The rest not so, tho' I've never tried the upma and banana combo myself.<BR/>Satya, I know, the Tamils and Maloos find it strange, not sure what the Kannadigas do, though. Somebody told me a favourite practice is bobbatlu with vankaya pulusu (for biriyani), kesari and bobbattlu with avakai sound better!<BR/>Sireesha, yeah, I'm aware of this habit - I've tried, didn't like.
