Pls do let me know how it goes
Thanks for the kind words…
Hi Hema,
Came across your site today. There are some lovely and easy recipes that I will be trying out soon. However, I’m from Sri Lanka and most of ingrediens you’ve mentioned in your recipes are in Hindi (I guess). Appreciate if you could also give the English translations. It will be of great help for Foreigners like me visiting your site.
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. Wish you the best.
Thanks for kind words and the feedback. Will make the changes to the existing recipes in coming days to include English translations or words which are better known. Planning to add a glossary page as well to help search for information in one place. Just drop a comment in case you still have issues after the changes. Happy to help you.
Based on the feedback provided by you, I have added a Cooking Glossary page here – http://www.vegetarianrecipes.net/recipes-cooking-glossary. Check it out and let me know if you see something missing. Thanks!
Thanks Hema that would be of great help.
Hi Hema,
Just came across your site today while browsing for Indian sweets .Looks quite tempting and am definitely going to try them out soon.Just wondering if bengali rasgullas and sandesh are there as that’s one thing I can never get right.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I will post the Rasagullas and Sandesh in next few days. Meanwhile, try out other sweets and let me know how it works out. Thanks for coming! – Hema
Thanks Hema. The Cooking Glossary is a great help.
Great job, Hema. Fantastic, mouth watering pictures. Continue posting.
Thanks Shyla!
Hema,
The recipes are a boon to me, my wife is making many things to taste. I request you to make/write recipe for “Uddina vada”, Nippatto, Kodubale, and “Neeru Dosa”- for sure. Amma makes Neeru-Dosa very tasty… Looking forward for them…
–Thanks
–Mahesh
Sure sir. Will post those recipes soon. Neeru Dose is already posted here. Let me know how it goes or write to me if you need help. Thanks!
hi Hema,
Nice website and very nice recipes. One question, how did you name the website ‘sumanasa.com’? I am curious since it is my name:-)
Is there anybody in your family with that name?
Regards,
Sumanasa
Sumanasa,
Thanks for coming and happy to know that you liked the recipes posted. I am sure you like the site name too
Sumanasa was the name proposed by my father-in-law when my in-laws were looking for a domain name. We all liked it and named the website that way. Hope this helps:) So far, no one with that name in our family… Happy to have someone with name Sumanasa on our visitor list 
- Hema
You have posted Really great posts!

Happy Deepavali to you all too. Thanks! – Hema

Hi Hema,
I am prameela from USA Dallas.Basically we r from bangalore. Cooking is very new for me,I have seen ur site. Really its very good.plz post lots of curries recipes acc to bangalore taste..
Regards
prameela
Hi Prameela, Nice to hear from you. Glad you like my blog. I am basically from Coastal Karnataka, grew up elsewhere and hence may be familiar with some of the curries prepared here in Bangalore. Will try my best to post some of those recipes in coming days. Enjoy your weekend – Hema
Thanks Hema I am really happy sitting in Sydney and enjoying your reciepes after been cooking with instant powder for nearly 30 years.This is what happens when you are divorced .Thanks for the Bangalore dishes as I was born in Bangalore Malleswaram and came to sydney 35 years back.
You are welcome. Glad to be of help. Seems to me that it has been a long journey from Malleswaram to Sydney to now.
I will tell to raani to refer this web so she can prepare all the foods for me
Hi Hema,
I went thru your recipes… very nice website containing only vegetarian dishes. I liked Akki Rotti and Missi Rotti. Helpful for beginners like me.
Thanks..
Sandhya
Thanks Sandhya for coming. I find that Akki Rotti or a Missi Rotti can be a sure hit. On a similar note, most people love Parathas and they should be easy to prepare for beginner like you. I have quite a few Paratha recipes posted on my site. Try them out when you get a chance and let me know if you liked them or need help.
Hello,
I will soon be making your Mixed Vegetable Sabji for my kundalini yoga teacher training group of 50 people. Would you please let me know how many servings are prepared with your recipe, and if there is anything I should know about making in a large quantity?
Thank you,
Jennifer
Jennifer,
The ingredients I used for Mixed Vegetable Subzi serves only 2 members. I never had a situation where I came even close to preparing for such a large gathering like yours but will give my best shot in giving you some direction here which may help. For preparing Mixed Vegetable Subzi in large quantity, increase the quantity of vegetables like Potatoes, Onions, Beans and try to use Cauliflower as well. Cauliflower will provide better taste to the Subzi.
And, be careful when deciding on the amount of Masala Powders. The quantity of Masala powder required will NOT be proportionate to increase in serving. As serving size increases, we will require lesser proportion spice powders. If you are preparing for 50 members, it is probably safe to add 10-12 tsp of Chilli Powder (add less if people are not used to spicy food) and 7-8 tsp of Garam Masala Powder, Cumin Powder – 5 tsp and Coriander Powder – 5 tsp. Prepare Tomato Puree by grinding 12-13 tomatoes, so that you can obtain sufficient amount of gravy. Then try to taste the Subzi during preparation and then decide if you feel to add more spices add it depending on your preference and the guests. Hope this helps. Good Luck with Mixed Vegetable Subzi and let me know how it comes out! Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hema

Thanks,
Dhivya G Kishore !!!

Hema
HELLO MADAM, ACTUALLY TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WEBSITE OF YOURS. I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH THE SHIVARATRI RECIPES AND THAT’S HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. I LIKED MOST OF THE RECIPES AND ALSO THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE PRESENTED. EVEN THE MOST COMPLICATED RECIPES SEEM TO BE EASY TO PREPARE. I AM ACTUALLY A MALAYALI BUT BORN AND BROUGHT UP IN BANGALORE. I LOVE MOST OF THE DISHES THAT KANNADIGAS PREPARE AND ONE THING ABOUT THE COOKING HERE IS THERE IS LESS USAGE OF OIL AND VERY SIMPLE COOKING. IN KERALA COOKING WE HAVE TO USE COCONUT OIL, COCONUT MILK AND GRATED COCONUT FOR MOST OF THE DISHES. WHAT TO DO, WE BELONG TO THE COASTAL AREA. BUT KERALA HAS A TROPICAL CLIMATE, SO THE COCONUT OIL OR MILK DOES NOT CAUSE ANY HARM . HERE IN BANGALORE WE SHOULD MINIMISE THE USAGE OF COCONUT OIL B’COS HERE THE CLIMATE IS COLD. IT WILL GET LODGED IN THE ARTERIES.
ANYWAY ONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR BEST EFFORT AND ALSO HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY. I KNOW IT GOT OVER ON MARCH 8TH BUT STILL I AM SO HAPPY THAT SO MANY WOMEN ARE BLOGGING ON THE COMPUTER AND DOING SOME GREAT WORK EVEN IF IT IS IN SOME SMALL WAY. THANKS A LOT AND KEEP IT UP—-WITH LOVE,
PRIYA.
Priya – Thanks for all the nice words and observations. My belated wishes for a Happy Women’s Day goes for you as well. I agree with you when you say that it’s really great to see so many women sharing and blogging on the net. And equally good, there are so many visitors out there for these blogs which help support them. I feel lucky to be part of the blogging community. Keep visiting us. – Hema
Hi Hema,
My husband came upon your website today while looking for bendekai palya. This is his favorite vegetable. I got a break from cooking today since he said he would be cooking for the family tonight. He wanted to make something different than what I usually make. I am grateful to you for your website. Can’t wait to see how the bendekai palya turns out. I am from Bangalore also, been married for twenty two years and settled here in US. The aroma from the kitchen is calling me already. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks, Jaishri
I am from Kottur its near to Davanagere…..now i am in UK….

Hi Hema
Nice website .. I have tried the chocolate banana stick from your recipes and my hubby loved the idea of eating a banana with chocolate. Currently I live in US but will be moving to bangalore, India for good by the end of 2010.. I came to US soon after marriage but my in-laws live in Bangalore , so will move there..
I enjoy cooking and I have learned all the cooking after marriage by trying recipes from websites like yours.. I know we get all the baking and other ingredients easily here in US . But I dont know if they are available in India too.. I am from bombay but being married in Bangalore , I dont know much about the city and where can specific ingredients be found.. I think you will be of great help to me in this aspect as well..
Is there a way I can follow your website just like we follow a blog or may be a way that I get an email for every new recipe you post?
Dear Hema,
Hope You are doing good. Your Blog is great. I searched for fresh juice recipe. your blog on fresh juice helped really.
I like to learn fresh juice making professionally. do you have any idea where i can learn this.
Thanks

Amazing website. What’s special about this is the simplicity of it all. Keep up the great work Hema and keep posting your recipes. Unfortunately for me, you’re not a non-vegetarian, but nevertheless I’d skip a chicken tandoori for any one of these gladly.

The uniqueness of this site is , it tells that you are from a 100% vegetarian family and also targeted to vegetarians . Recipies posted by you are simple and straight which anyone can use.
Thanks for putting up such a wonderful site.
Keep up the good work.
Gururaj Kulkarni
thanx for all the recipes
Hello Ms. Hema!
It was nice to know your blog and also about you and your cute little baby girl!!!!
I cam across your site a couple of days back and in this short span of three days of knowing your site, I tried three different recipes and all three of them were marvellous. I tried the dates milk shake, kulcha, and halbai. They were simply awesome. My husband and my two little brats (8yr old and 2 and 1/2 years old sons) freaked out on them
Just wanted to share this with you. Will keep trying more recipes.
I have this passion for cooking and I keep trying newer recipes.
Nice to have known you Ms. Hema.
Renuka
Renuka – Thanks for all the nice words and happy to know the details of dishes you prepared. I am glad these recipes are helping you have a good time with your family.

Great to hear this. Have a good time trying out the recipes
Thanks
Hi Hema

its awesome keep it up..
Cheers
Today I was surfing found your site thank you. I wanted know how to prepare Oats Idly -Savi
hiiiiiii hema….
Truly fan of your recipes.
Few days back only I came to know about this website.
Previously I was not in need of special recipes. I got married few months back.
and my husband likes to have varieties of foods.
I started searching in the net.
I truly liked your recipes. One thing that made me to like them is simple procedures and easily understandable. The special thing is that it contains only vegetarian recipes. (We are pure vegetarians).
The way you take care while explaining each and every step.. I really liked it.
That shows your concern about the reader. I have tried many of these recipes and got good responses from my husband.
Thanks for making my happiness.
Indu – Nice words… glad to hear that these recipes help.
Hi Hema Raghavendra
I tried a few recipes of yours they are delicious and mouth watering.
I am from Malaysia and have picked up a lot of recipes to try my hands on them
Keep posting and god bless
Loga
Hi Hema,
I am Samidha. Your recipes I tried are too good.
Beautifully designed site with superb recipes.I have tried a few recipes and the taste was really good. Can I contribute any recipe?
Yogesh – Thanks for the appreciation. I will be happy to publish your recipe with attribution. Pls ensure it’s vegetarian (obvious) and I would need a nice photo along with the instructions. – Hema
Hi Hema,
Your blog is very useful for me, because I am new to kitchen:), after seeing your recipes I hope I can also cook well.
Thank you
Hi Hema avare..
I am also from bangalore..liked ur blog and presentations a lot..ur family should be very lucky to have you.
i love cooking and experimenting but i am hard pressed on time..ur recipes were simple and neat..i liked it..
HI Hema, I am very happy to see your blog. I tried many items – very very good. Thank you very much
i love your blog.. thank you so much..
Hello Hema,
I really liked your website. Both in terms of content and presentation, your site stands out for quality.
There is no shortage of Indian cooking sites on the Internet. However, most of them leave more to be desired. Some contain hundreds, even thousands of recipes.
In contrast your site contains less number of recipes. However it is clear that you have yourself tried and written each one of them.
Like all good things, the site can be further improved. Firstly each and every recipe should be thoroughly researched and perfected both in terms of ingredients and process. It then needs to be presented in such a manner that even an amateur can easily follow it and get excellent results.
You have included both common and exotic recipes in your site. Common
recipes include: Idly, Dal fry, Veg pulao, Khara Pongal, Bisi bele bhath, Gobi manchurian etc.
Exotic dishes include: Turkish roti, Beetroot puri, Filled canapes, oats upma.
There is nothing wrong having all kinds of recipes. However the priority should
be to include all the common recipes first and then give the less well known
recipes and not vice versa.
For example, most people look for Masala dosa or Rava masala dosa when
looking for dosa recipes. I found the Idly sambar recipe good, but it goes with
chutney. The chutney recipe given is Ridge gourd chutney, which is not very
popular.
Common recipes like: Uddina vada, Ordinary sambar or huli, Vangi bath, Ordinary uppittu, Samosa, ordinary tomato soup etc are needed.
The quantities mentioned should be exact and non-confusing. I was trying
Alu Palak. It says 2 bunches of palak. Now 2 bunches is very vague. Different
places sell different sized bunches. Instead you can say, 2 heaped cups of
palak cut into small pieces. Similar examples are: 1 heaped teaspoon of chilli powder. 1 flat table spoon of jeera powder.
I was looking at: Huli Avalakki. It says: Jaggery and Tamarind paste. How much ?
Great site. Keep going.
Ram – Big thanks to you for writing to me in such detail. In the 3 years of my blogging, this comment is perhaps the one which takes a serious look at the overall content of the website. I will do my best to address these issues in coming days. I prepare the many of the most common recipes you mention but somehow could not get myself to post them or even take a photograph of those. Your comment helps me to focus on posting some of these. Again, appreciate you taking the time to write to me – Hema
Hi Hema –
I am so glad you tried the Pongali recipe. To your question – Moong Dal did not cook to perfection with the given proportions. Therefore, I did add water as necessary, with about 1/4 cup increments. I will say I prbly added about an extra cup of water to make rice and Dal cook to a softer consistency.
While I added it in the procedure, I did not stress on the extra water content, which I should have, is because lately both my toor dal and Moong dal are not getting cooked well. I thought it is perhaps the type of dal I bought and I did not want to generalize the entire ratios just because of my ” bad dal” .
Let me know if any more questions:-). Apologize for the delayed response and Thanks once again. Appreciate it!!
Shri – Thank you for the detailed reply. I plan to try out again based on your suggestions. It tasted so good and I hope to make Pongali perfect this time
hi hema,

Thank you Hema Madam for accepting my subscription for your site. Let us keep in touch and thank you once again for creating and giving answers for the queries raised. By accident I landed on your site when I was searching for kaju masala ; last week in one of the hotels i was forced to taste one of the worst dish which they called in that name ; I decided to search for it and I am happy i got it in your site. I assure you i will keep visiting your site regularly.
