Please do mention the water ratio for new rice and old rice as this is some thing that I go wrong very often. Good presentation

[superallen]

It is possible to substitute the ghee with oil or would that spoil the whole recipe?

[CecilDSouza]

What is yel curry Kootoo and Gotsu?. I think the video was real good and clear and well articulated. But what about the pretty sari?. I wonder if that is a safety hazard while cooking. I say this because I lost a cousin to that very thing that caught fire and there was no chance of survival.

hi, i am frm WB.I like ur recipe..n i will try in my kitchen 

[ramaraksha]

This might be a silly question - single guy trying to learn to cook - but other videos say that the rice and dal need to be soaked in water for a few hours if u intend to not use a pressure cooker - but i don't see you doing that. Was that step skipped or not needed to do that?
