Notes | FAQ

- Do not overcook the seppankizhangu. In case you accidentally overcook, then refrigerate it for sometime until it is slightly firm and then slice it.
- For added crispiness, you can add about ½ tsp of rice flour while making the masala paste.
- While roasting, keep turning the arbi slices for even roasting or else you might taste raw masala on one side.
