Sundaikai is my favourite from my childhood. No one in rest of my family like it. So whenever my mum does sundaikai no one would fight with me for the share. Also she has do something which will last for few days as I will be the only one who will eat. Puli kulambu is one of those dish that can last for 10 days. Esp this one. This doesn’t contain any coconut so it can last longer. I did this after long time and my kids loved it. It is good for health too
