do you happen to know if this will this work with gluten free flour?
thanks!
Never tried with gluten free flour, but a good choice.
Hello,
I’m wondering if the taste would still be good if I also added a pinch of hing and some methi (fenugreek leaves)? I love Indian food but am not an expert yet at mixing different flavors.
Yes , Sure you may add.
