  • looks nice and yummy… actually looks like you avoided patta, thakkolam, grambu, perumjeerakam etc (which were in annie’s kitchen).
    Did you try adding them or did you just thought of avoiding these ?

    anyways, i’m planning to make this as you did. thanks a lot for this recipe maya…:)

      • Made this dish today Maya, just as you did. (I didn’t do the Annie’s kitchen version since I knew it would be good the way you made it. See, i trust your recipes 😀) and it came out very well. Both my husband and daughter loved it. Thanks for this great recipe.

  • Can you please update the recipe regarding the garam masala.How much of perinjeerakam,thakkolam etc.?
