User Comments & Tips

1. Don't powder the rice into a very smooth flour at the same time it shouldn't be too granular
2. Best results can be achieved when cooked on a medium flame.
3. Coconut Chutney would make a perfect side dish for this menu.

My dinner was finally done. And guess what?? We couldn't wait till it was time!! I already had several inside even before dinner!! So people try it and let me know your comments.
