    I am a big fan of your cooking. Have tried many recipes and they came out great 🙂
    Do you have any recipe for making Tortilla at home? I live in India and can’t seem to find in any grocery store.

    1. Hi Shabi,

  4. Hi Anuja and Hetal,

    I am Elodia Dfrom Spain.I would like to tell you again how happy I am to have found your page, you cook such nice dishes that they make feel hungry all the time , I am trying many of them.For me it is a bit difficult to find some spices and ingredients, Could you please tell me if there is any online shop where I can get them.I have found already one which is Spices of India, UK- It looks great although I have not bought anything yet Thanks a lot

    1. Hi Elodia,

      We’re so glad to hear that you are enjoying SMTC! We have lots of Indian stores here where we live so unfortunately, we have not bought any spices online. We would suggest you use a company that is in your country or neighboring countries…that way, the shipping costs would be less. Good luck.

  5. Hello hetal and Anuja. your burrito makes me want to snatch it from the computer screen 🙂
    Can we have burritos cold , like after 3-4 hours of preparation? Or do they need to be had immediately

  6. Hello Hital and Anuja

    I tried this recipe and it was yummy. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job. Wish you both a happy and wonderful thanksgiving. Your website has turned out to be very resourceful for a busy mum and working person like me. All the best.

  7. Hi,

  8. Hi Hetal and Anuja

    I do not think we have Tortilla here in Hyderabad. Is there anything we can substitute it with? Thanks for your efforts.

    1. Hi Sheila,

      Here is a basic recipe for Flour Tortillas:
      Two cups of all-purpose flour (maida)
      1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
      1 teaspoon of salt
      2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
      3/4 cups of warm milk

      Mix all ingredients (except milk) and add milk slowly to form a sticky dough. Knead the dough in some additional dry flour. Let the dough rest for 20 mins (covered). Divide the dough into small balls and roll out similar to chapati. Cook on a tawa without oil. Vegetable Shortning can be used to make the tortilla a little more rich and soft.

  9. Hi Hetal and Anuja,
    I love Burritos, I want to make them for my parents at home, but since I am from India, its very Hard to find Tortillas, can you tel me a substitute or maybe how I can make them at home, they look a lot like roti (with a single layer) but they taste different.
    Again Thank you guys so much for bring us all the wonderful recipes.

  10. I made these breakfast burritos last night as a quick & easy meal. Not only were they quick & easy to make, they were yummy. I like your variations to traditional foods. =) I had it with salsa as you recommended & it was good. Next time, I’ll try it with your pickled jalepenos recipe (totally excited!). Thank you so much! =) Keep these yummy dishes coming!

  13. Hi Suheida,
    Thanks for your feedback and kind words! And also a BIG thank you for letting us know about the issue. It has now been fixed and you should be able to order without any problems. Have a great day!

  14. Hello Hetal and Anuja,

    I think you two are just absolutely wonderful…I wish you great succes!!! I always log into your website atleast once or twice a week to try out your recipes, and they are just as great as they look.

    I am also very happy that you have your aprons for sale, but when I wanted to buy it online, there was a problem with paypal, and it asked that I contact the seller. Could you please look into it and let me know when everything is up so I can proceed in buying a couple of them.

    Thanks,
    Suheida

  15. Hi Hetal,

    Thanks for your note. I have been viewing recipes on your site for close to a year, I guess. Only since the last 4-5 days, I don’t see any video picture and there are errors on the page (there is no video activation sign either). I use Internet Explorer and I do not think there is a problem at my end. But I will still check. Thanks

  16. I am not able to view any of your videos. You may want to check if there is some error. Thanks and I look forward to viewing your awesome recipes soon.

  17. I thought burritos always have rice in it… that was the reason i didnt like it, but this seems really nice!kinda like paratha.
    Thnx.
