Magic Mingle, New Event Kick-Started by Kalyani of Sizzling Tastebuds. Every month, we pick-up two ingredients, to be featured as the main taste adding ingredients of a dish. January's Magic Mingle Ingredients are Cinnamon and Chillies. If you guys, think only about Pulav's, please go visit the round-up linky @ Kalyani's, you would be dumbstruck to see different dishes featuring this combo!!!
When Kalyani announced the combo, i too thought of making some Pulav, then decided to try both the ingredients into this Masala Curry. I normally use only green chillies or Sambar powder while making this Potato Curry, never used any other kind of masala. For the first time, i have used cinnamon and it tasted good. Hoping to have Many such Magical Combinations, which push us to try something new every month.
