My mom is the first inspiration for cooking. Next is ma Patti ( Dad's Amma). .It is from her I learned all the basics and almost all the recipes. She herself was self taught, experimenting and collecting recipes from friends, relatives and anyone whenever she came across a tasty dish. And even after 60 years of experience in the kitchen, she does not seem to lose curiosity. . She made all my favourite dishes and I decided to share few of them with you. So starting with this MUTTON SOUP recipe, stay tuned as i will be sharing many more of Patti's cooking (exclusively cooked by her)...Hope you will enjoy trying out some.
This soup is a always a sunday breakfast at our home. Its spicy and tangy made in south Indian style with onions, tomatoes and whole lot of spices. Bowl of hot soup during a rainy day is heavenly. And its a good home remedy for common cold too ;)
