    Also let me know if you have any website for non veg items…

    • Hi Vijayalakshmi,

      Most of my recipes are South Indian Vegetarian and using Garam Masala is minimum. Hence I do not prepare it at home. I will any good brand available whenever I need. For Biriyani/Kurma I use whole spieces like clove, cardamom, aniseed, cinnamon stick etc. I am a pure vegetarian, and I do not know how to cook non-vegetarian recipes.
