Before I write my first post for 2015, I would like to wish you all a very happy new year a little too late I know but better late than never. I remember last year this time I was making kebabs and I remember how I had to send the recipe to my sis, lazy enough to type I decided to take a few pics and send them instead. After all a picture is worth a thousand words.

 Just when I was about to email her the pictures I thought  a few notes wont hurt and thats how it all started I made a word document and realised that maybe I should start blogging. Just that thought and everything else fell in place. If you look  back at my first recipe you'll see for yourself  how things have changed from then to now.

3. Check seasoning add peeled potatoes and cook further  ( 3 to 4 whistles or until potatoes are cooked).

I prefer a thicker gravy  and dont  like adding any water, if you would prefer a curry over gravy  or to prevent gravy sticking to the pan add some water.
