If you want to prepare a delectable dish when vegetables are
out of stock at home, this is one recipe that you could try out. I learnt this recipe from my paternal
aunt. I share a close bonding with my paternal
aunt though we have never expressed each other much. I know it is same with my aunt and whenever
she talks to me, I could feel the immense love that she had on me. Since my childhood, my mom says that I
resemble my aunt in my looks and behavior; maybe one of the reasons that I have
developed a secret liking towards her :-)..
Moving quickly back to the recipe without much distraction,
this is a no vegetable dish which can be made in jiffy.

Pappads/ulundu appalam - 5 (small size pappads broken into 4
equal sizes)
