Pepper Poha is a spicy, flaky tiffin made by tossing poha with tempered spices and coconut. Pepper Poha also called Milagu Aval is a good choice of tiffin for dinner and could be made in minutes. Milagu Aval Recipe is explained in this post with step by step pictures.
It has been busy for the past 2 days here at Chennai…….Was at my perimmas place with my cousins, had a good time together, the much needed break I would say.We had been planning for this get together for the past 2 yrs and am happy that it did happen now.
Was at annanagar today after years, felt a bit nostalgic seeing the places that I have roamed around….the hospital where mittu was born,my shopping times at Nalli,Santosh stores,the restaurants I have been to so many times but still crave for that sambar rice from hotchips and my fav north indian menu from Paramount….aahhh good old memories.
