Alhamdulillah finally tried out chicken munchurian which my sister @pearls_petals89 has been recommending. MashaAllah tabarakAllah it was delicious and feeling like making it again soon iA. I'd probably go easy on the sauce next time as my hubby isn't too fond of excessive tomatoe sauce in curries. All in all I'm celebrating my achievements, my growth in cooking. Always give yourself time and opportunity to learn. Never say never. Eat drink but do not be wasteful (Al Qur'an) #chickenmunchurian #yummychallenge #foodporn #asian #asianfoodporn
