Penang Curry by Green Ladle

Usually I wrote about ways to make exotic food in easy and simple way by using easily available ingredients. You will agree with me we all have a chef inside us who wants to prepare something special for our nears and dears but due to lack of confidence of cooking we are unable to do that ...

Few days back one of my friend Anu introduced me to a very beautiful concept of a culinary portal that delivers the finest quality of pre-portioned ingredients and recipes so that you can enjoy home-cooking of global cuisines and surprise your friends and family with your culinary skills.

When she explained this concept, I felt is it really so. Are the ingredients fresh, if portions are well balanced then I ordered one and really I was surprised by the quality of ingredients they are so fresh, clean and recipe is so well explained.

I am sharing my Experience of Penang Curry with Green Ladle....
