Re: [www.keralites.net] Very good morning

 

Respected Sir,
My mum who is 90 years felt happy to know your presentation.
She informed me that green ground nuts (not roasted) to be added and also little jaggery -vellum in Tamil- to add more tastier and tanjore Brahmins do this dish often with vellum.
Thanks and hope to hear more receipe of  different type of morekuzhambu from South India and North India especially from Punjab -kadhi and also from Gujarat and Rajasthan type.
NAMASKARAMS,
Srinivasan k s
