thank you so much. you brought back my childhood comfort food. lovely!! Reminds me of my doddamma.. i would drink litres of this saaru made by her.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, it gives a burnt aroma to the Saaru. I am told my grandma used to add this. Maybe an acquired taste.
Thanks for checking.
