Thanks to all my blogger friends for their sweet comments and for eagerly waiting for more recipes from the yum blog! 🙂
My mother became seriously ill in mid february and was hospitalised for more than three weeks. I was in Gurgoan, taking care of my mother in the hospital during day time. In the past few days, I have learnt a lot about balanced diet, physiotherapy, some info on medical science and a few yummy andhra recipes from my sister in law Padma.
You give anything to an andhra lady, she will prepare a pachadi ( thogayal or chutney) out of it! 🙂 Here’s the recipe for venthaya keerai thogayal( Fenugreek leaves chutney), Padma prepared for me.
