEngai, chinna venagayam pOttu idichi adhai side dish maathiri saapiduvaanga...

In India we get it in Tirunelveli side and Lakshadweep... I think it comes from Srilanka. :)

Anu try this way. Break it into small pieces. Then dry roast it.
After that pound it nicely.
Add onions cut into small pieces.
Green chillie cut into small pieces.
Mix everything, add a dash of lime juice.
Now you can use it as a side dish.

Oh...I C... thanks,Anou...

Kavitha: thanks for the recipe.... I like it the way my Mom makes it with coconut, red chilli, kal uppu and chinna vengaayam, goes well with kanji, rice, idli, dosa, idiappam, etc... :) the only thing is I don't know where to get it from in UK. I know it is not available in London, I heard it is available in UK but don't know where...

Anoushka, Have tried in one of the Srilankan shops. They are crazy about Maasi.

thanks sivank :) will try asking my friends...

Hi,

Wondering how useful a chapathi maker is!!!... How easy is it to make chapathis using it?... any suggestions/feedbacks?... How much does it cost(220v) & any ideas where I can find it in singapore?...

Hi Dev
It is very useful. I just make the dough and leave it to rest. Roll into small balls and put each ball in the heated chapathi maker then press. Leave it until the chapathi puffs up then remove it from the plate. Takes about two to three minutes. I bought it in Mustafas Singapore, couldn't remember the price. It is very useful to make snacks like thadai as well.
