anu, are you part of sailu's taste of india? it's an RSS aggregator of desi food blogs. it would be an easy way to keep up to date with your latest posts. i don't have anything to do with that site, but i recommend it to everyone.

Asha, U don't need a cooked tuar dhal for this. Just a little amount of raw dhal is enough.
Yes kalai, Its a good medication too..
