Thanks, visitor. Would appreciate if I know the wellwisher…
Oh Yeah Shan, my MIL also use whole garam masala instead of powder. But i liked this method so posted in this way.
Kavi, the same way i used to make this kuzhambu, instead of garam masala i used to season with Pattai, kirambu and elachi…Also i add veggie’s like brinjol and drumstick to it or raddish…Tastes yummy…

Hi Kavi,
Sorry, I couldn't reply you immediately but got the problem fixed though. Wasn't home yesterday and missed a whole bunch of comments. Actually after you upload your thumbnail image, select it and immediately the icon close to "font family" block should be highlighted, just click that to unlink and submit and there you go… the image will be show up with the recipe.
