Hi All, WHEAT CHIPS!! I always want to bake healthy dishes with oven but we people are addicted to All purpose flour and our taste buds unaccept anything else so I rarely try anything without maida..My husband was persisting me to bake something spicy instead of cake and cookies,so I tried this wheat chips. Inspired by Ms.Deeksha Pathak's WHEAT CRACKERS post in Ovenderful Mom Bakers Community I made this wheat chips..But I altered the recipe according to south Indian taste like our Pakoda.

Hi All, KARA DOSA!! The recipe for karadosa is similar to Adai recipe , the ingredients are same for both adai and karadosa but the fermentation makes the difference in taste and texture.The taste of karadosa is completely different from Adai. We love Karadosa more than adai due to its crispiness and also there will be no raw smell in karadosa due to fermentation. As the post will go longer I have splitted adai and karadosa as two recipes and posted separately. The recipe is as below, INGREDIENTS : Idli rice – 2 cups. Toor dal / Thuvaram parupu – 1/2 cup. Urad dal / ulautham parupu – 1/8 cup. Split moong dal / pasiparupu – 1/8 cup. Salt -as required. Oil – for drizzling. TO GRIND TO PASTE : Dry red chillies – 6 nos. Cumin / zeera – 1 tsp.
