   Hey Girls,

   How are you?
   Cannot wait to try this as my mouth is still full of water while I am typing the message.

   But one thing that is troubling me since yesterday is that whenever I visit your website it is overcome by the sound of an interactive advertisement from itunes which is labelled “we the kings”. Your voice is overpowered by this ad and frustrates me a lot. It seems stubborn and does not get closed many a times.

   Please if you can do something regarding this, then look into the matter.

   Thanks.

   Hi Rohini,

   Thanks for some good feedback. Many times, we are not aware of the ads that show up on our site because they keep rotating and we do not get a chance to see all of them. Did you say that there is no “X” button to turn it off? We will see what we can do about it. Thanks again.

   Hi Hetal,

   Thank God you read my comment and responded to my problem. Yes I mean there is no “X” button to close it. It is happening today as well. I am visiting other sites too to confirm if it is a problem on my netbook but the advertisement shows up only on SMTC. PLease fix it as soon as possible Coz I am addicted to your website and have to view it compulsively every day.

   Take care not to allow such ads to be shown on your site Pleeeeease for Your viewer’s sake.

   Thanks a lot!

   Hi Rohini,

   One more question… do you by chance remember which ad it was (company or product)? That would help us address the issue sooner.

   Thanks for your help in this matter.

   Hi Hetal,

   The problem of this add has become untreatable. It just has a pause button and gets on automatically after every few minutes. Even just now it is going on and I had to mute the volume of my laptop to help me concentrate in typing this to you as the music is too loud, harsh and frustrating.

   I have given you the name of the add earlier too. It says – “download i-tunes” and the name of the tune – “we the kings”. It also says buy or embed on the screen.

   As soon as I download your website it gets activated and starts playing. I cannot see it on any other website. It is specific to SMTC only. If it goes on like this I would have to quit coming to your site reluctantly Can not help it…

   Please do something to fix it.

   Thanks Rohini,

   Since we are not based in the UK, we were unable to see the ad you mentioned. However, we have tried to change some things on our end hoping it will fix the problem. Please let us know if you still see the ad. Thanks again for your help.

   Hi Hetal,

   I am sorry to say that the stubborn ad is still there. It is creating a lot of disturbance and does not let me hear your voice. Just gets on automatically. I love to come to your site and learn new things and refer the old recipes, but now its becoming very difficult. I have tried to log on to your website from a different laptop as well, thinking there might be a problem in mine but the ad is visible on any other computer as well Though you have checked it on your side, still if you could again try it and fix it for me. It would be great.

   Thanks and hoping to get rid of thid ad soon.

   Yummmmyyyy! After the bajjis are done, i usually make a slit and i stuff it with a mixture of finely chopped onions mixed with chaat masala and lime. The potato stuffing seems to be another great variation. cant wait to try it!

   This is fantastic!!!! Can bell peppers can be used?

   Hi Alexa,

   Yes, you can make thick slices of the bell pepper and kind of “mold” the potato mixture on the insides. If you completely cover the entire thing with the batter, it should work just fine.

   Hi Hetal & Anuja,

   I have a general question about oil used for deep frying? I find I don’t do a lot of frying because (a) I don’t know how much oil to use (b) What should I do with the oil that’s left in the kadai? Any tips?

   Thanks,
   Hina.

   Hi Hina,

   I have similar issues with frying so I also don’t fry often. The only tip I can offer is to clump a few frying things at once. Usually, they say that you should not re-use fried oil again once it has cooled down. Something gets altered in the chemical composition of the oil, making is unhealthy for the arteries. For example, I always make and fry paneer first when I have some other frying to do. Frying paneer doesn’t ruin the oil and you can freeze the fried paneer for later use. While the oil is still hot, I continue to fry whatever else I have planned. Finally, I fry papad or other things that really ruin the oil last. This way, I get the most of my oil.

   Regarding how much oil to use, it really depends on what you are frying. For the most part, your item does not have to be totally submerged in the oil. You can always flip it mid way. It’s a great way to use less oil.

   Another idea…for stuffing crushed any kind of gathiya! Paneer with chatmasala(same masala as stuffed paneer paratha)

    I have to come up to Hetal’s defence and say that it is a beautiful accent and it is her very own accent! Like we always say…variety is the spice of life! How boring would it be if all of us ate the same, dressed the same, looked the same and talked the same!

    I agree with you Anuja. There is nothing unusual about Hetal’s accent. She is very clear and fast. Moreover, her explanatory power is superb and her diction is perfect fit to convey the message in its full essence.

    It is actually the smallest detail which any one would not even think mentioning that helps starters like us as her explanation is not theoretical but applied on practical grounds.

    I am basically from India (born and brought up) I haved lived in India throughout except for last couple of years since when I am in UK. I am not familiar to American English, still I follow her word to word very clearly…:)

    Hetal you are doing an excellent job and please keep going without any hesitation. Words, language and accent are just a medium to convey your message to others. Your messages are reaching us very clearly without any T&D losses

    You are not a language or accent teacher that you have to focus on that. You are teaching us how to cook good food and make ourselves and our families happy and healthy.
    So go on with your UNIQUE & BINDAAS STYLE.

    Thanks Anuja and Rohini for the support…means a lot to me.

    Alice…I’m sorry you are offended by my accent but like I say over and over, our accents are a result of our surroundings, not our ethnicity. It’s not something we can change unless we actively try to do so. I, for one, am sticking to mine.

    ALICE,

    MAY BE YOU SHOULD WORK ON YOUR OWN THINKING LEVEL..INSTEAD OF TELLING OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO SPEAK.. MAY BE YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON YOUR OWN AND FIND OUT HOW TO BE NICE WITH OTHERS..AND APPRECIATE THEIR WORK..BE POSITIVE..

    Alice,

    Please do not get caught up in judging anyone on any level. We must try to focus inwards to improve ourselves not others. Plus, Hetal has a beautiful accent.

    Alice, kindly, think twice before making such comments.
