Hai guys..Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was enjoying weekend with ma hubby in my mother's place, Since amma went for a outing with her collegues. We were looking after our little sister, had a great time together..We cooked together, had a nice chat and had lots of fun. I made a village style chicken curry and prepared the most amazing fried chicken, Seriously guys it was delicious. I will post that soon..

 

 

Now coming back to the recipe, this is one recipe from my mum. I took this pictures during one of my visit to her place. She is an expert in making this. Usually I used to cook food and take pictures all by myself. But this time I just stayed next to her and was clicking. I want to share this recipe with you all so badly because it taste so divine.

I even made a video of her making this. So enjoy this post.
