Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. It was awesome and it comes out very well.I remember my patti taste in this recipe.Thanks a lot.
Thank you. Glad to hear
Nice recipe. I have given 1 star less, bcoz, no keerai should be cooked covered. All keerais have oxalic acid which boils off. When cooking covered or in pressure cooker, they fall back into keerai. Not good for health. Keerais should be cooked in open pan only.
