hi kamala mam,
all your recipes are my favourite. as i’m a working women your recipe helps a lot.
in above recipe, you said we have to squeeze the water content from pudalankai pieces. that means we have to boil pudalankai or it separates water as we mix salt with it. ?
pls do reply
thank u
Thank you for writing. No need to boil. The salt will separate the water. Just sprinkle salt, mix it and keep the plate or the vessel in a sliding position. Water will automatically separated. And again if you squeeze it, the remaining water content will also come out. Then toss it with other ingredients.
