Diving back into real life after coming from a vacation is not easy. Sometimes I do think that vacation days never end.😀😜
But like all good things, it has to.
I was craving a simple meal, so after I stepped into my kitchen, I prepared Kashmiri Dahi Baingan. This dish is easy, flavourful, and simply awesome.
Have you ever tried it?
