    Hi Sharda...Thanks for stopping by.Im delighted........its so funny that you hopped over to my space from aayis recipes......lol. ive still not managed to lure the cooking diva to my space.....Never mind I will accept left overs ( read that as spill overs ) if they are from Shilpas kitchen gratefully. as for the step by step photographs I dont know how long Im going to keep it up........LOL its quite tiresome really........Just that my panasonic camera is still wet behind the ears and the nonexistent photographer in me is delighted with her new toy.........as for the conversation i hope it keeps you entertained it keeps me focussed while cooking.........what i do is get all the ingredients together on a plate......step one.....then its easier to click photographs while you assemble the dish......but dont let me fool you......Its a lot of work really.

    Hi Sharada,
    This karela curry looks very different from the ones I make. It looks really good. I'll try it soon.
