April 17, 2023 at 7:08 pmJust love ur recipes…and also the way how u use Karnataka style to uplift our recipe which is often generalised with Tamil or other South Indian recipes…Karnataka has a distinct recipe,different spice blend and great variation even within state…expecting more Karnataka style dishes from u covering all districts
