    How are you on chapatis?

    Not sure I know what that is, unless it is another word for pakoras.

    CHAPATI is a round flat unleavened bread of India that is usually made of whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle. AKA roti, rooti, rotee, rotli, rotta, safati, shabaati, phulka, chapo, sada roti, poli, and roshi.

    I have tried many times, and like, naan, but I am not sure that I have ever
    had chapati then.

    I enjoy pakoras, too. Funny thing... I do not like cauliflower in most "American" dishes but they apparently cook or spice it up different enough in indian dishes that I usually like it.

    I like cauliflower any way it has ever been served to me. From plain ol' boiled/steramed to tempura and beyod.

    No thanks, unless it is maybe raw and in small pieces in a salad.
    Otherwise, it is on the "I do not eat" list. It is not as bad as brocolli,
    but it is on the list. ;)

    That's OK. I'll eat what you don't. And you can have all of my boiled
    turnips. Raw, peeled and salted .... OK. Cooked? Gag a maggot!! Even ...

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Sauteed Yellow Turnips (Swede or Rutabaga)
    Categories: Five, Vegetables
    Yield: 7 Servings

    3 lg Yellow turnips; peel, grate
    5 tb Butter
    Salt & pepper
    1 tb Brown sugar

    This is our absolute favorite way of eating Rutabaga.
    Had it done this way in a Mennonite Restaurant in St.
    Jacobs, Ontario and I was hooked. Try it, you won't be
    disappointed! (Use your food processor for the grating
    to save time!)

    Melt butter in a large skillet and sauté the turnips
    until soft and deep yellow in colour.

    Season with salt, pepper and brown sugar.

    Serve hot.

    Serves six to eight.
