निशा: सपना, बेसन के गट्टे की सब्जी "विशेष"कालम में नीचे की तरफ है.

nisha ji kya pittha ko bina tale nahi kha sakte hain.ise talna jaroori hai?
निशा: अम्रिता, पिठ्ठा को तला नहीं हैं, थोड़ा तेल मसाले डाल कर फ्राई कर लिया है जिससे वह और अधिक स्वादिष्ट हो जाता है.

nishaji, mene apka ghewar video dekha, pls. give me ingridients of ghewar... Thanks

Nisha ji,maine yeh try ki ,taste bahut accha laga,par mere half fara toot gaye boil karte samay..kya galti hue ,please reply
निशा: संगीता, फरा उबलते पानी में डालने होते हैं, उबाल आने तक तो आग तेज ही रखिये, बाद में मीडियम आग कर सकते हैं. 2- 4 फरा तो चमचे से चलाते समय भी टूट सकते हैं.

good recipe

its very testy nisha u r so sweet

nice recipe....

thanks for such simple n good narration .i shall definitely try this at home.

निशा जी! हम महाराष्ट्रीयन लोगों में इसी प्रकार से होली के अवसर पर, चने कि दाल का पुरण भरकर या मावा भरकर 'दिंड' बनाये जाते हैं. इनपर पिघला हुआ घी डालकर खाया जाता है.
निशा: अंतरा, धन्यवाद, कभी हम भी दिंड बनाकर खायेंगे.

i want to know dat chawal ka ataa and ararot are the some things?
निशा: सोनल चावल का आटा और अरारोट अलग अलग है. चावल का आटा चावल को पीस कर तैयार किया जाता है

i want to know dat chawal ka ataa and ararot are the same things?
निशा: सोनल अरारोट एरोरूट की जड से बनता है यह कार्न फ्लोर जैसा होता है. चावल का आटा चावल को पीस कर बनाया जाता है. चावल का आटा बाजार में मिल जाता है.यदि चावल का आटा बाजार में न मिले तो चावल को रात भर भिगो कर पानी हटा कर कपडे पर फैलाकर एक घंटे छाया में सुखा लेंगे. फिर आप इसे घर पर मिक्सी में पीस सकतीं हैं.

nisha ji fara pitha ki recipe bahut tasty hai . chhattisgarh me fara kewal chawal aate se banate hai waise hi aapki recipe bhi tasty lagi,thanks

hlo madam. kya hum chane ki daal ki jagah urad ki dhuli daal le sakte h pithi bharne ke liye ? and daal ko dardara hi grind krna hai na ? ya baarik
निशा: अनुराधा जी, आप अपने पसन्द की दाल अवश्य ले सकती है,दाल को दरदरा ही पीसना है.

hi nisha ji.agar chana daal na ho to mota besan hai uski pithi bana skte h agar haan to thoda tarika bata dijiyega pls
निशा: अनुराधा जी, पिठ्ठी को मूंग दाल, उरद दाल, हरे मटर के दाने, किसी से भी बना सकते हैं. आप बेसन से पिठ्ठी बना रहे हैं, इसमें मन पसन्द सब्जियां भी मिला लीजिये, मसाले दालिये और थोड़ा सा दही या पानी डालिये कि पिठ्ठी ढोह के फोर्म में आ जाय, और ये पिठ्ठी भर फरा बनाइये और अपने अनुभव यहा शेयर अवश्य कीजिये.

thankyou soo much mam. jaldi hi banaungi ab.

hlo mam,aaj maine urad ki daal se fara banaya tha. baki sab to thik tha par daal bht kadwi taste kar rhi thi so it was not edible. pta nahi kaise daal me kadwapan aa gaya. maine to ache se dho kar hi grind ki thi
निशा: अनुराधा जी, उरद की दाल तो अच्छी स्वादिष्ट लगती है, अगली बार आप इसे भूनते हुये मसालें मिलायें, फरा बिलकुल भी कढ़वे नहीं होने चाहिये.

maine bhun kar hi masale milaye the. kyoki vaise kachi si lag rhi thi taste me. pta nhi kya baat thi k kadwi ho gyi daal. maine usi daal ko grind kar ke bedmi puri bhi banai h apki recipes me se wo to achi bani thi.thanks
निशा: अनुराधा जी, समझ नहीं आया क्या बात थी, लेकिन आपने बेड़मी पूरी अच्छी बना ली ये अच्छी बात है, बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद.

hlo mam,maine dobara se fara banaya tha par is baar chane ki daal se hi banaya aapki batai gyi vidhi se hi. and it was delicious.thanks.
निशा: अनुराधा जी, बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद.

Kya hum fara ko pani k jagah dal me dal kr boil kr sakte hain

Once tasted this recipe through one friend n liked too much so wanted the procedure .so now got it surely will try to make it .Thank you so much...
निशा: चैताली जी, बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद.

निशा: कल्पना जी हां इन्हैं पानी में उबालना होता है.

bajre k atte ka kya karu. koi meethi recipe btaye
निशा: सोनिया जी, मीठे में बाजरे की टिक्की बना सकते हैं, हलवा बना सकते हैं, और ये रेसिपी मेरे वेबसाइट और चैनल पर उपलब्ध है.

निशा: रिचा जी, बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद.

इस फरे की पिट्ठी को अगर सेक के भरा जाए तो और स्वादिष्ट लगता है।मै ऐसे ही बनाती हु। उत्तर प्रदेश में पारंपरिक रूप से इसे कढ़ी के साथ खाया जाता है।
