Two yummy recipes in one! That plate of rice and dal looks so good right now.I am starving, just came home with daughter and I was checking my mail.Got to cook now.
Kootu and fry both look mouthwatering!
I have never tried tindora with potato. Even the kootu has an interesting combination of veggies. I will post my version of tindora curry soon.
