This recipe i got it from one of my colleague Geetha. It's a Tamil Recipe. As always Tamil recipes are always tasty and yummy. This is my first attempt of publishing a spicy recipe in this blog. This was so yummy and I couldn't resist posting it though it doesn't suit my blog title Bake mode. Anyway it gave me an idea to post different recipes here in the same blog. Now I should think of modifying the blog title. This is really a tasty side dish for rice. Everyone should try it.
