The adventures of the Thosai Part 2

Many readers will recall reading my flipping woes. If that is one kitchen skill that I would like to master better, is FLIPPING!

So nearly 1.5 years later, I plucked up my courage and decided to try flipping thosai again. Our vegetarian guest who is Malaysian will probably appreciate a dish similar to street food in Malaysia I thought.

First take- Batter was too thick!

Second take- Batter was in good consistency but I turned it too soon and it broke.


After 20 tries later...


I have ONE decent looking one


that have a few cracks in it.. but at least it resembles a soft version of thosai (Although I was aiming for a crips one :( )

Of course..I served it with vegetable curry!



At least the curry was good! (thanks to A1 curry paste.. ;p)

  4. ugh i can never appreciate thosai, its so sourish and they always go with some kind of milky sauce like yoghurt. suprisingly tho' i like all other kinds of indian flatbreads like pappadums, naan, prata :D
