    I tried this. Result was good. The curry goes well with putt, rice and chapathi. I like this since it is easy preparation. Thanks a lot. I added chopped onions along with grated coconut before roasting, and the gravy becomes tastier, I think.

Bangalore, India to Dublin, Ireland amidst Covid-19

We, (myself, my husband, and our ten years old daughter), travelled from Bangalore to Dublin through Paris on 13th August 2020, as my husband got an employment offer from Ireland. We all were excited about the relocation but cautious.
