  3. Hi Lissie,
    The curry looks great, will definitely try this out.
    Since its Onam season now, can you post recipes for erissery, olan, kootukari? The others I found in your site, these ones I didn’t find.. It would be great if you could share recipes for these, whatever I have tried so far (around 16 dishes) they all came out well so would love to prepare these using your recipe this onam.

    Thanks,
    Priya
