I have my school alumini meet tomorrow and am pretty much excited to see the school, friends and teachers after almost 15 years. So waiting for the autograph moments!!Keerai kootu is mittus fav and am happy that she has not adapted her mothers habit of ignoring this healthy veggie 😉 so keerai kootu is made often for her sake.
