Outbrain
Had it with rice. Tastes good mainly because of the onion coconut paste.
Real good one; everyone in our family liked it. I wanted to write review for this, but the search function for cookbook doesn't work at all. I put search string masoor, it showed all recipes, again I put malwani, it showed all the recipes, then I put masoor coconut for search string, again showed all the recipes. Need to fix the search function in cookbooks.
