  28. OOOOOOOooooh that is my very very fav one raji… the tomato rice which i posted already is one type. The next version which i wanted to post is this kind. But the difference is for making the paste, I just use the garlic, saunf, redchilli and coconut. Others are same. I love this ..becos grinding little coconut gives different flavor to the tomato rice. Seeing ur display plate its making me drool..hopefully I'll make tomato rice today. And asusual ur pictures are damn good dear.
