Hi aarthi I love ur blog. As I am new to cooking I refer to a lot of recepies in your blog. They are authentic and easy to do with the step by step pictures.
I have a small doubt here in this recipe. Can I use puttu maavu for this (ie) arisi maavu roasted or should I use only plain rice flour?? Help me out here pls
