Aalu gosht sojne ki phalli ka saalan(potatoes mutton and drumsticks curry)
yesterday i bought two long fresh drumsticks from the supermarket to prepare sambhar , i was unaware that its my MIL’s fav veg. She told me that she’ll prepare the above mentioned curry which is relished by every member of her household and this was the first time i had it. And when this curry was ready by the expert hands it was so deliciously colourful and awfully tasty that i had to admit that even without tomatoes, curries could be made heavenly delicious. Actually i had a very serious feeling that tomatoes are an essential ingredient for most delicious dishes.I was proved wrong here
