We eat raw food often here at my place. And i m yet to post some of those. While we are it, i thought i must share with you all this gojju recipe. Gojju is nothing but sauce in kannada and its a staple in most homes. While this is not something amma makes, it s something that Suma aunty of the spring onion rice fame, makes very well. I have probably had one too many sleepovers at her place but i have never bothered to ask her for the recipe. Nope. Every time, i do make a mental note that i have to. Why, the last time, i even set a reminder on my phone. But to no avail. So i actually decided to take the plunge and make my own version. It almost came close to that and Mr.P loved it so much that i made it twice in a row.
