Curried Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
Who doesn’t love Mac and Cheese. I love it all time. There is something in that which makes me feel happy. I took over this plain simple dish and spiced it up. This takes the everyday mac and cheese to the next level. In our house we always fight for the top crusty part of this dish, it taste so good. For extra crispy texture I sprinkled some breadcrumbs over this. To accompany this dish I made parmesan crusted chicken and it was so good. So hope you all give this a try and tell me how it came out.
