‘Everything is so beautiful and serene here’. I told my dad, sipping my morning tea which was all ready when I woke up. ‘Feels like I am camping in a forest’, I said again. What else would go in your mind if you are surrounded by acres of greenery and everything beautiful nature has to offer. Squirrels enjoying the nectar from the plantain blooms, pigeons, coconut grooves, river…
Yeah..This is what I wake up to every morning, these days.
Sourness from the mangoes, creaminess of the coconut and the succulent prawns all combined transforms a curry from good to finger licking good. One more authentic curry from the southern state of India.
