  6. Sushma, if we could have got this recipe prior then we could have saved the extra amounts spent on the onions when they were touching the sky.

    Amma calls this "vazhakya thoran"... whatever she calls it it is always delicious. I will try this recipe as it is simple and hope requires less oil.

    Shhh!!! dont tell anyone... I am on a fat free diet :) I always try atleast... You know what?... people who see me nowa days say I have reduced my weight a lot... :)

    keep posting recipes. The most important thing I notice in your blog is that all the recipes are simple and contain ingredients that everyone has at home... at least me

    Expecting more of them...

    Abhi...
