    I made this Fried Chicken for dinner and my husband liked it a lot. Do not skip the curry leaves. It really enhances the flavor.

    Your recipes look very good, but one request: would it be possible to include the name of the recipes in the Indian dialect from which the recipe originates, or the name (other than an English name) by which the recipe is most widely known?
    I really enjoy knowing the name of the dishes that I make are, as well as when I eat at a restaurant.
    For me, this little bit of knowledge truly improves the experience!
    Thank you,
    Craig
