Thanks P.S Tamby for the useful info.
Take care, Kugan
The month of March and April are very taxing for me.
A couple from India are coming for lunch on Friday.
India, they would not like all the mock, mock things.
It seems they are not fans of biryani or pulaos:roll:
So have to crack my head for a nice South Indian lunch.
Let me see what I come up with.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

side dish for idli / dosai. En friend veetla they call it puli milaga (green chillies in tamrind).
Please post the variations also.
sudhaji..
injippuli (kerala style ) and puli inji (nagercoil side ) are different from puli milagai I think. ( enga paatti adhai pulimilagai thuvaiyal-nu solli araichu vachiduvanga )
