Its a rocking weekend. My mom-in-law is here and i am savouring every moment of it. It always nice to have a extra pair of hands helping me out in the kitchen. And it is even better if they happen to be much more experienced.
My mom-in-law happens to be a great cook and these days i am enjoying her preparations. The 'kancha maccha tarkari' happens to be her forte. So, here i am sharing this wonderful preparation with all -
