I will definitely try these, they look delicious, thank you to you both.
Hetal you looked so uncomfortable, understandable since you are vegetarian. If you all are going to branch out to beef maybe just have Anuja do those videos.
I was not always a vegetarian but gave it up when I was much younger because I did not like the taste of meat. I’m the only vegetarian in my family so I do cook meat for them.
Love how both of you to cater to so many tastes! This is one of my favorites and I will try it very soon :)!
DISAPPOINTED, that you’re using BEEF. I was Immediately turned
Off.
