Arusuvai from Linda
The rice was some lovely rosematta rice (should have known it can't be any old brown rice) and the podi - kandhi podi ( Pedatha's recipe for kandhi podi) extremely tasty with dosai.
Linda revealed the mystery ingredient, I am going to keep it a secret for a day more. May be this picture would help?
is it kokum.
