    You have me floored dear Vani with this wonderful heirloom recipe. It’s such a delight to have three lovely ingredients, each prominent in terms of flavour being combined together. Oh every bite will be pure joy. The aroma from the mix topped up by the Bananna leaf is sure to make everyone around hungry. I am super impressed and throughly loved this dish.
