This post was lying in my draft for so long for some reason, kept postponing the post. Finally got to it.. If we return home in the middle of the week after our holiday or India trip mostly I wouldn’t have any vegetables. It is easy to pick up onion and tomato from local stores. So making this recipe is easier even without vegetables and it tastes amazing
