It’s a perfect choice for pairing with roti, naan, or rice, offering a comforting and healthy meal for any occasion. Sri Mayyia Caterers dates back to 1953, a nostalgic era where traditional Indian fare was a clear favourite, and every feast or celebration was incomplete without the mouthwatering delicacies.
Excellent recipe. I loved that it was super easy to make and it came out very very tasty. I am in love with this recipe.
