This Recipe I learnt from my friend swapna's mother when she had come here for her daughter's delivery. Aditya & swapna have got a beautiful daughter Khushi. well, swapna is basically from Hyderabad & her mother can only speak Telagu, I have lovely time learning her recipes by speaking with her in my broken Telugu, as i had told earlier I love Andra Vantalu as they are very spicy.
