Chef used to wait tables at a restaurant in Bandra & this was one of the first dishes made by him. The king of comfort food to & no one can be sad after a bowl of good khowsuey. 

According to the Chef: “I recently upgraded my cookware with the Stahl Artisan hybrid series which is a dream to cook with, both the products shown in the video are just perfect for every Indian house hold and perform way better than any non stick cookware I have ever used.
