   i never seen such a dirty explaination
   when compared sanjay food u r way of explaination is such waste thing
   and more these two girls r trying to show their english levels
   and trying to talk like american
   when i was watching the video i felt like irritating
   the way of telling should be normal
   thet mat think it is stylish
   but it utterly nonsense
   most of them cant even understand it
   not ofcourse not of these excellent accent of these girls
   its actually they r trying to talk like that but they r not talking that accent
   so they r completely destroying it
   so i think better change the accent or
   stop cooking and take the website out
   i know y u r not displaying the comments
   bcos u may got this type of comment from everyone

   why don’t you try to speak a foreign language and see how good your accent is? seriously, commenting on someone’s accent is really low. you can’t blame someone for having learned english later in life to completely master the accent!
   the content of what they’re saying is really helpful and most people will appreciate their efforts.

   “…trying to talk like american…”

   They ARE american!!!!

   “…trying to show their English levels…”
   Re-read your own comments. YOUR English and spellings are PATHETIC to say the least. You not only showed your own ‘English standard’, and also the nature of your character by writing such an immature and abusive comment.

   “..but it utterly nonsense
   most of them cant even understand it..”
   MOST of YOUR comments are utterly incomprehensible in the first place!… reeking of ignorance, to put it mildly.

   “…i know y u r not displaying the comments..”
   Well, your piece of crap is published isnt it KAVITA?

   Hi ladies,
   you are doing an awsome job. Love the receipes they are easy to follow and are very tasty. Most of the receipes i was looking for and needed found them on your website. Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best.

   As for Kavitha, i don’t see anything productive that you are contributing. Least of all you can’t even spell so why are you bothered for other peoples accent. Don’t be a hater for other peoples hard work.

   Wow, If I ever had someone talk to me like Kavita did on my own website I would have been boiling in heat, and would have ban them from coming back to the website. This is my first time looking at this site and must say GOOD JOB guys, haven’t gotten a chance to listen to the videos yet but am sure they are helpful. But all in all just wanted to say Thank you for starting up this site, it is going to really help me out in cooking India dishes and not have to hear things from my mom . Onces again Thanks Guys

    Funny after Kavita initial outburst there is not much response from her!

    By the way Hetal and Anuja you guys have outdone yourself again! Hats off to you! I am so much more confident with my cooking and these include the simple and the more complex recipes too! My husband has become a fan of this website, although I don’t like to share my new found ‘expertise’ in cooking with anybody else, I can’t stop raving about this website!

    Hats off to you girls!

    Good Recipe; Good Effort. Good Name. Good Logo.. but not at all professional. To avoid such comments like from Kavita… if you do it little more clear explanation and make others understand what ingredients you added and why did you add how it is effecting particular dish will worth our time watching your videos. This video look like you just learned from a cookery book and explaining to all.. Thanks any way.

    Hi Mam

    Thank u for this awesome dessert!I remembered how much my father used to enjoy falooda wen we had it in mumbai(He in no more now ).Ill try it a little late since i need to get a couple of things in the ingredients list. Thanks a million for sharing such wonderful dishes with so much patience!
    Some words for Kavitha Madam;
    1. Its easy to see a video siting at home since its free and u have a good internet connection. Try to put yourself in their shoes and think. Its not a easy thing to collect the ingredients in correct proportions and speak in front of the camera! Try it and then ull know were u stand madam!
    2. These ppl are just common indians like us who understood how difficult it is to survive in america without indian food!! how many days can we eat salads,burgers etc!! They learned things and practised them. And now are gladly sharing them with us so that we are benefitted!! Appreciate their helping tendency!! Not eone in this busy world is like them.
    3. Sanjeev kapoor…huh??? don make me use words for him. These professional chefs will not have that real home made food tast in their cooking. Trust me, everyday cooking should be made up with reachable items in our kitchen shelf. And most of Anuja-Hetal dishes are like that. Only party or occasions kinda stuffs make us buy thngs newly. Trust me no professional chef will tell u health tips like using 1 % milk,2 % milk instead of Whole milk. They will use heavy cream instead of half and half!! See how nicely they tell us wat is good and wat not!! They are mom’s of kids and they know wat is good for a family!! And thats wat they are sharing with us!
    4. Kavitha Madam,u stay in US for some time.. i bet ull also get the language slang. I came here a few months ago and i have got that american slang……

    …Continued

    …already in my english. This is a commom thing in America! Hetal mam has been here since she was 5 yrs and Anuja Mam is here since her coll days (if im not wrong!). Its natural to have American slang.
    5. Pl think before u speak!! For heaven’s sake. You have hurt so many ppl here!!!
    6. I was a newly wedded wen i came here to US. And trust me for me both of them are like “GODS”. They are like my MOM because they teach me the reciepe wen ever i want by a click of a button with all that beautiful smile and care!
    /. Pl never ever behave like this anywhere! I was in tears wen i read they way u had written.
    8. Lastly, For Mr.Light! They are doing a extremely good job there! They have explained wat they know and they think is correct. Check out their other reciepes and ull know better.

    Regards,
    Priya

    Hello Hetal and Anuja..

    Thank u so much for this recipe. I’ve been looking for it all over and no one explained it so easy

    I just have one question…when i soaked the basil seeds, they didn’t plump up and turn whitish the way yours did. Do you have any tips for doing it right? Maybe the tepmerature of the water was wrong (i used hot, should i have used room temp?)

    Thanx again and i’ll be trying more of your great and easy recipes.

    Hi Yara,

    We soak the basil seeds in normal room temp water – never tried it in hot water so can’t say for sure if that is the reason. I know this may sound silly, but hopefully you have basil seeds and not onion seeds (kalonji/nigella). Someone had made that mistake so just making sure. They look very similar.

24. Yara Says:
    January 3rd, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    lol actually i’m pretty sure they are basil seeds. They are not very easy to find here in Saudi Arabia
    I found it in an Asian food market.

    I tried it again with room temperature water but only a few plumped up, i used the whole thing anyway lol. My husband gave me a thumb up…literally

    Thanx!

    I am so impressed and fascinated by the way you girls run this show. All these recipes are fail proof and taste awesome. My kids started thinking that I am a pro and I can cook anything from soup to the cake. Thanks a lot for sharing all these wonderful recipes. You really rock.

    Can you please tell me where these basil seeds available? Can we buy it in the Indian stores? Thanks once again.

    Let me come to Kavitha’s comment, you are so sweet and kind to take it easy and ignore her unworthy words. One more reason for me to become your fan. Please keep up the great job. As you are enjoying presenting it, we are also very much enjoying watching and trying it.

    Hi Krithika,

    Thanks for the awesome feedback!

    Basil seeds are available at most Indian grocery stores. They are called “Tukmaria”. They are tiny and jet black, but puff up and change to a lighter color when soaked. Let us know if you find them and make the falooda (how it comes out).

    Thanks a lot Hetal. I didn’t expect you to reply back to me because this recipe was posted in 2007 and I was pretty sure you wouldn’t be answering to people’s doubts even now for the old recipes. I am really impressed and deeply touched by your kindness. Thanks once again.

    Yes, I found Tukmaria and made the falooda, it turned out so wonderful. Now with your help I had impressed my in laws also. So far, I was just making the traditional recipes but now I am able to do any kind of food. I owe it all to you Hetal and Anuja. Please keep posting your wonderful recipes. Thanks so much.

    Hello Hetel & Anuja
    First thank you very much for all your recipes great stuff.
    What can I use insead of Falooda sev or can I make it my self? (cant get the original in Switzerland)for the rosesirup I’v made a normal sirup and added rose essenz & a few drops of red food colour
    I miss Indian food very much, so I just have to make it myself!! Life would be easier if I lived in England
    By the way i’v looked through some of the comments made some folk cant help being stupid so forgive them and do continue with your recipes. What I bet is greatly appriciated is that you write the Hindi and the English names of the ingriedients
    Thanks again for a valuble site yours Yvonne

    Hi Yvonne,

    Thank you!

    You can make falooda sev at home by mixing one part corn starch with 2 parts water and cooking it until it solidifies into a gooey ball. Then, you put it in an oiled sev press (hope you have one) and press it into a bowl of ice and water. Let is rest without disturbing in the fridge until ready to use.

    We’ve never tried this, but some of the glass noodles available in Chinese supermarkets may be a good substitute. Let us know if you try it.

    Thanks for the tip Now I have to get hold of a sev press which is going to be more than hard in Switzerland!! I guess I’ll just have to go to India and then I shall stuff my self with all the goodies I cant get here like Bhelpuri Frankies ect.
    I think I’ll try the Chinese nudeles first, if you give me an email address I’ll let you know.

    Hey, I have a question, would rose ice-cream work? If anyone has tried it with rose ice-cream, then can you please tell me how it tasted. As for Kavitha, if you yourself can’t even speak right, then why are you ranting on other people’s ability to speak. I for one, thought the workmanship was very professional, And I loved it! Keep making more

    We’ve never tried this recipe with rose ice cream, but it should work. The intensity of the rose flavor will depend on how “rosy” the ice cream is compared to the syrup.

    Hi Hetal and Anuja,

    I am curious as to why you warm up the milk? Everyone I know makes it from milk right out of the fridge. Does warming it up change the flavor?

    I too can’t help but comment on Kavitha. I can only hope for her sake that at this time in her life she is very young and grows out of her immaturity and stupidity. She has a lot of growing up to do.

    From reading a lot of the comments you receive for your recipes, I can say that you gals are making a big difference in peoples’ lives including mine. I can’t help but think that both of you should be on Food Network representing the South Asian Ethnicity. You never know what the future will bring.

    Heating the milk does change the flavor a bit. If you want to save time or don’t really mind the subtle difference in taste, you can skip the step.
