Madhu anneh, thanks for your nice words. I am gifted to have annehs who care for me.
May God Bless all my brothers.

Madhu anneh, my famous old aunt came to Malaysia for my niece's wedding.
Normally she would make lightning visits to Malaysia. (Such a busy woman, 85 years old )
This time she was forced to stay for a week because of all the happenings in our family.
She gave us tips on even simple cookings, that made the dish so delicious.
Today I will post a simple keerai dish that was so delicious.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
