I once tasted some fried big green chilies stuffed with mashed potatoes in an Indian restaurant. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of this dish and I really would like to attempt to make them at home; would it be possible if you could put up this recipe on your site.
Thanks
Love
Sam

Hi Latifa,
Chaat masala is one of those spice mixes that is really convenient to buy pre-made. It really has a lot of spices that you may not use in your normal day to day cooking so if you buy all of the spices separately, you will have a really BIG batch of chaat masala.

Thank you so much for this website! One question though- I always have trouble with the salt amount. Too little or too much tastes bad, and I’m never sure when it tastes right, so I keep adding until it’s too much. I am always very disappointed to see “Salt to taste”. I’d love to have your exact recipe to follow, then I can always adjust for my taste later anyway, but at least when I start I have some idea! Thank you so much – fantastic job both of you- I have tried many of your recipes and it is wonderful food. Please- how much salt do you put in this recipe?

Hi Jaya,
Thank you so much for the compliments
Regarding Salt – it really is a personal preference. When possible, we do try and mention the amount but you are better off adding less and then adding more if necessary….
We will seriously consider your suggestion.

Hi chechi,
We tried making cucumber raita, which turned out to be fabulous. Loved it. We got into cooking 2 weeks back, and by far tried 4 of your dishes. All of them were just fantastic. Never did we make food with this taste from any other references. Thanks a lot.
