Since my wife is out to her native, my cooking was under test. Even though I know cooking I sometimes depend on internet to try something new. This time I wanted to try mutta curry with chappathi. I googled and found this website and tried. It was so tasty and I don’t believe that it was prepared by me. The recipe was very simple and the way u presented with both text and picture is appreciable. Thank you for making my desire to come true in simply way.
