Hi All, I am back from an exciting vacation in India.All the weddings went well and we had a mellow time shopping n njoying and spoiled by all the pampering from parents..The only unbearable thing was the summer heat there, and it occasionally made both of us sick...Though we are back, physically, our hearts are still in India,the kitchen is still closed and i m not sure when i m gonna resume cooking ;).So i thought i ll first play around with some drafts that i have, get inspiration and start cooking :)..
Hope you all are having a beautiful time in the summer...

Welcome back, seems you had a good time. Ah! the heat is indeed terrible here. Your chicken curry looks great. Settle down and come up with more recipes.

Loved your blog. I am reminded of Thai Green curry chicken with this recipe. If you add coriander and fish sauce and exclude ginger, you would have made a Thai green curry!
Lovely presentation.
