ரொம்ப சூப்பராக இருக்கு சவிதா...எங்க அம்மாவும் கூட இப்படி தான் செய்வாங்க...

ஆனா, நான் எங்க மாமியார் வீட்டில் செய்வது மாதிரி தான் செய்கிறேன்...மிளகு, வேர்கடலை சேர்க்க மாட்டாங்க...பின்னே இவங்களும் சாப்பிடனும் இல்ல...

கண்டிப்பாக அடுத்த முறை செய்துவிட வேண்டியது தான்...

The click is amazing...simple milagai podi is also looking exotic. I add little jaggery in my milgai podi just to make it little sweet.
