    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

      Very good recipe. I made it today and everyone loved it. Just one correction, I think adding the cooked mochchai paruppu has been missed by accident in the recipe procedure. I scrolled down the photos to see when you have added it.
