RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Indian from a middle class family.I was the youngest in my family and never needed to cook a fabulous meal myself.
But after marriage,things are not the same.My husband has a very refined taste buds and he is very fond of top class food.So these days I am just experimenting lots of new dishes and trying to please my husband..My mother-in-law is also a great cook,and though i didn't get a chance to live with her for long time,but I am sure I'll disappoint her a lot in this respect as not being that good at cooking ,is my weekest point.
So when ever I cook some thing great ,which my husband loves,that is my best day.
