Hi Suguna, Your recipe’s are simple and cleanly laid out. I tried yellu podi, avarai kulambu & masala egg last weekend and loved it. I have started to follow your site and have been making couple of dishes in the last few weeks. After reading about you, I am infact planning to buy a Wusthof knife myself 🙂 I am a coimbatorean, but currently in US. Being a fellow coimbatorean I appreciate and relate to many of your dishes and tastes. You are doing a wonderful job. Congrats and my heartfelt wishes.
Thank you Sathish Kumar Kathirvelu. Really glad to know that you like the recipes. I love knives. I am sure you will like it too. I sharpen my knife in a sharpening stone (whetstone) once in 4-6 months. Its been more than 10 years old and I love it. For daily use i use a sharpening steel (rod) to keep it sharp. Thank you!

Dear Kannamma aka Suguna Vinodh (yeah sorry in my mind Kannamma has registered long before i got acquainted to the “about me”). I am a regular visitor to your site. Began with the discovery of the impeccable Idly maavu recipe. Since then i have enjoyed your posts and ofcourse attempted quite a few including the absolutely delicious version of Vendakkai Puli Kuzhambu.
You are one of the few food bloggers i avidly follow. Measurements that dont fail and of course room for slight tweaking and creativity as well.
I am always busy grabbing a recipe and running off the site to make it. Today i thought enough is enough; i ought to stop and tell you that you inspire me and i am sure many others too. Thank you for constantly sharing wonderful recipes (lovely nah… delicious photographs). The posts are a wealth of information. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words Poornima. It means a lot to me. You made my day!
As an egg lover and a big fan of Indian cuisine I keep on learning, I’m thrilled to find this recipe! Since I always have a couple of boiled eggs in the kitchen (just in case…), I already see it as an easy weekday dinner after I come back from the office or a lazy Sunday brunch… Thank you so much for inspiration. I’m really glad I’ve found your fascinating blog!
Thank you!
