    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...

    Superb and vibrant color savitha... lovely clicks too... adding sesame seeds would give a wonderful aroma!! My MIL makes the same way except she substitutes kollu(horse gram) for peanuts...

    Hi Savitha, I'm really drooling over this.. Usually I get idli podi from my mom. Now I think, I can prepare my own too... Thanks for the recipe...

    The way you have arranged the ingredients in those cups remind me of my mom's Anjaraipetti. :-)
