  • :- Good to go with rice n kachiya moru.
  • :- Mezhukku made with fresh payar is amazing.. It tastes better if u cook in its own water(that oozes from payar). Also never forget to cook on low flame. Hope everyone loves this dish.. I always crave for this dish all d time, especially those cultivated, freshly picked and cooked by loving ammachi...Miss u...
