Hi Sherly, Thanks for trying out my recipe. Let me add a few comments - adding a lil' more puli to this gives it a good flavour. This dish requires equal tastes of puli & salt. As you said, that it was smelling horrible,adding 1-2 more pulis will suppress the smell & the tindoras can be stir fried a lil more... thats all... other wise its a very good combination with rice !!! Keep up the spirit...
