nice recipe…but washing vegies after cutting is a bad practice..you will loose water soluable vitamins
@vennela neethipudiNoted it..Will follow it..Thanks
Healthy. ..!!
No Vennela, we are wrong. probably 10 years back this concept is ok, i.e. before cut any veggies should be washed not after. But due to usage of more chemicals in plantation wash it as much. Otherwise we consume more chemcials along with Veggies. This i suggest to everyone. Am I right Aarthi?
Thanks Vasantha
@Anonymousi think your point of view is right..
This is a very well known recipe, but I appreciate your presentation with great photos. Excellent! Keep it up!
