I love indian dishes, so I went to your website hoping I will take that recipe and cook. But I have no idea what most of the incredients are. They all written in Indian name or something.
jim mills,
u can go to an indian site n check for glossary n find the names of the things used in ur recipe wanted.
Wow….one more variation to my favorite chutney!!
hi ur dishes r very nice . i like ur methods
hi Shilpa,
perhaps you should change the line “Grind the paste” to “Grind to a paste” 🙂
Ashu, thanks for pointing out. These posts were written too long ago and I know there were many grammatical mistakes in them. Now whenever I get time, I am updating the pictures as well as the posts, but it is taking a lot of time. I am still working on my English.
Shilpa,
Your welcome 🙂 Just want to keep your site perfect 🙂
Here’s a thanks post to you:

Hi Shilpa,
I was at my wit’s end yesterday wondering what to make for dinner. I was tired of making the same old side dishes for chappathis. Though I have noted down a lot of recipes & even tried most of them, I wanted something diff & easy to cook. I came across ur site..Lo & behold!!! most of ur recipes seemed so easy & less time consuming.
I decided to try the Potato-capsicum side dish. (My hubby is not very found of capsicums, thou i like em :-). It came out wonderful & I must say here that adding the tamarind pulp defntly adds to the taste.
My hubby started eating & after his first mouth, raised his eyebrows & said “how come this dish tastes diff”..(these husbands can b a pain at times, they feel outright good comments wud be an ego booster to their wives)…so I had to finally pull it out of his mouth that the dish was VERY NICE…:-). Wow!!!
Then I decided I would try another dish for breakfast this morning, the TOMATO CHUTNEY as a side dish for. That too came out gr8 & my hubby did agree to that too.
I would like to thank u Shilpa, for posting such wonderful & easy recipes. Cooking is easy provided one should have the interest to do it whole heartedly. Experimentation & Innovation makes it all the more enjoyable.
Thanks & Keep up the good work. Waiting to try out more of ur recipes.

Hi Shilpa,
just a suggestion for your website…
if you could have a glossary of indian ingredients, guess it will be very helpful for people of other races if they’re want everything at one place. in that aspect, your website will be a ONE-Stop area for indian recipes and more….
a sample website which i meddled accross may deem express what i suggest…
(http://www.informationcorner.com/recipeglossary.asp)
Shilpa: I have been working on this Veera. But it takes a lot of time since taking the picture and writing the description is not very easy task. But surely, I will release it soon.
Hi Shilpa,
Good recipes and a very nice site. Tasty..but, I reduce the chillies when I make a dish. Thank you.
I tried your recipe & as always turned out just excellent. Moreover it was hit with my Hubby too. Thanks!!!tastes good with Idli & dosa.

I tried out the recipe yesterday along with your masala dosa recipe . The chutney was just yummy .My husband loved it . Thanks a ton 🙂
You are doing a tremendous job by providing delicious recipes to the community. I might have tried many things from this mouth watering website. I always thought of leaving some comments but never did it. In fact this is the first site I visit whenever I want to cook some of our konkani food.
Last week we went for a picnic and we prepared Tomato Chutney, It came out so good that it became an instant hit. I was tired of telling recipe to everyone 🙂
Thanks again..
PS: You must start thinking of publishing ‘aayisrecipes’ book, in case you haven’t started it yet!
hi Shilpa,
not sure if you do recall.. i had written in earlier for recipes on basic making of tea or coffee or a lime juice or buttermilk for that matter.. these beverages which are needed everyday and yet are so different with each home we visit.. could u please work this into your site.. I’m sure many more than just me would benefit.. its been very long since i had asked and you had replied saying you would look into it.. but i don’t see a follow up as such. Please weave it into your busy schedule..
thanks for keeping the flavours alive in our kitchen 🙂

dear shilpa,I have tried your tomato chutney receipe,it goes well with bread also.
hi shilpa,regarding vermicelliupma ,we can also fry vermicelli in seasoning instead of frying itseperately.
Hey Shilpa – I looooved this chutney’s taste and the simplicity of making it! I am not into making chutneys too much but was looking for a simple non-coconut chutney one day and found this! Absolutely loved the taste – ekdam restaurant quality! Thanks a lot!
Hi shilpa,
Can i keep tomato chutney frozen for later use.
Hi shilpa,

I have kept it in refrigerator for max 2-3 days in an air tight container. Don’t know about more than that
