Leaves…

Leaves…I love them and are a must have in at least a couple of meals every week. This is a simple and easy recipe for fresh Amaranth Leaves. The best way is to cook them uncovered and not for long.

Garam Masala Fish Fry

Most recipes have a little story behind them. In some its a bit of fun and banter. I got fish in the morning. After washing it up, I asked my wife to give me turmeric.
