Hi Lakshmi,
the above reply is for another query. For this vadai, I have added 1 teaspoon sombu.
hi mam all are yummy how to make khara koyakattai
Hi Kamala,
Sombu is not Aniseed. I think its Dill seeds. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Aniseeds or Fennel seeds are called in Tamil as “Sombu” or “Perunseeragam”. Dill seeds are called “Sadakuppi”.
