cooked it too but then Canada kept popping in my head continuously!
country from inside the class when we were doing world geography. Either she
forgot to throw me out or gave up on me realizing that I will never be able to
draw maps to her satisfaction! Then there were Mills n Boon and instead of
reading the antics of the fair damsel and the dark hero and the villain thrown
in I used to love to read about the countryside….!!
interested since Manali went to Canada for a year long course. Vivek, her husband and she told me about warm
people who live there and the different foods, authentic food available not
like our Indo- Chinese, they have described the Japanese etc. food available
too.
to do street foods, generally.
this time. I have had to make it 3 times now before I got pictures because the
girls loved it so much that they have finished it as soon as my back turned.
picture is taken after it was dark and the gravy was steaming and in a hurry.

I am the opposite. Somehow I have a phobia towards the peel and never use unpeeled potatoes. 🙂
Fries are tempting and that gravy is new.
Usha says
Never tried fried with a gravy. I am enjoying your street food around the world. Can't wait to see what you whipped up for rest of the countries.
