This was one of my favourite breads during school and college life. I was so happy to find the recipe in Julie's erivum puliyum. I've used half of quantity mentioned in her space and got one big dilkush ideal for our small family. I've used a filling of my choice and also planning to try a savoury filling next time. Also julie's tip to lavishly brush egg on the dough worked really well. I got very good colour on top. It was delicious. Dil kush hua
