inspired by a meal I had at Acorn in Bath, UK ( knows of what I speak!) where they served Pea and Parsnip sorbet, I tried making some veggie sorbet. I blended 5-6 red peppers and then mixed them in the Melanger until very very smooth and then froze in the ice cream maker

my brain gives out after 50 or so hours of thinking about code — so that leaves 72 more hours of waking time to fiddle with stuff like this! Cooking tools are nice cause they do cool stuff w/o much work. Got a sous vide recently as well and it's super easy.

planning on it! When I was researching the machine, I learned that they're actually made in India. There's a US company that imports them and upgrades them a bit for chocolate making (the machine needs to run for *days* instead of 30-40 mins)

oh interesting — I was showing this to my mother-in-law as she often makes dosas and was saying they're always grainy no matter how long she blends it — does fermentation help break it down too?

The trick is to soak the parboiled rice and urad dal separately and grind separately before mixing for fermentation. A weak/cheap blender won’t work. You need a fairly powerful one like the blendtec or a grinder. And yes, fermentation is necessary and finishes it somehow.
