I  adapted this recipe from Mallika Badrinath's recipe book Murrukkus and Mixtures..When I was in college my aunty Shalini akka had introduced me to her cookery books and the first book bought by me was her Rice dishes book.Then I started collecting her other editions one by one as she introduced it and now have few collections.
