    Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. I am so glad to have found you. I have a limited knowledge of Indian food and although I probably won't prepare many of them, for many reasons such as my age, ingredients that I can't find, I will have a better idea of what to order in a restaurant. Although the closest to me is about 90 to 100 miles away and it is snowing here, I really, really want to go
    Thanks again and happy new year.
