Great to see ur recipes. I am from Tamil Nadu too, so loved all the recipes you had here. The paya recipe was just like the one my mom makes!

A question I had - do u get paya here in the US just like we get in India? I live in Dallas and found it in one of the Indian stores here, but it was not the smoked/roasted variety like we see in India - it was raw. So was wondering if you knew how to cook this! Let me know if you do.

Answer to Priyas Question :

In US you will wont get the smoked / rosted one.

I see very light difference in taste when u use the raw one..I will say u shd try once with the raw one..trust me ..u will love it !

Thanks for the wonderful recipe.Instead of using raw ones,can we do ourselves that smoking/roasting process and use to follow the traditional method(recipe)? If you know how they do it in Chennai,please pass on to us.
