ReplyDeleteit is overtaking the SCRIPT :)
please add 'seasoning' to the list of popu/tadka etc for non-Indian readers.
plus 'garita' is fine but have 'laddle' in brackets so everyone understands what we are talking about :)
pls remove 'date' option from your settings in camera...
ReplyDeletesure, will remove the date option. I tried uploading the pic again but not sure how it is looking now. Becoz it was looking fine even yesterday. Pls let me know if it needs to be uploaded again :)
ReplyDeleteis it not necessary to chop the leaves? That's we do at home.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it tastes very yummy if you fry fine chopped onions in the tadka along with crushed garlic. Perhaps you could mention that as "Variations" if onion/garlic are not wanted in the main recipe.
