When Lathamma started the arusuvai friendship chain

I was an non- blogger then but eagerly visited all the blogs.

I never thought that I would also be a part of this beautiful

chain.Ramya of Mane Adige has sent across the surprise

ingredient.It is bit easy to find the ingredient as it is in

our daily breakfast table in the form of chutney....

It is Channa Dahlia ( pottukadalai in tamil).

Thanks Ramya for sending me an easy ingredient.

Along with the surprise ingredient Ramya is so sweet

to send me yummy recipe with

channa dhalia and a beautiful book as a friendship token.
