Q2 Which among Andhra, Karnataka, TamilNadu, and Kerala has the best dosa? A2 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Mon TheTastiest Dosas I have Tasted in my life are :- Ghee Roast Dosa -Jyoti Vihar Restaurant, Kolkata Benne Masala RoastDosa - CTR Restaurant, Bangalore Rava Roast -Adigas, Bangalore Butter Masala Dosa- Krishna Restaurant, Chennai Ghee Dosa - UnknownEatery, Srirangam, Trichy Butter Masala Dosa-Forgotten the name of the Eatery, SBI Colony, Chennai (Near Abhiramapuram) Bangalore. TheKey is not the State but the Restaurant ADosa has to be perfect Crisp throughout without any part being soggy but at thetime not too oily When you begineating by tearing off piece by piece - the pieces should not crack to pieces,it should be smooth and firm as you tear the Dosa. Each Piece should be used to scoop Coconut, Pudhina orOnion Chutney and not Sambar. Uthappam can beused with Sambar because an Uthappam can absorb the Sambar but a Crisp RoastDosa should not be able to absorb Sambar in general and is thus normally eatenwithout Sambar. As you tear and eateach piece -your fingers should not absorb oil from the Dosa. Melted Butter isfine but not oil When you taste thedosa - there should be a single blend taste and the piece should crumble inyour mouth and not crack like Potato chips (Then the Dosa becomes Too crisp) Today the Dosa is an Indian Dish and so you can no longersay which State has the Best Dosa. Every State hasexcellent eateries serving Dosa. Even Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai have eateries thatserve very tasty Dosa. Its just aboutwhich is the Best Restaurant in that City. And Rule no 1 -ALWAYS DINE IN TO EAT DOSA - NEVER ORDER FROM SWIGGY/ZOMATO OR TAKE AWAY Q3 Do cheap car batteries give a carperformance asgood as expensive ones? A3 Gene Smith Associates in Business & Small Businesses, Greenville TechnicalCollege (Graduated 1984)Nov 19 Ithas been my experience that they do. I have soldhigh-end batteries, refurbished batteries, factory second batteries, and usedbatteries. Back in the day, the more expensive batteries actuallyhad more lead and did perform better longer but currently I can tell nodifference. I believe that themain thing you pay for is the warranty. The only problem isthat the warranty on new batteries is “pro-rated” which means that the longeryou get to use it, the less the warranty will pay for a new battery. So if you buy a 60month battery for $100 from Walmart and it goes out in 40 months, the warrantywill only pay about $65. Look, almost allcar batteries will last 40 month and most will last 60 months. I can afford a 60month battery but I run the factory second batteries that can be bought for$60. I get great servicefrom them and when I do need another one, it doesn't hurt the bank accountnearly as badly. Plus I don't haveto worry about keeping receipts.

A9 4 Answers Josh Velson , Chemical Engineer Answered Jan 21, 2015 Because an air conditioner doesn't output air at thetemperature it's set to. That would be veryinefficient. It outputs air at a temperature well below that which it is set toand depends on advection - heat transfer through mixing - to get to the desiredtemperature. So if youstand near the vent of an air conditioner, chances are you're not only feelingcooler than you would at the same temperature the air conditioner is set to,the temperature is actually lower than the set point. Thetemperature variation exists because the rooms we air condition often have poorair circulation. If you stand directly in front of the vent, then of course youfeel colder than the temperature setting, because it is colder. Humidity effects also matter, because cooler air hasa lower carrying capacity for water vapor. However, most air conditioning unitsdon't include integral dehydration, so this effect is only really discerniblein tropical regions where it is both hot and relative humidity is well above50%. In addition, if standing directly in front of the vent, you willexperience wind chill. 2nd answer- Larry Guthrie , works atRetirementAnswered Jul 4, 2018 Josh’s answer ispretty good until the last paragraph. All compressor type air conditioners,which is a very high majority, remove water from the air. This is one of the reasonsfor not getting a too large AC unit. You want the AC to run for long periods oftime, not cool quickly and shut off, because then they don’t reduce thehumidity, or as Josh says dehydrate. All AC units have water dripping from them. That is the machineremoving water from the air. 3rd answer- LS Ganapati , CharteredEngineer&Independent Consultant (1969-present) Answered May 14 Humidity effects also matter, because cooler air hasa lower carrying capacity for water vapor.

A10 Priya B Chander An Indian housewife Mon Asa nine year old, It was my first trip to Guruvayoor (Kerala) for ritualisticpurposes. We headed to the nearest restaurant once we were through with theceremonies and what we see on our plate is this. Kerala boiled rice (Matta rice). Notsure if it was served as it was the usual rice served to everyone or it wasbecause we didn't request for the regular variety. Thesambar despite being okaaish, couldn't manage to push the rice down my throatand there was no curd. Only buttermilk. So, I ended up eating nothing. Thisincident taught me to check for the type of rice during my subsequent trips toKerala. Nooffence to the staple food of Kerala as it's more a matter of convenience andbeing used to certain things since childhood. I prefer my comfort zone of being able to eat the regularvariety (as in Tamilnadu/Karnataka/Andhra/Telengana) to the boiled oneof Kerala. Banana stem. Handsdown on the loads of nourishments and its ease in digestion in lieu of itsfibrous nature. Yet,I can never being myself to have any dish prepared out of it without a constantreminder of its benefits. Unlikecucumbers and carrots, which I find easy to consume raw, banana stem is taxing to eat despite beingfully cooked. Andit's quite a task to cut it too. There are layers which need peeling beforegetting to the edible part. Vella seedai. Evensnack is a food item, albeit not on a regular basis. This is a traditionalsweet snack which is prepared in Tamilnadu during the Krishna Janmashtamifestival. Assomeone who prefers sweets to possess a soft and a melting quality, I find it totally against myteeth and taste buds. Iprefer the other salt variant though, which is the Uppu sedai.
