Have been looking for this recipe. We always had this masala made at our home. Totally love and miss it. So glad to have found it. Now I can give it a try!
The trial is to be carried ou let you know the result in due course.Meanwhile, thanks a lot
A staple at home, we actually add a 1/2 tsp of this to a small katori of dahi and have as accompaniment with adai, dosa, chilla and rava kozhakattai.... the only problem has been finding rai ni kuria, but now I buy in bulk and freeze it! The best ever comfort food! One difference: I don;t bother to heat and cool the oil. I use sarson ka teyl (mustard oil) and use it raw as we love the smell of mustard.
Most Delightful. Thanks a Lot.
It is so easy to make this masala.. This masala is an all time favourite with roti. This is more delicious then what we get in the markets. Thank you!!!
