    Oh can't remember the last time i are nelikka. The pachidi looks delicious.
    I remeber when we were in school we used to eat nelika with salt and then drink water as it nelika gave a sweet taste to the water ;-)

    Ooo ... we used to pluck nellikais off the trees and eat them when we were kids. I really miss that :(

    Hmm, wonder where I can get my hands on some fresh nellikai here!

    Yeah dont remember when I had nellikai the last time..Its a long time though. I liked the small nellikai more than the bigger ones and have memories of plucking from trees when i was small..
    pachidi looks great.

    @ Raks Kitchen... Dont know if the taste would be different with the dry ones, but it surely will be useful for those who dont get fresh nellikaai.

    @ Happy Cook, Rajitha, Prema ... Ya, all such small incidents of childhood can never be forgotten.

    @ Rajitha.. you can try with frozen ones too..
