Hi Gayathri,
I hast happened to come across your recipe, tried it and it came out excellent. This is almost similar to what my mom used to make back home from Kakinada area, Andhra. The only difference is that they used to make one masala paste including the spices in the powder in your recipe. For making the ground masala paste, do you use mortar and prestle or a grinder?
-thanks
