This recipe is made with milk shark known as ‘paal sura’. It pairs excellently with rice and rasam. It is also commonly served to lactating mothers in several parts of Tamilnadu. It resembles a scrambled egg or the “meen peera’ of Kerala. Sura puttu is loved by all in our house and is often cooked at home.
