    We have started planning for this weekend..May be go to some nice places and take some pictures to test our camera. Other than that, normal cleaning, washing and organising must be the plan. What are your plans for weekend..
    Now back to the recipe..This one is a traditional recipe in southern part of india. Each place have their own way of making erissery. I adapted this recipe from nags and loved it a lot. Its pretty simple to make, but the taste was awesome. I made this for onam and we totally enjoyed that meal.
