Magical Spices

One if the traditional dish of North Karnataka. Believe not many be knowing about this recipe. I learnt this recipe from my mom but was initially eaten at my Grandmom's house. I had loved this and then on became my favourite dish.
I always used to feel after my marriage who'll make me and give these traditional dishes. I never had thought that I can learn and try making alike; may be I was afraid that its like a Rocket Science I would never know.
Am happy that I learnt and can make on my own today.
