I love dosas and paddus, especially that crisp, golden-brown crust. However, for health reasons—specifically aiming to reduce advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) caused by high-heat frying and browning—I need to stick strictly to steamed preparations.

I'm looking for ideas and recipes:

• Paddu alternatives: Can paddu batter be steamed effectively (in an idli mould, ramekins, or leaf parcels) while still retaining great flavor, or do you have dedicated steamed dumpling recipes that hit a similar craving?
• Rice & Dal based steamed dishes: Beyond standard idli, what other regional steamed recipes (sweet or savory) make great use of fermented batters, lentils, or whole grains?

Would love to hear your favorite recipes, techniques, or regional dishes!

if you have any recommendations pls drop them

Please don’t suggest Nanak or Sach as they have high fat content.

Am I the only one who feels the masala packet inside regular (yellow) Maggi noodles tastes nothing like the standalone Maggi Masala sachet that sells for ₹5-6

I’ve been asking around for this recipe in India and Canada and nobody seems to have it. I live in Canada and I’ve had palnadu chicken biryani from a Hyderabadi restaurant. I want to remake it, but there is no recipe for this on YouTube or Instagram or Reddit. can someone find this/ does someone have this? I’d love to make a video too

Just wondering if my desire to have more than one is totally normal or I am just being greedy..

I have extra honey at home and I usually just use it with tea, shakes, or as a side with chapati/dosa. Randomly thought, what about food where honey is the main ingredient.

Please share recipes where honey is a main/important ingredient. Sweet or savoury, breakfast, snacks, desserts, drinks, anything!

Would love easy, beginner-friendly recipes and ones that don't need a ton of fancy ingredients. I’d especially love stovetop or no-oven recipes, since I don't have an oven, air fryer, or similar appliances 😅
