Sia,

Are we related? My Ajji was the so similar and she was from Mangalore too. She died about 15 yrs ago. I really miss her cooking and regret that I never learned any of her cooking. My Ajja died 2 yrs ago at the age of 103. How I miss my Ajja and Ajji and ofcourse Mangalore after reading your post. Thanks for bringing back sweet memories.

Such a beautiful tribute to your grandmother, Sia....

What a wonderful post! You reminded me of my Ajji (maternal grandmother), even the description matches...the silk saree, jasmine flowers, knotted bun, kumkum and ofcourse especially the bath routine.
I was fortunate enough to have had her company for a longer time.

I will definitely try this recipe very soon.
