  2. Hi Kumar,

    Thank you for visiting my site. It is really nice that you have tried this recipe and added red capsicum to it. It is a wonderful idea and I will also try with capsicum.

  3. Kamala, I have been making your recipes for my husband and he has been crazy about them – thank you so much. The great thing is it does not take too much time – we love them all including the drumstick sambra – it is almost like tasting udupi sambar. Kausalya.
