Today is Sunday. A holiday, no office so what I decided to do is let Mr Hubby cook lunch. As it is, he is the one who decides the menu on all holidays.....days that he is at home whatever the reason.
Mr Hubby bought a desi chicken and desi chicken has less meat on it. The Desi chicken curry is however just delicious.
Plan your sunday. Make it yourself and enjoy.
