To enhance the taste of Rasam!

To enhance the taste of Rasam, temper using ghee instead of oil. This gives you a taste which you will never forget!Try it out!

To make Idli Upma Tastier!!

Keep the left over Idlies in the fridge for some time and make upma from that. Upma will be crunchy. The taste will be enhanced If you use Idli Milagai podi Instead of redchillies. Try it Out!!!

While cutting Yam..

When you are cutting yam,rub the tamarind into your hands.So that hands wont get irritated.
