I love all your videos aunty.. you are such an inspiration to all of us..Thank you so much for the wonderful videos 🙏🙏❤️

[@yogeshshidhaye7332]

I like how she uses little oil for tempering, no need for excessive oil/ghee

[@RetaxChennai]

Hello Ma'am! I'm your big fan. Just one suggestion, it is very important to soak any millet for 6-8 hours before cooking it.
