Traditional Coorg Lunch
And so, this is Me, continuing my post about the lunch at Kaveri Ponnapaโs residence.
Being at the kitchen with Kaveri and watching her cook, talking about food, smelling all that food being cooked right under my nose, truly whetted a great appetite.
The lunch was outstanding, so satisfying and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you @kaverikamb I am looking forward to hosting you to a home-cooked Singapore Indian meal when you are in Singapore.
