My son hates watching Indian channels... The only programme he will watch is Adukkala on Asianet and that too only the recipe bit! (hmmm... A little chef in the making!!!!). And when the recipe bit comes, by hook or by crook, he makes sure Iam there watching it. So this is one recipe I got from there....don't remember the exact day of telecast but I remember the recipe by heart!!!! I recommend anyone reading this to try it out....it's absolutely delicious!!!!
