      Hi Rekha,

      Thank you for your suggestion for video. However, cooking, taking video and publishing will consume more time and need other’s help to take video when you cook. For the time being I am just cooking and posting the recipes with photos only. Will try to add video in future if time permits. Thank you once again for the interest shown in my recipes.

    Hi Kamala
    Came across this recipe and wanted to confirm that you have used paasi paruppu (yellow split gram dal, i.e. yellow moong dal or whole green gram dal). Your recipe calls for green gram dal and in the picture it looks like split yellow moong dal.
    Thank you.
