Description
This is something i make. It is my own concoction. I add vegetables to this too sometimes but the meat is compulsory at my home. Dh and ds love this. I omit the tomato too sometimes and make a dryish onion and garlic based dish which is also very good. The spices can be adjusted to suit your taste. Anything goes in this for me as i do not make the same recipe again without tweaking (very bad habit but cannot be helped i am like that only)so i am writing out of memory and what appeals to me right now. So feel free to
