Good initiative of DIY in addition to all the wonderful recipes. One feedback I would want to give is about readability. There is no capitals at the start of a new sentence(i.e after each full stop). I think it would make reading much better. I am a regular follwer of Hebbar’s kitchen. I would say pioneers in short video recipes in India. Mantergla Bisu(Vishu) habbada subhashayagalu. Edde avadu 🙂
