In your age it is difficult to get the recipes. only by mouth you need to collect that. thank you very much. <br /><br />I have a clarification regarding the spice powders. Many a place you mentioned the combo of coriander powder,sambar powder. Is that sambar powder or kulambu chilly powder. Please clarify this. In one recipe you mentioned sambar powder (kulambu chilly powder). so i confused... recipes like Pachai Kondakadalai Pirattal (Fresh Chick Peas Curry), saiva meen kulambu, poondu vengaya kulambu like that.<br /><br />I tried out your mushroom pulav.. it is awesome. I tried with sambar powder not kulambu chilly powder. is that correct?<br /><br />Thanks in advanceIndian Spicy Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991394101881018001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242010753799130891.post-6603667606092936182011-10-15T02:48:40.232-07:002011-10-15T02:48:40.232-07:00Kasirajan,I wonder how you can give a comment that...Kasirajan,I wonder how you can give a comment that my measurements are wrong.This is the measurement used in a kuzhambu milagai thool in almost all chettiar households.If you are a chettiar sometimes in your house it may be different,but you can never pass a comment like that.In each house it is different.Those who like my recipes follow this.If you dont find this correct,please just ignore this blog.Solai Chidambaramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554567160314531774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242010753799130891.post-65388329617028881272011-10-15T00:05:00.312-07:002011-10-15T00:05:00.312-07:00In Kuzhambu Milagai Thool, you are giving wrong me...In Kuzhambu Milagai Thool, you are giving wrong measurements.
