  10. Hi Charishma,
    The Moode is quiet nostalgic to me. We had some Manglorean neighbours around our place in early 80's that was during my school days and one of our friendly neighbour aunty, Sharadha Shenoy used to give me this. Since they left Coimbatore, I have never had this food, not even I had a clue what this food was until I saw your picture in Pinterest. Your post and picture kindled my memories along with the unforgettable smell of those steamed rice cake wed in leaves.
