To call it a silver lining in midst of the gloom, happy to share this little interview of this humble blogger in Smart Indian Woman! 🙂 It is only due to all of your support that I have this little space of mine, thank you one and all for being around…
I have already mentioned a few times on the blog the difficulty of making my folks at home have vegetarian food. It always makes me scroll through my files or the mobile to find a suitable way of cooking lentils or vegetables differently from how I normally do. I have already shared a curry with green peas, which is the usual way I make it, but then making the same thing every time invites some dirty looking frowning faces, which definitely I would not like to see! Hehe… This one was a nice mild curry which went so well with the chapathis I made with them… would taste awesome with rice as well! 🙂 This is one curry that my moothamma would serve with vellappams… it is totally delicious!
