      hey Aarthi - can I use your "Nattu Kozhli" receipe for my poetntial Cooking session here in Perth (I shall get this dicussed with my team here anyways before launch), thought to seek your permission before that and I would specify that you are my source tho!!
      In Perth, all the Punjabi's cook something so called a weird "Butter Chicken" in a bowl and sell them at Restaurants for $40.00, so why not the Westerners simply follow your receipe and save their money and inturn eat hygenically? what say Aarthi.. look forward for your reply 🙂

      Hi ! Thank you for sharing this delicious lemon chicken recipe. Have a question to ask what can we use instead of soy sauce and can we add brown mushrooms in it ? Thanks and waiting for your reply
