#5 just to clarify, is not whole grain, it's flattened rice.

I've had the Cadbury's in India that has a high melting point, and it is very strange...doesn't melt in your mouth. Not very satisfying.

My parents' next door neighbor uses the frozen dinner roll dough - thawed and rolled out - to fry as bhatura. They don't get humongous like the ones at restaurants, but they still taste the same!

I only eat bitter melon one way - the way my mom cooks it in this South Indian style called hagalakayi gojju - specific to the state of Karnataka. It's a sweet and savory chutney-like side dish with a very mild bitter taste from the melon. It has to be cooked just right so that the bitterness doesn't overpower the other flavors.

This isn't my mom's recipe (she probably doesn't have one written down anyway), but it sounds like it may provide similarly good results: http://engaathusamayal.blogspot.com/2009/03/pavakkai-gotsu-hagalkai-gojju.html

Kay-sa-ree bhaath - make sure you say the 'bh' in bhaath.

This is my favorite, especially with some lemon pickle (nimbe-kayi uppinakaayi, in Kannada).

Thanks for showcasing so many recipes from Karnataka. That's totally the forgotten state, but it's so awesome!
