I’m still trying out ur recipes.. today will try out the puffs and chepa pulusu.. thank u so so much for such great recipes! 🙂
The hotel sambar and cilantro chicken kolombu in particular got everyone asking me if I had got from the restaurant!
Thank you!!!
Thank you mullai..! I was searching this receipe from long time and trying myself from the taste I has experienced outside.. I tried sterday and it was great..! Nandri.. Could you please get andra pappu receipe? same thuvaram paruppu (Thoor Dal) with little tangy taste n highly spicey.
You can even add the paste of Onion and tomato and add it before adding the tamarind pulp. it would make the gravy thick. also try adding coconut powder when the gravy is getting bioled. it would taste awesome.
Good work Of all the websites i have seen urs is the best mullai
Yes Sri,
Mullai mam’s website is something special. Have you noticed there is no annoying pop ups or ads here. Different & Well presented recipes (excluding my messed up work). She encourages members much and it makes us feel like this is our own website. I am addicted to this website – now early morning while having tea iam browsing it. (I get scold by mam to not spend time here & study during exams)Btw, You are rite mam is a good photographer as well. Always wanted to say that and forgot :))

look and feel of the website is great
Sri,
Oray pugazhchi mazhayai irrukku!!! Thanks a bunch. Cooking… chumma hobby than, ethu seithalum…. neeraiva seiyanumunu oru chinna aasai. Moreover the fulfillment and happiness you gain, when something turns out great, is what makes me an addict to this. Guess what? one of my fav cuisine is thai food. Where in thailand? Anyways, nice to know you and keep visiting for more exciting recipes.
Thanks Mullai,
I think, good work should be appreciated, whatever it is on. I was literally moved so much by the way it was presented. Though lot of people know cooking, it is rare to see them sharing with others. Feeling gud to see people like u.
My hubby and myself love cooking so much and we do respect people who do it. Blessed r u.
Yeah we are living in Bangkok. Do drop by us in case, you happen to be at Bangkok.
Sri,
Thank you, sure why not, we will meet, if I get a chance to fly there.
Great recipe, It just turned out the way my Mom does. I never watch her cook, but being in Canada, I have no choice to satisfy my craving for certain things. Thank you once again.
Excellent curry. I was a bit skeptical about adding tamarind juice in this curry but it turned out great!!! Defintely going to make it again!!! 🙂
Hi.. thanks! Nice to hear that it turned out well. Try my other recipes and post your comments. How does the site look in general? Do you find everything well classified? Any inputs will be appreciated.
