When I saw the words, "Saiva" and "Meen" together in the title, I thought, you must be kidding me! Looks good! Kudos on using a clay pan 🙂. It may add a bit of a earthy flavor to the dish.

Hi there! I'm from Pennsylvania, & Ive been following your webpage for a while and love all your posts! I do a lot of south indian cooking and I've been inspired to try out the various dishes and they've been really yummy ! Really good website you have and great recipes esp like this saiva meen post :)! Its a great site however one thing that's a put off for me is..maybe its just with me -Recently all the ads that run right across recipes and your page and i can hardly read the recipe and then out of sheer annoyance, I just close the whole page down and search elsewhere for recipes. the momen I close one ad another couple more pop up and takes away all the joy of reading your webpage..just thought i must let you know .
