For past one week, i was busy with my parents house warming function and didnt get time to post any recipes or visit my friends blogs. I shall be busy for coming week too. Once i settle everything, i shall try to be on track soon. This is one of my best experiment which made my hubby to kiss my hands. I was so touched with this compliment. I have fallen in love with curry leaves since i tried Karuvepillai Eral Thokku. I have started experimenting more with this leaf in most of my recipes. So try this and let me know your feedback too 🙂
