         I think its been long time since I posted my recipe in my blog,I cooked lots n lots,but dint had time to take photo and blog it here....That's because my in-laws were here along with another guest for past 20 days. Then came my son's 5th B' day,so I was busy in organizing that...That's why I am not able to do anything in my blog and missed some of your posts also! Here after I will be regular :)

Hi Raji... I made this curry just now... I was not satisfied with the taste when i tasted the curry immediately after adding the ground masala... I thought i should have not made this but when the masala got roasted well the coconut turned brown the curry tasted simply superb :) All recipes of yours guarantee taste... Keep rocking... thumbs up...
