GOOD
fantastic… i also tried it using a combinationof dals which was also good
Excellent. Try eating it with smoky sesame oil instead of ghee for a healthier tastier meal
Hi Krishna,
True. It is good to use sesame oil in cooking and also for these type of Podi/Thuvaiyal/Idli Milagai Podi etc.
Super
