There is no other way to keep them just as fresh. Ive seen that heating it up only makes it more soggy or crispy. <BR/>And when i have more than 4-5 guests, I stick to rice recipes!<BR/>It was nice reading ur blog. There are some lovely recipes and photos :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1169799831975326032007-01-26T03:23:00.000-05:002007-01-26T03:23:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1162495233980343812006-11-02T14:20:00.000-05:002006-11-02T14:20:00.000-05:00hey g!!! lovely blog!! well my ma makes half paran...hey g!!! lovely blog!! well my ma makes half paranthas/rotis and cooks them fully just when the dinner/lunch is being served...will write more later yawn! gn!Reeta Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955768296326121072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1162387320346803162006-11-01T08:22:00.000-05:002006-11-01T08:22:00.000-05:00Vyanjanaa, came here through Kalyn's blog. Like yo...Vyanjanaa, came here through Kalyn's blog. Like your blog and the format of sharing mom's recipes.<BR/><BR/>This is a situation where I absolutely don't know what is best. If I like to serve guests warm dosais or chappathis, this is usually the case when the guests are not that many, I wait till I finish cooking and then join in. If it is a large crowd or an occasion like daughters' birthday when I want to join I have them prepared ahead of time (usually avoid dosais) chappathis can be warmed easily enough. <BR/><BR/>Like Asha mentioned 'Indian style mom thing' is what we grew up with and difficult to give up. Maybe compromise according to the situation.indosungodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556193051268397994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1162223758811594222006-10-30T10:55:00.000-05:002006-10-30T10:55:00.000-05:00thanks both of you for your comments. i do think t...thanks both of you for your comments. i do think that timeliness and table etiquette are important. otherwise as a host you are left feeling what i am feeling---not sure if u enjoyed the event that u worked hard for. Foodie's Hope, I think u are right-I might just need to outgrow the "indian style mom thing". I may have got it from my upbringing (Mom is a little finnicky abt these things but can afford to be when u have help, I guess!) but so did your friends who came late! they may have seen their parents/friends get away with coming so late and not even apologising. maybe my friends also are doing what they saw growing up.ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327103936471818200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1162222524073927362006-10-30T10:35:00.000-05:002006-10-30T10:35:00.000-05:00I always make everything and arrange on the table,...I always make everything and arrange on the table, join the guests and we pass each dish around and enjoy the meal. So what it's not fresh and puffed. I hate 'Indian style mom thing' to serve fresh when everyone else is eating,having fun.That's really why we invite people in the first place,to enjoy their company.I think it's not right when guests start eating without the hostess.<BR/><BR/>May be I am little westernized but I remember when we invited some Indian couple for dinner, they came an hour later ( Indian style?) and said they had to do shopping and absoutely no apology!!<BR/>We almost went out that day to leave them to fend for themselves!It's just rude!If we donot know the etiquette, we can always learn by reading and/or watching others.<BR/><BR/>It's my opinion and I am sticking to it!:D:D Happy Halloween, G!!FHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120251231228218853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838023.post-1162179153493093392006-10-29T22:32:00.000-05:002006-10-29T22:32:00.000-05:00nameste'g'ji. can only remember of mom making roti...nameste'g'ji. <BR/>can only remember of mom making roti at the last moment and keep serving then and there...<BR/>in my village we had big kitchen,and being a rice eating culture,food were served together.<BR/>'teen kos me paani badle chaar kos me vaani'[pani and culture i guess so]<BR/>cheers.<BR/>jhaji.sanjay jhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983779446003759735noreply@blogger.com
