Why I Hand-Beat the Thosai Batter?
Hand beating introduces air into the batter, which helps activate the natural yeast present in the ingredients and this is crucial for fermentation as it promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria and yeast, leading to better rise and texture. Hand mixing is gentler than using electric whisk as it allows for precise control over how much gluten is developed. In thosai batter, the right amount of gluten contributes to a softer texture, which is key for achieving the perfect crispy yet fluffy thosai.

The Art of Bashing Turkey Berries
n Indian cuisine, turkey berries are often bashed before cooking to soften their texture and enhance flavor, as raw berries tend to be tough and bitter. The small seeds are frequently discarded due to their gritty texture and slight bitterness, and some people avoid them because of concerns regarding their digestibility or potential toxicity in larger amounts. Rinsing the berries removes dirt, and bashing them in small batches ensures even crushing. Placing the bashed berries in water prevents oxidation and allows for easier separation of the seeds, keeping the berries fresh and the preparation process efficient.

We tried the MUTTON KOLA URUNDAI, a dish made with a mix of lentils, minced mutton, and a blend of aromatic spices. Having sampled mutton balls at various places in India, this was the first time I enjoyed three pieces in one sitting!
