Weekend cooking - rogan josh

This curry is prepared very often at my home specially on weekends this is one of my favourite curry
Had shared the recipe few years back today reposting this again with new pics ,as today prepared the curry semi dry way without much gravy tastes good if simmered for long on slow flame,
Serve it warm garnished with coriander leaves ,paired it with lachaparatha & rice.

On completing 7 yrs of Food Blogging

Sunrays stream through the window
And then I realise
That today is the day
When I took the first stride.
Some 7 yrs back I stole
Few moments to start this space
And when now I look back
I know what all I have gained.
Have shared many unseen emotions
Which others didn't knew
And discovered that I could
Write in verse too.
So the space
Between you and me
Is reduced because of this
Its another facet of me
Which I really cherish .
So this month of mars
Is special for me
And because of this
I celebrate it.
Its asankhana my blog
Which was born today
And this poem is for
The blog birthday.
