Notes
Generally we get Sukku, milagu, Thipili in any Indian Grocery shop. There are 2 varieties of Thipili available, one is Arisi thipili and another one is Kandanthipili. We are using arisi Thipili for this recipe. We can get these Thipili in Ayurveda shops (Naatu Marundhu Kadai)
Do not add more long pepper (Thipili). If added more, we may experience itching of tongue
If you don't have Dry ginger piece you can use dry ginger powder
