Although I did not know that it was cooked with coal. We have the recipe for Undhio from Tarla Dalal's book, but without the right vegetables it is a bit difficult to get the exact taste. Hello Aai,

This slow cooking along with a peculiar smell of coal gives it a unique taste. Did you have chance to taste Undhio in India? It is really delicious.

Cooking is just one of them, how many people wear saris (in India) nowadays? If we are not careful, the sari will go the way of the Japanese kimono... I try to do my bit; I NEVER drink Indian tea made with tea bags (YUCK!), grind my own masalas, try to make as much from scratch as I can. But somehow, these customs should be preserved, otherwise all the food and dress in the world will become the same...how boring! Hi Lakshmi,

I haven't seen them or anyone else cook that way since then. Another loss due to modern quick cook and eat philosophy. Hi Neena,

Apparently if they are being heated for the first time, you are not supposed to stand too close to them they might split! Glad to see your comments back on the blog! Missed them. Hi Madhuri,

The stones are any normal stones, or some particular kind that retain heat for long? Enjoyed the video. The stones are any normal stones, or some particular kind that retain heat for long?
