        for cooking green gram. Take 1 cup of green gram in a cooker, add three cups of water and cook for 3 whistle. Simmer for 10 mins. Then turn off the heat and let the pressure go all by itself

      Hi,
      Can you put every curry that doesn't require coconut under one group.? It is really hard to find out. My dad is diabetic and this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

      Can you please please simplify your recent receipes section just like your normal other index. It's difficult to go through each page one by one. I request you please.
