Introduction

This is simpler recipe used by my paternal Grandma.In the old days this would be ground on a hand-turned Grinding Stone.This activity took place in the afternoons and traditional couplets called Oavya composed by various Saints would be sung during the process to uplift the spirits.Today I miss a lot of things which I loved seeing and watching in my childhood.That I guess is called Progress!
