After staying in India for more than 6 months, I learned to appreciate their food and culture. Decided to make one of my favorite Indian dishes for the first time, took me a while to finally try cooking this Indian dish as I thought it would be tedious but I was pleasantly surprised as it was quite quick and easy to whip up.
