I have written DESI Karhai because this is my mother’s traditional recipe, thou she was making a number of Karhai recipes but this was uncomparable and scrumptious. My mother’s cooking was versatile, I saw her trying every cuisine in her kitchen.
I can not forget the taste of her food and the efforts which she was putting in to make her family satisfy. Truly no comparison of Mother’s cooking.
