Hi,
The Diwali maakolam looks amzing. I make a similar kolam too. Can u pls tell me how did u make the perfect circle in the outer boundary? Do u use some thing to make tht or is it freehand?
Hi Priya,thanks for the nice words, I dont use anything for making that circle free hand only,I have made this kolam so many times,so through practice it comes out good. 🙂
hi Raks
i made potato curry today…seeing ur recipe…i lived it…..thanks…….this is a good version…
hi Raks,
I tried both potato and raw banana with this grounded masala, it was so good, Can I try it with Cabbage ?
You can try, I haven't though 🙂
Hi, can you give a quick fix for the grinding masala if i added water (without reading the whole post 🙁 ).
the whole thing is watery and now what to do?? 🙁
Thats fine if you add water and grind. Later we are adding water to cook right, so adjust with that.
