Hi vanamala, just came across u'r awesome website... Felt really nice reading some of the authentic iyengar recipes, esp named authentically( eg: cheera chatumbdh, karimbdh etc etc) Being an Iyengar myself, had lost touch with those terminologies for a while. Thanx for rekindling emotions(good ones).
