Off record v An ingenuous opinion for my (Ulli stew÷ caught quoted from my bro, after a couple of futile diggings into the bowl (probably searching for something). (Ithentha, Mutta illatha mutta curry yo?????÷. Looks of exhilaration on our faces gave way to baffled ones, from one to another. 🙁 No prizes for guessing the snag I faced to convince him about the authenticity in the name and make of the dish. Little did I know that he was infact pulling my leg. Or maybe he was simply pointing out the truth. ;-p It infact did look like a Mutta curry without Mutta (eggs) in it. So, I guess if we toss in a couple of boiled eggs in it, we¦d really have a yummy Egg curry in hand. Just need to change the name.... Would try it next time for surea. 🙂 Anyways, coming back to the point, before any sort of further paroxysm broke out in the room; he conferred me with a favorable verdict and asked me to make it often with Appams and Chappathis. 🙂 Bhagyama. Attempt kolamayillaa. Another sigh of relief!!! ;-p
