I love this chamathi, last time i had them was 18 years ago, I have not had them after getting married 😦
Here one of my vietnameese friends , friend who is from thailand, was cooking thai food with fish sace and her landlord too came and told her she should not make thiis food as it was really smelly. She didn’t had to cacate .
