Recipe by Girl from India

This is a recipe adapted from the net. We make a lot of different cuisines at home but my friends say I have a touch for Italian cuisine. Funnily enough I myself have never tasted authentic Italian cuisine. There are good Italian restaurants but we do not eat out much. No inclination as my hubby says I make better stuff at home. Very good excuse not to take me out and keep me happy with the complement too! ;)I have married a wonderful and smart man! I don't complain as cooking is a passion with me.
