I just made this to go with our dinner tonight. It was really tasty & quite simple. Of course, I too used frozen mixed veggies & cooked potatoes. I skipped the cream, since the amount of sauce looked plentiful enough & a really nice consistency already. I'm looking forward to using all fresh veggies next time, since that's always better. I've already added it to my cookbook for the future. Thanks!

I live in New Delhi, India. I am a stay-at-home grandmom. I spend a fair amount of time on the net....and while surfing for a recipe ran into this site. After that; this is it....a one-stop station for every kind of recipe. I have no favourite cookbook but love collecting recipes from any source. I play a lot of scrabble (Any potential scrabblers out there?!) and hate cooking in summers. Temperatures run into the 40 degrees cent. range and our kitchens are not airconditioned!! I love travelling and, given a chance, would take a month long luxury cruise which touched exotic ports! Aaaahhh....pure bliss!!!!
