    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.

We all were excited about the relocation but cautious. When our friends and relatives came to know that we travelled during the pandemic, many, who wanted to join their spouse or family abroad, but concerned about travelling with kids, started pinging us asking for the precautionary measures we took and the travel details.
