NOV anneh, thanks for your nice post.
My friend said that one can add few bird's eye chillie for extra kick.
Amma must have been a super cook. Try using ginger, it gives a nice aroma like maggi's
NOV anneh, super with roti canai also.
Thanks for the tip to preserve it from evaporation.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Dev please try the chillie sauce, very yummy.
You can have it with bajii, pakoras, even vadai.
Or try this, grate some carrots, cut some onions, green chillies.
add them to all purpose flour with little baking powder.
Make it into a little loose batter, drop spoonfuls in oil and deep fry them.
Serve them with this chillie sauce, yummy.
Thanks. Kugan

Suvai, I've not tried Mano's seeyali...all we make is idli upma or the masala varities of mini idlis that K has posted earlier...

Keerai...this karisilanganni grows very well in wet land... In my uncle's palce, it has grown like a green carpet around coconut trees... thappi thavari kaalai ulla vaika mudiyaadhu...appadi pudhar maadhiri valarnthu irukku... I took some from there to try...no-one here cooks this keerai...
