    Hello all.... can some one tell me what exactly is maida? Stranger tells me it is not plain flour, I live in Europe and what is the equivalent that I will get in the shops here?

    Thanks

    I always thought that maida and plain flour/all purpouse flour are the same. Atleast I substitue one for the other without any change in texture or taste(well nither of them have any taste or flavour ). Only diff I noticed is that the 'maida' that I by from Indian stores is not as white as the the plain flours from the supermarket. But neither maida nor palin flour have much nutritional value in them, so I use them sparingly........

    You could try 'Karthik stores' - Buffalo street, for raw rice. They do have a good variety of Indian rice and other groceries as well! Ofcourse 'Mustafa' as u know is another place to try.
    BUT I use 'house brand' broken rice to make appam as well as neer dosa. This ie Broken rice, resembles closely to 'dosay akki' we get in B'lore. I'm quite satisfied with the result.

    hi Tomato, thanks for the reply. I have been using plain flour so far for all maida recipes as well, but since stranger pointed out that they are not the same I wanted to give that a try!

    appam and egg roast or appam and chicken/mutton/potato stew is the regular combination what we have. i have heard of appam and kadala curry, but have never tried that

    Appam with egg korma is an xcellent combi... Had it at one of our friends place... She said appam goes well with most curries that uses coconut milk as the base...
