Hi Kamala, Just a quick question…cardamom or cinnamon which one should i use for this recipe? the ingredient list mentions cardamom but the method mentions cinnamon…
Thanks.
Hi Niranjana,
You have to add both cardamom and cinnamon stick. It is omiited in the ingredients list and now I have added. Thank you for bringing it to my notice.
Dear Mam,
Good morning.I tried your recipe for my breakfast.really came out so good. I read your instruction very perfectly. Thank you so much.
Thank you Subha for your kind feed back.
One more thing mam ,I did coconut chutny as a side dish.rather than that ,what can I prepare ?
Hi Subha,
You can try “Kosthu” either with brinjal or tomato. Bombay chutney (Besan Chutney) also a good combination.
Hi Kamala,
All your recepies of Semiya are good, in few varieties you had specified Rawa as ingredient. Is it Idly rawa or bombai rawa?
Himabindu
It is Bombay Rawa.
