Mullai,
Your recipes with presentation makes me to stand in kitchen all the time to try all the items. You are awesome! My hubby loved this poori masala.

Is poori masala a bit watery. I have seen at few shops; thought they are selling such masala for profit only. Yet, few shops have the pirattal masala like the cutlet fillings. which one is the exact poori masala. Nice poori btw.
hi mullai your poori looks nice how did you make this, can you give me the method?
