neyyappam and vellaappam are different from unniyappam ... unniyappam is a seperate dish altogether .. and the batter needs fermentation --- it cant be made in one and a half hours ...

may be eggless batter is possible for achappam , but it mar the taste of it ...

to add on prathibhas unniyappam were looking horrible ... not even the right color


We generally use clay chatti only for preparing fish curry ...

Not for payasam and sweet stuff ...
rava idly and rasam are mainly tamil/kannada dishes -- not really keralite ones s

was thinking d same...first thing no malayalis make payasam or sweet dishes n chattis...and dey all wer making traditional dishes like noolappam, payasam, unniyappam within n 1 hour🤢

i m sure dey shud have provided extra utensils and classes regarding kerala dishes,...still ...being a malayalai even i dont know to make jackfruit payasam( payasam has too much varieties and each one s diff n prep and timing)...and contestants making and unknown dish dat too dis fast,,,really fishy😲

Oh is it...? V r tamil iyers originating from kerala and generally uniappam v quote for either sweet or salted appam but small in size...again for both neiappam and mor appam...good amount of fermentation is needed...hence the misinterpretation in terms I had may b 😊...yeah have heard...chatti is used only for fish curry ...

Lol...right...rasam...rava idli...r not kerala dishes...they should have showed puttu kadala which is typical Kerala dish.

They mixed jackfruit and tapioca and made cutlet .. I can pakka say it will taste pathetic ...

Jackfruit needs much more cooking time than tapioca... how can the contestants know that all perfectly ..

Hola..

Yes, I also do feel that the show is scripted (and has been for ages).. And not only for the time factor or the different types of food the contestants seem to know as if it is their birthright (here my feeling is that they are taught very many different dishes and technique and the episodes are like our school exams to see how well they imbibed their lessons) but also for the praises that come from the judges - I really feel most dishes won't be worth even sniffing..

yeah agree dear...😃...

Cooking time matters...also what type of jackfruit...jackfruit is in ripe form then used for payasam...tender raw and delicate one is used for traditional molagushiyam...raw one has 2 types...iddichakkai and kada chakkai...the way of cutting them, cooking them and their flavour all is different.😊...no idea how they made cutlet by mashing them...if it is iddichakkai...then too hands gets so messy as they tend to stick badly...all that they managed within 75 mins?
