Winter is upon us and this arctic freeze is making things worse. After spending several years in one of the coldest regions of North America, I take pride in my capabilities of fighting the cold, but boy, this is cold!!!
Cold weather and a hot, tangy curry with ghee rice- isn't it a wonderful combination?So for tonight's dinner, I prepared a wonderful curry that is really easy to prepare and full of flavour. Served with roti or rice, this can be a wonderfully comforting meal for your family. This curry is influenced by Hyderabadi flavours and after cooking it once, I am sure you will be making it again and again.
