Aruna, this has many versions. I loved this version very much. Try it and you will love it.

Pel, I read an interesting story about the whole puran poli. Usually this is prepared for baby shower. We were not having any means of knowing the baby would be girl or boy. There was a belief in some places that, if the outer wrap remains, the baby would be boy and if inner stuffing remains, baby would be girl. Hahaha…neat idea isn’t it???

Roopa, try this version sometime. I am sure you would love it.

Sra, Thanks for commenting here. Tirphal is generally used with fish and not with prawns/shrimps. I don’t think it would taste good with shrimps. Usually it is paired with coconut , it may be because coconut retains its aroma. I will find out if there are any dishes without coconut.

Asha, thats a good news. I didn’t know what to solve the commenting issue. I was working on it still. bYes, obbattu saaru is indeed very tasty. I can’t find time to make obbattu, so I make only obbattu saru .

Sneha, go ahead and make it. Its so tasty ,

Thanks a lot Yogita for trying out chicken kadai. Its been a long time, I haven’t tried it. Will try it again.

Musical, Welcome to my blog.I am so happy to see you here. Thanks.

Hi Shilpa, the first time I’m commenting here. I’ve been checking your blog the last few days for info on triphal, which I bought recently. I know it’s used in fish curry, can we substitute the fish with prawns instead?
Also, all the vegetarian dishes I’ve seen on the Net with triphal include coconut – is it necessary to use coconut to get the taste of triphal? And it’s also used in dals, right? Can we use it with all dals (without coconut) or only with beans and peas?
