vathakuzhambu with manathakali is always a hit.. right? i love it and ur pic is too tempting! nice recipes malar.
Thank you Mahima.
Rasam looks tempting. This is new to me. But love to try it soon (when I make some chicken/ fish fry).
You do take time and care to do each dish. usually I dont grind anything for rasam, just add the powder and make it. I should try your version of thengai rasam, it sure looks very tasty…
Viki dear…do let me know whether you liked it! Some people don’t like coconut in rasam!
Thank you gita. Even I don’t pay attention to rasam. Blend altogether once…thats all! Easy dear!
