I have been following a strict diet these days, and the only day I am allowed to take cheat meals, is the weekends, Not as rich as this one though, but I was forced to prepare something delicious this weekend and I ended up making this.
But I am glad I made it, because, it made everyone happy, including me, and a filled tummy is more important than a flat tummy. :-).
Anyway, sorry for the low quality of the photos as I used my Smartphone’s Camera. I think I should carry my gear even when I am visiting a relative, who knows when the inspiration strikes?
Okay, enough jokes now, I’ll leave you with the step-by-step recipe for this Deliciously amazing Kolhapuri Chicken. I am sure you’ll love it.
