I have a sri lankan restaurant that has just opened up near me and I was looking up some of the dishes when I stumbled on to your site. At least I now know what to order! Thanks...

Can't wait to try it out in my kitchen. Still, on a cold day, spicy pongal warms you up from the inside!

After my first travel to South India it s food became my favorite. Your recipe for Masala dosa turned out amazingly perfect (as I remember it from Kerala). But pongal is my real favorite and it is the heavenly food. En lep pozdrav iz Slovenije, Mihael Namaste Indira,

I made this Pongal recipe yesterday and was blown away. I've always disliked pongal at temple for the reasons you stated above- always pressure cooked, too dry, little taste. Slow-cooking made all the difference- it was heavenly! We had it with a modified version of your alu mattar curry with soya- great combo :) PS your mango daal recipe is superb!

Visit the site : http://www.123pongal.com/pongal/recipes/ This has the photo which you have used above for pongal. I dint know that much reputed websites even cheat.....check it out...and do the needful. Will followup later, bye yar!! <i>Indira replies: Thanks for bringing this to my notice. I contacted the editor of the website and waiting for the reply. I just hate these guys, I don't understand how they can steal stuff so blatantly. What is wrong with asking permission, after all they are made to be seen. Just a simple email or comment for permission, that's all they need to do. God I hate these stealers. </i> Hi Indira,

What is the proportion of water + milk ratio to rice + dal? Would really appreciate if you cud answer these two queries of mine. Thank you. BTW: I have tried the sag paneer recipe of yours and it came out very well.
