HI, I just saw your blog, it¨s very interesting and from now on I¨ll try to visit often this postand see "what is cooking" Thanks ! Juanita
ReplyDeleteSeveral recipes will be going on my pinterest board. They look Sokol good. I am curious about your kulcha recipe. It has curd as one of its ingredients but when I think of curd I think of lemon curd which wouldn't fit. Could you tell me what kind of curd to use, please?
ReplyDeletePatti4362@gmail.com
Hi Anonymous, use plain curd or yoghurt in the kulcha recipe.
