Mom’s Notes:

1.Always eat Non-Veg dishes after one hour of preparation which gives the heavenly taste.This perfectly suits well for fish.

2.Dont change non-veg dishes to too many vessels except serving bowls.I usually had the same pan till it finish off.

3.Reheat it after every 8hrs,it can be tasted well for next day’s Idly,dosa, chapathi.
