GunnerY2J Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Ate roti after a few months. I can't make them round, it tears if I try to thin and circle it. With mix veg or using all the leftover vegetables in the fridge - brinjal, capsicum, tomatoes, cauliflower, onion and kundru - turned out good than expected.

Yoy just have to put dal, water and put on the lid. Let it give i9-10 good whistles and then wait 10-15 min till the steam escapes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or burning if too less. And don't know which whistle belongs to which cooker and if it has fitted. Also,is it healthier to cook in open pan or it's a myth ?

The only thing cooker is doing is building up pressure quickly, thereby lowering the boiling point of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banz Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Cookers have whistle and another valve for safety. If both fail, the design is such that the gasket will pop out and release steam. So almost no chance of cooker blasting. Whistle can get blocked so clean the cooker regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I can make dal (mind that I can only make rice,dal,roti & egg burji) The amount of water you need is such that the water level is about 1 cm (or 1/4th of your finger) above the quantity of dal after you put in the pressure cooker.. Add turmeric powder and salt and close the cooker lid.. Give it about 5 to 6 good whistles preferably on low to medium flame.. Make tadka on frying pan and add the dal to it.. Enjoy afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy afterwards [emoji106] Sarcasm detected [emoji14] You need a fixed and accurate quantity for it, after reading nothing can go wrong, I tried brown rice (never had before - so don't know if it was okay) just now in a cooker, the cooker started spitting out water from the whistle. apparently, the cooker was faulty. After 6 whistles I switched off the flame. Also, Chicken Sambhar with ready to cook dosa ghol - don't have non stick tawa. Didn't use cooker for this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerY2J Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Baked uttapam or rice pizza. Used dosa ghol as pizza base. As a pizza, Inferior but i don't like bread of pizza so this worked better for me. As a uttapam, better : very thick, soft (a bit hard from the outside), fluffy inside and well cooked - wasn't possible on a tawa.

The bread is the most fundamental part of pizza. If you have an oven you could try to bake your own. The readymade pizza bases you can buy are really rubbish to what you can make by yourselves. Only problem is the amount of effort and care needed to make good pizza dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, effort and care and skill is lacking, sure would be worth the effort but maida is also not something I prefer or look forward to eat now.
