Hi Mullai Mam, tried this recipe came out well. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Thanks dear Sarah!
Hi Mullai,
I love your site and all your beautiful recipes. Thanks for helping me to cook good food through ur site. I hope you will add in more recipes.
hi i tried this recipe and it tasted awesome.Hats off to you. You are doing yemom service. If a novice cook like me can prepare an excellant egg salna, its only because of your exact measurements and your description. As far as possible, add exact measurements even with things like Keerai/mint/coriander, which many sites mention just “bunch”. In our city coriander leaves are sold in very big bunch. Which will weigh mininum of kilo. How can i imagine a small bunch of coriander? In Hyderabad I have seen tiny bunches of Coriander which will measure only a tea spoon after cleaning and chooping it. Hope you understand.
Regards
Aswhin.
Thanks Mullai..
hi mullai,
wish u a very happy new year.shouid we need to grind
coconut pieces, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black pepper and onions seperately?these things we need to saute and grind?
Dhivya, they all go together while grinding. Ofcourse it will have the raw smell and that will go away once you saute. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Mullai if we grind onions that r raw wont it be pungent?
No, it won't, actually you have fry the ground onion paste along with all masala for few minutes… say about 3 to 4 minutes, this would cook the masala to make it pungent free.
