Hi Jameela
I’ve heard about meen mulakittathu, but never knew its recipe…btw, thanks for trying this. Happy to hear that you liked it :)
Regarding the color, there is no camera trick :) I think this is more of reddish colour and may be the light gives it a yellowish tint.
Presently I dont have any plans to publish a book. Am just doing this as a hobby :)
