Your post about the breakfast dosas dish intriqued me and I dug out a few=

of
my Indian cookbooks. I may have found what dish you are talking about in=
=3D

one of the books. It's called Sambhar and is also mentioned in my old Ti=
=3D
me
Life Foods of the World book as a breakfast dish in South India. The fir=
=3D
st
book has a recipe and a photo. It's served in a shallow bowl and the dos=

as
are rolled with the vegetables on the side. There appears to be a broth =

in
the bottom of the bowl, but the angle of the photo doesn't show that all
that well. The book is "A Little Taste of India". That might be a jumpi=

off place for more research. If you'd like the recipe, let me know and I=

'll
type it up for you. In reading it though, it doesn't appear to include t=

he
broth. I'll look through other books, too, to see if I can find more
references to it.

I love a good recipe search...

When I was in India, one of the New Delhi hotels where I stayed served a b=
reakfast dosa. It was an incredibly thin, crisp, mouth watering piece of he=
aven! It was topped with mixed, cooked, veggies and topped with a thin, bro=
th like, fiery sauce. I had it every day I was there. I've found recipes fo=
r the dosas; but not the sauce. Making a true rice dosa is a lot of work an=
d I've yet to tackle it; but I would if I could find that sauce recipe!
Do any of you Indian food lovers have any idea of the name of this sauce. N=
one of my Indian cook books have anything that resembles it.

Warm regards and Happy New Year everyone!
June

We had black-eyed peas New Years Day. But that was
just for luck. We could have had Chana Dal--which is
much better for those flirting with type 2 diabetes.
Here's a simple recipe. Larrupin stuff (old Hindi
phrase):

What table utensils are required for these exotic foods. Are they
earthenware or stoneware. Do you decorate them with traditional patterns.
Where would we find illustrations ?
Making then would be a good project for the New Year.
