According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Actually, before putting veggis into masala, if we will just fry it well then the raw smell will go and it will test a bit good. specially gobi.

Shaan Geo on January 5, 2014

Yes, you are right Deepak, it will be more tasty if you fry it. To make it simple I avoid that step. Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Rani, Thanks a lot for the nice words and also for the suggestion. Because of the technical reasons I am not able to add more photos. If I do so, the pages will take more time to load for the users with low bandwidth internet connection. Anyway I will try to include images of important steps. Once again thanks for the feedback.
