Kitchen Masti Points


  1. Instead of red chillies, you can prepare the thambuli with green chillies. By altering it, the color of the thambuli will be white in color.
  2. If desired, you can also serve the thambuli adding tadka / seasoning into it.
  3. For this you will have to heat a pan with one tsp of ghee and add one broken red chilli along with half tsp urad dal ( black gram ) and mustard seeds. Transfer it into the thambuli bowl.
