    Chitraji, thank you for a speedy reply. I was thinking of making some zucchini koftas, so I'll use the mix. Also I saw your pictures in the meet up forum, and it's good to 'know' you now. :)

    In future I'll post my queries in the thread you mentioned.

    Raj

    Looks yummy and sounds easy to make! Quick question though, is maida and all purpose flour we get in US the same?

    Dear Mrs C

    The party pinwheels look very tempting. It has found a top spot on my list of recipes to try.
    I am sure you must have given the coversion chart for gms. to cup measurement. I prefer measuring by the cup and spoon measures.

    Dear Usha,
    Yes, please refer to tips for conversion ( I think, I have given!) or refer in the net.
    BUT
    Let me make it very clear that if you plan regular baking, weighing scales is a must!! Cups & spoons are, all said & done, only approximate. For baking, perfect proportion by weight is the key to suceess - foolproof!
    Love,
    Chithra.
