#midnight
Boiled Ber remind me of school days when after school me and my friends used to buy these from the vendors sitting outside the school compound, these sweet and sour fruit gave a very different kind of thrill while having it. Whenever I get these dry red Berries in market, I enjoy this dish by making it at home. My kids also like to have these boiled berries.

Whenever my hunger pangs are active midnight, I like to have something tangy and spicy. So I cooked these super simple and yummy Ber last night for me and my daughter while enjoying 'Dr Strange'
