Mam, should we not add jeeragam too?
No, we don't add cumin seeds for morkuzhambu
But you have added in the video
Yes, my mil dont add jeera. But after your comment, I tried once with jeera and liked the taste so now I started adding jeera. Also Thoor dal along with channa dal. Both of them gave a nice flavour.
Please let me know if turmeric is added twice? First time to Okra and then again at the end to the yogurt also? So 1/4th tsp is added to Okra and then another 1/4th tsp is added once again to yogurt? Please clarify. I love your website and thank you for providing delicious recipes.
yes i have used turmeric powder twice, once for ladysfinger and other with the curd. Thanks for lovely words.
pls update the ingredients….your video and ingredients dont match…for eg..in your video you have added jeera and thur daal…but your ingredients dont mention that.
