Hello Everyone...... This post deals with some easy to cook recipes especially written for those who either dislike cooking or are not very fond of it.....it is for newly married girls who don't know how to cook, for those who feel lazy to cook or haven't even entered the kitchen till date.

All men and women, young girls and guys, those who live alone, single or married or even experts can try out some of the dishes which I tried and it turned out well.

The first dish which I tried all by myself was bhindi (lady finger) fry. Since childhood I thought Bhindi was the most boring vegetable and I'm still not a big fan of it. But as we all know, all vegetables are good for health  so here's sharing the recipe of making a boring bhindi into a delicious delicacy

For all the bhindi lovers Or non lovers do give it a try.
