  1. செய்முறை பக்குவங்கள் மிகவும் அருமை. படமும் ஜோராக உள்ளது.

    ஒரு சின்ன சந்தேகம். தினை, சாமை போன்ற MILLET RICE வகையறாக்களை, தண்ணீரில் ஊற வைக்க வேண்டுமா? அல்லது அப்படியே களைந்துவிட்டு, குக்கரில் ஏற்றிவிட வேண்டுமா?

    Suppose ஊற வைக்க வேண்டுமானால் எவ்வளவு மணி நேரம் ஊற வைக்க வேண்டும்? கொஞ்சம் சொல்லுங்கோ, ப்ளீஸ்.

  2. Thanx for your comments,Sir.
    Personally,I do not soak since I pressure cook them well(I do not stick to the 3-5 whistles rule)If you want to soak,30 minutes will be enough.
