Are u from Kozhikode
good recipe of kozhukkatta.
PC: the one that goes with chicken curry is `Pidi” which is the dish of sathya kristhyani in and around moovattupuzha,perumbavur etc.
asafoetida powder is called “kaayam” in malayalam, and “hing” in hindi….
Can anyone tell me what is “Asafoetida powder”? And can i get that in USA? I like to try this but dont know what this power is… thanks
Very good. My son loves it.

i am surprised by the ignorance of lb regarding asafoetida,think she didnt see kitchen when she was young
YES YOU CAN GET ASAFOETIDA IN ANY DECENT INDIAN SHOP IN USA

Can I substitute besan flour or wheat flour instead of rice flour for this recipe?
