I am fond of south Indian  food, the quality of south  Indian food is...... it is less oily and  great in taste . I always  wanted to learn south Indian  recipes. Luckily I got a friend  Nadiya Najimudeen who is  from kerala .She is a beautiful human being and cooks delicious south Indian dishes.
She is a proud mother of three little daughters Nidha, Nihana and Nuha  and gets  occupied with them all the time. But when I requested her to cook something delicious for my esteemed readers. She squeezed  time  from her busy schedule and cooked Yummy south Indian dessert kinnathappam  for us.
