This recipe is a traditional South Indian one. A family recipe, this is handed down from Mother to Daughter, or even better, from Mother-in-law to Daughter-in-law. I learnt this one from my Mother-in-law. This is a perfect recipe for festivals and even ordinary days. A tangy, spicy mixture of various Indian spices or Masalas!
