    Dear Padhu
    I use a Canon Powershot which is 6 years old and doesn't have SLR feature. My daughter has recently bought a new camera with SLR features. Shall check with her for suggestions and revert.

    Hello Paddu,

    Ever since I tasted the koorma at Sharvana Bhavan, I have been looking for a recipe to replicate that taste at home. I came across your blog for the first time yesterday and tried this recipe. This has been the best koorma I have ever made and tastes very similat to what we tasted at Sharvana Bhavan.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and now that my connoisseur husband liked your recipe, I can not wait to try other recipes from your blog.
