DRUMSTICK RICE WITH ARABIC CHUTNEY

    HELLO THERE MOMMYS!


    Summers here,time to sweat and for us mommys cooking in the kitchen at this time of year is just fantastic..note the sarcasm.

   Phew! I know how hard it is to stand in front of the flame for hours especially with kids around.Its like doing two jobs at the same time.We can always go to the restaurants to take a day off,but lets be honest,we are mommys,money savers,we know cooking at home is much more affordable than going out for dinner-everyday.

   Who doesnt love continental food? We all do but we mommys know there are many complicated ones,meaning,staying in the kitchen in that heat for hours and hours.My family is a huge fan of arabic cuisine.Arabics like their food blend,not much masalas,but we indians always need some spice in our food...and our life.


   But you know what,im about to share an indo-arabic recipe with you.
Note the perks-easy,not so complicated and worth it.


 So lets get started *stretches out*
