Just one more day to go when the school here reopens after the long summer vacation. Having spent lavish time enjoying at home, Amaan is not in a mood to go back to school once again. Hope he catches up the routine once it starts.....

Today, I am presenting my second recipe of mushroom, the first being Mushroom Fry. This time I made it in masala gravy and it had turned out really well.....
