Dear All,
It amazes me how each and everyone of us can brilliantly use the same ingredient in a 1000 different ways … … so I thought of exploring it further.
Each week we will have a certain spice/herb/fruit/vege …please tell us how and why you use the ingredient of the week in day to day life.
Just eat mangoes and throw the chilkaas

In your face CBs! hehe It's cos you say 'besan' and not 'vesan' as it should be. :)
If you are only using 1 pepper get a green one cos the colours will look better with the mango and red onion.
