Selviem I am so happy for you.
The Kugan Kitchen friends all wish you the best in the competion.
Come on friens give her some suggestions.
Is it healthy dish, or any tasty dish.
Do not worry Selviem, you are a super cook.
Lets see the recipes, biryani?
Thanks. Kugan98

Aarthii, you are a gem, I know.
Thanks for the nice feed backs and compliments.
Please do not feel bad to say, if you find any recipe
that is not to your expectation.
At least we will have a chance to correct.

Aarthii, try the chicken, it will be very tasty.
The chillie, sugar, sauce and vinegar is up to your taste.
Lots of onions make the dish very tasty.
Thanks. Kugan98
