Heeewwwoooo People,
I hope you all good, eating , cooking and enjoying life :) I am doing well too.
Are you scared of hosting parties?? Calling people at home and cooking lots of food? I was scared of doing that myself, until I discovered that you can be a great host with minimal effort. Do some smart cooking and you are sorted. Smart cooking means the cooking dishes which takes less time and are actual party dishes.
I have hosted a few dinner parties now and have made such simple recipes and my guests have been super delighted. Some of them even asked for the recipe.:)
Hence I'll share one of those simple Indian curry dish recipe with you, which does not involve cutting onions, tomatoes etc etc and then cooking them for long hours. It will just require 20 mins and will taste like you have ordered it in a restaurant somewhere.
