Couple of weeks back, while talking to my MIL, she casually named the dishes she had prepared. What intrigued me was the mention of Mulaku Thoran, which I had never heard of. She was as excited as me while narrating the preparation.
J loved the dish.
The chillies used for this preparation are the big variety which is very mild. You may retain the seeds of the chilli if you wish.
