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.

Hi Shaan,
Mouth watering recipe. I want to try this. One small doubt. Is it deep fry or shall I try with pan with little oil?

Shaan Geo on March 24, 2013

Hi Vasantha, Thank you very much for your nice words. You can deep fry or shallow fry (frying in a pan by adding a little oil) it.

Vasantha on March 28, 2013
