Do anybody know that indian cookings for either a breakfast or a dinner will take atleast 1 hr... if anybody is interested to know about indian cooking pls. start discussions, we can start from breakfast, there is lot to talk about.... it goes alongwith medicinal values, some of the ingredients we use.

Yes, I would love to know more about Indian cooking. We LOVE Indian food and the one time I tried to make my boyfriend's favorite dish, Gobi Masala, it turned out horribly. I would also like to know how to make some of the basic breads.
I can easily get the ingredients at a local specialty store but feel free to share recipes.
Thank you.

Okay, any recipe would be a great help, especially Gobi Masala. I am not much of a tea drinker.

How many different spices do you put in an ordinary dish, say at dinner time? While in India I bought a small box with some kind of spice that looks like little threads and it's maroon in color (about 50 Rs), the little clear plastic box measures about (5 x 5 x 1)cm. The problem is I don't know how to use it. Any ideas?

it seems what you say is saffron comes in small plastic box. You can use it when you make briyani as a spice or you can just sprinkle it in milk to drink.
If you accept the name of the spice is correct, then one can drink it with milk (adding just a pinch) will get good complexion and if they are pregnant, they will get good handsome fair baby....
how you understand now, if not give me more description...
