Coimbatore Street Food - Kaalan Chat After starting my blog in 2009, i tried to make Kaalan once. I followed the same 3 steps which that old street vendor in Coimbatore used to do. 1.

Then i read online that nutmeg is the main ingredient in Kaalan which i never used. The lady who uploaded this tip ( Ramya ) got this information from a roadside Vendor who is making Kaalan for years. Hooray!!!! i got the secret ingredient, tried again with the new ...
