Tips for making Madurai Kizhangu Pottalam

• Sesame oil adds more flavor than coconut oil or any other cooking oil.

• Besan also enhances the flavor and gives a nice nutty flavor to the masala.
• If you like, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice after switching off the flame for a nice tangy flavor.
