Wow..sherikkum kothiyavunu..mu favorite,looks spicy and yummy.
Dear Sangeetha
Very nice dish…will try if I go near sea….in delhi , we get some frozen ones which I cant eat…
I may use the spicing for cooking strips of lamb….
I feel good reading your comments at my sweet Pulao…try it…you may reduce sugar from 1/3 to 1/8th even less. The flavour of the raw garam masala makes all the difference, sweetened or not…
Have a nice day
