I’m in the process of shifting my home and as usual, it involves a lot of planning, sorting out and selling unwanted stuff. Oops, I forgot to plan my menu for today. So here I am in front of the refrigerator peeking in to see; what I can cook?
Enough of the Dal Chawal… Why not make some veggies, paneer, meat to go with chapattis? I used all the ingredients available at home apart from the cream and herbs that I ordered. In a rush because I have to feed
Here We Go
