  3. Thanks didi for this recipe, pesarattu has fond childhood memories for me, my dad used to make every morning for breakfast before rushing us off to school... That horrible Delhi winter, dark, fog, garam garam pesarattu, which he used to force down our throats like gavage because it's very good for health :-)

  4. this is wonderful!
    can we please have a LOT of BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PIX?
    5? like Vineeta's Onion Pakodi plus 1 more photo of a family member eating it.

    please everyone follow Infinite's example of adding TELUGU SCRIPT/NAME to the recipe, theek?

    and yes: I agree lets finalize spellings and names so that there is symmetry and order.

    I am so hungry at work, I just have paata vankai koora with me :(

  7. Actually this credit should go to Manju athayya because she is the one who gave me the measurements of water and other things involved in preparing this.
