The picture of the 'pitto' like the temple gopura looks good! One of these days I need to make the pitto myself. I always use the store bought stuff.
Thanks for your family recipe, Maya. Looking forward to Kolombo now. I can almost smell the aroma here.
Maya, pitto looks very nice in color and must be very aromatic! Thks for sharing!
