Kugan, I tried your lotus root curry. Gravy was superb-very tasty. Unfortunately, the lotus root was not good ( I used frozen). I will try the same gravy again with potato. Thanks!

thanks for the clarification. cabbage podi poriyal looks yummy.
Dear Lakme, one way I am happy that your gravy was nice.
The other, very sad that your lotus roots were not good.
Try again with fresh roots if you can get.
I am very happy with your feedback.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Take care, Kugan98
Oh I am so sorry about your galangal plant.
I will try to sneak some more in my next visit.
I am glad your cousin liked the chicken recipe.
