Cannot get through it, its like a old friend of you, even if u ignore and get lost in this busy world it is always there for you. So I thought nothing can be so satisfying than sharing and writing about my food and experiences with what I cook. I have taken pictures of my recipes that I should post long before and now planning to write about it. Every Sunday morning breakfast in my Mom-in-laws house is the same for years. Dosa and Chicken cooked in freshly prepared coconut curry and we Love it :)
