Best South Indian Tamil preparations. I remember the lovely days in Salem -TN.

[@HariGopal-nu1xx]

Rakesh - Lovely recipe. I was delightfully surprised when you said you learnt this recipe in Melseval. That is my native place. Growing up in a Brahmin family we did not make sodhi. But I tasted it for the first time in Toronto which has a large Sri Lankan community. This is healthier and I’m going to try it soon. 🙏
