Quite a hit with bread and no roasting involved.

But if you give your word that it's not as weird as it sounds, I'll give it a try one day!Kaminihttp://kaminidandapani.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-23477930457330367892010-02-11T19:21:57.109+05:302010-02-11T19:21:57.109+05:30Welcome back N, trust little one doing well! :)
L...Welcome back N, trust little one doing well! :)<br /><br />LOL @ your hate list. I don't think I had any I can remember. Guess I was too busy playing outside and too tired to notice what I was eating!<br /><br />I replied your q there at FH. In short, you don't have to soak Chana dalia, but heat it 1 minute at a time so you burn them, that's all. They get soft first and then crisp as they cool.FHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120251231228218853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-87752130698770369052010-02-11T11:17:43.408+05:302010-02-11T11:17:43.408+05:30I hated eggplant when I was growing up too.

I used to hate ginger in dishes, my mom used to put small bits of it in khichdi and guess who got the biggest piece. That's why I grate my ginger, so my son doesn't get a big piece.

Cooking for yourself does lead to more experimentation and even foods you'd normally have stayed away from become a source for trying out innovative and more likable ways to make them.
