Vanpayar Olathiyathu
Kanji & payar is a welcome change from our usual chappathi for dinner. Hot kanji sprinkled with salt & grated coconut, along with a little bit overcooked payar ( I like my payar to be a bit pasty with kanji) is a taste that I find hard to trade for any fancy dish. Kanji & [...]

So far, of all the Sanjeev Kapoor recipes that I’ve [...]
