Vasu sir, I am not joking, or just telling you to please you.
My whole house was having the gama gama smell, after doing the puli kaachal.

Usually, my house would be crowded with relatives, children during the school holidays.
One relative who came to fetch his child, tasted the puli saatham, told ,me,
that he would be coming to my house next month again and wants the puli kaachal,
as well as the puli saatham.

Thanks Vasu sir, keep your recipes rolling.
