சீடை தயாரிப்பு செய்முறை குறிப்புகள் மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக உள்ளது. நன்றி. எங்கள் வீட்டில் சீடை மாவில் தேங்காய் துருவல் சேர்க்கிறார்கள். கடலைப்பருப்பு சேர்ப்பதில்லை.

we would be happy if the janmashtami recipes are given in tamil so that the housewife’s can easily follow it. secondly on going through the other recipies n.v. items were published, which as a brahmin, feel that those would have been avoided. Thanks.
