hi seena 2day i tried ur pepper potato as u told,without any changes in the measurements.i reduced peppercorns i put 10.it looks gud,taste is ok,but i hate the aroma.i really appreciate u for sharing ur recepies with us.

Seena said...

Thanks Radhika,
I think , there would be a raw smell if you haven't sauteed the ground paste very well.It might be the reason you hate the smell.. :)
