Yes!!! this dish is really an easy-peasy one.. my mom's first recipe in my blog :) For all of us our mother would be the best guide in cooking :) Mom's recipes are simple and the BEST !! COOKING was a nightmare for me after marriage and she was the one who made it easy. Amma simplifies the recipes as if cooking is nothing big. That made me all the way through here. Sometimes we will have leftovers especially the rice part. Rice is the heart of everyday cooking :P
This recipe is such an easy one that you can make the leftover rice a really delicious lunch meal for the next day.... cool right !? :) Bachelors, working wives and even for the home makers who find it hard for getting up early to prepare lunch ..make a note of this recipe. This is a life saver !! :P
