This is my most favourite dish. It is not very common to see this recipe online.

This is my fav food too. We might not have option to cook it without pressure pan - if you have, try that out. It will be even better.
Best with your fav pickle (lemon, citron, mangai, nellikai whatever), appalam and ghee. Of course one course with curd (for now at least yoghurt)
