Expert Profile: Sojourner

Expertise: Indian main dishes, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, especially S. Indian, and breads (puri, chappati, nan). I had roti on here before but I can only make plain roti on the stove top - not tandoori roti or any of the fancy roti. I'm not so knowledgeable about snacks, pickles, desserts/sweets, or chutney.

I can find recipes for just about anything, though. Since I know the ingredients and the different measuring styles, I can "translate" recipes into a format more easily understood by an American audience.

I can also help you find sources for ingredients, explain what the staples used in Indian cuisine are, and explain what the different spices used in North and South Indian cuisine are and where to find them affordably.

Experience in the area
Was married to a man from Vijayawada and have been cooking Indian food for 30 years

Education/Credentials
BS, currently working on doctorate

2008-09-29 Getting rid of bitterness: I'm not sure how I can help you, but I'll give it a shot. I have to say I've never seen a recipe for any sort of curry that uses the ingredients you mention. One thing to consider is that UNsweetened...

2008-09-16 Stove Inquiry: I'm honestly not sure what an "induction stove" is, but if it is the same price as a microwave, it can't be what I think of as a "hot plate". A hot plate is one or two burners in a standalone unit that...

2008-03-18 rasgulla recipe: The problem may be in the way that you handle the paneer. I've seen a lot of recipes that use flour in the paneer to make the ras gullah, but I've never made them that way. I just use the plain paneer...

2007-10-16 Gujerati Bread/Tomato snack: OK, this is going to be a bit complicated, so let me say from the outset that if you can find an Indian Grocery in your area, you can buy these pre-made. They are called Pani Puri or Gol Gappa or puchka...
