Your recipes are too good! Yesterday I combined two of your recipes and what came out was a hit. I made wheat rawa adai with chopped methi leaves and onion and the aroma and the flavour were too good. We could have it even without any accompaniment. I think I can crown you “Modern day Meenakshi Ammal”. Infact now a days if I don’t know what to make for dinner, I just log in to see what’s new at kamala’s corner and Yo! I have something interesting and also easy to try. Thanks a ton M’am.

Your recipes are excellent and at the same time simple to follow. I am living in a remote country called Solomon Islands where getting good Indian spices is a challenge. But your recipes are useful to cook something new and different using whatever is available. Thanks
Thank you Krishnan for your kind words.
