Very useful post, thank u for sharing and I glad to follow you.
very very new dish.. never heard of them..
ths dish really surprised me… never heard something lik ths..& wat's the difference between citrus leaves nd lemon leaves?
Sorry for not making myself clear. Actually two types of leaves are used. One is the normal lemon leaf and the other is the leaf of ganapathy naragam (the lemon used as offering for Lord Ganapathy). But it is optional.
This is very new to me dear… but very interesting ..Thanks for sharing !!
Was an authentic dish, my grandma makes this quite often and we usually carry them whenever we go back to home after our vacation..Makes me nostalgic Nandoo.
