hi iam jai here. Recently i came to ur blogsite searching for the recipe of tamarind rice. I luv it whenever my mom makes it. She makes it really great. I tried ur method and u know what ,it is much easier than how we used to prepare earlier.U have simply used just 2tbspns of tamarind juice and done it more easier.I found ur method very easy and it came out very delicious on the day i had prepared. Thank u for the recipe. I also used prema's version of Rava Dosa recommended by u for the actual measurements.And that also came out very well.Thanks.

I also wanted to tell u what an interesting blog u have got. So one can do so many things thru blogs is it? Even i write thru blogs but it is only my thoughts in day to day life. How do u post photos there so attractive. I will try these ideas from u !!
Thanks once again!

bye
jai.
