Tips:
- Do not make the ground paste watery. As it will take long to dry the liquid in sukka.
- Adjust salt as per taste and spice level.
- Kanda-Lasun masala is optional. You can skip this and add coriander-cumin powder too.
- For Malvani Masala check my recipe.
Enjoy!!
When I started fishing for freshwater tarpon I would use small patch crabs and would drift them right in front of tarpon and they would not seem interested.
