I have abandoned this blog for quite some time now. The fact that I have too many blogs plus a writing career have made my hands full. But, hey this coming new year I will try to share more recipes with all of you out there who would want to sample Asian dishes. I would like you to try this diah called chicken kurma. This is my children's favourite
dish. The taste is mild and those who love curry would definitely like this too. Perfect taken with plain rice, briyani or even bread. The chicken can be substituted with beef or mutton, up to your taste. Have a go!
