Thanks for your kindness in replying and trying out the recipe.. Expecting your comments after trying it.. I pray it shouldnt taste worse.
Well raji, thanks for replying. I just tried only this recipe and tasted good. I didn't try any other side dish that would go along with this.. If you find any thing that suits this, please inform me. Thank you.
Hey I tried it yesterday. It was simply :wow And very simple too... All the ingredients are usually always available at home. And as Shivshankari said I added peas too. But I made a very very small change, added cumin seeds instead of mustard seed. Somehow I felt cumin will taste better. And of course ghee instead of oil. (Because I was trying first time, I didn't have much confidence on myself )... Thanks for the recipe. It turned out so good. :thumbsup
