The story goes like this....
Once a newly married man was invited to his in-laws house along with his wife for a weekend dinner.
The season then being the rainy season, this "Keerlu Bikkanda Go'd Sukke" was cooked as part of their elaborate meal.
This guy loved spicy food so refused this dish while being served inspite of lot of coaxing from his wife and Mother-in -law.
However the enthusiastic mother-in-law, somehow served a bit of this dish by mistake.
And while eating the meal, this guy managed to taste it and fell in love with it.
