Hi Vilma,
All your recipes are awesome. Seems like you are a pro. at whatever you have been cooking. I have been cooking some Goan dishes using ready made dry malasa which we bought from Mapusa market, while vacationing in India. But I am going to try making some from scratch following your way. Wish me luck !!
