Who does not love food? Like you, I too love food, especially tasty, delicious, mouth-watering South indian cuisine. Many people think that cooking is difficult, even I've thought so, but after learning a few dishes that could be easily prepared, I developed an interest towards cooking.
In this blog, I'll be sharing a few of my recipes and a few authentic tried and tested recipes from my mother and mother in law.
Since I love my food hotnspicy, let us start with a super easy hot n spicy chutney !!!
