I am following your blog from last 2 years. Please don't stop adding the pictorial of the recipe which makes your blog million times better than other blogs. The reason I am asking you to do this because sometimes we are in hurry and can't read all the recipe or watch the video, the pictorial helps a lot. and keep posting recipes... made so many South Indian dishes from your blog. specially the chutneys.. my friends loved them a lot.
