  10. Hi I am ur fan. iI tried carrot rasam.it was awesome

  11. I just tried using Niraparra CHEMBA idiyappam podi and (even red aval from various brands) however
    it smells and tastes like matured beet root taste and smell, that earthy soil smell and taste….
    Is CHEMBA suppose to be this way? I didn’t dry roast it should it be dry roasted? The bag doesn’t say roasted but the bag’s instructions don’t tell to roast it either. Or maybe the flour is old and when it gets old becomes this way or maybe there is a preservative in it?
